7 years ago This is not limited to pumpkins and jack'o lanterns, but it affects most rotatable blocks. The facing direction of rotatable blocks is based on the player look direction in Minetest.
Do you mean that in MC, it is based on the face of the rightclick block? OK. So I guess I can confirm what you just said.
I think I could fix this, but it's not really important for now.
If you dig out a block in a wall (for example) and place a jack o' lantern by targeting the block behind the block you just dug out, it places the jack o' lantern with the face pointing outward. This is correct.
Now if you try to target the side of a block to the left or right of the block you just dug out, it places the jack o' lantern with the face pointing outward. This is not Minecraft-like. It should show the side of the jack o' lantern, not the face. This is also true for pumpkins which also have a face.
Edit: Doesn't work on first try, but after a few repeated tries it eventually places the jack o' lantern or the pumpkin to the side. Weird.
