Easter eggs

An Easter egg is an intentional hidden message, inside joke, or feature in a work such as a computer program, web page, video game, television program, movie, book or any other form of media. Minecraft features several Easter eggs hidden in the game.

On October 31, zombies, zombie villagers, husks, drowned, skeletons, strays, bogged, parched, zombified piglins, and wither skeletons have a 22.5% chance to wear carved pumpkins and a 2.5% chance to wear jack o'lanterns on their heads. This feature was added in Java Edition 1.4.2 for Halloween 2012 onward, and to Legacy Console Edition sometime after.

The only splash text shown is "OOoooOOOoooo! Spooky!"
