Jack-O-Lantern Information

The Jack-O-Lantern is a craftable decorative lighting item that can be held or placed to provide light. It can be purchased from Pierre's booth at the Spirit's Eve festival for 750g. You can also buy the recipe from the booth for 2,000g.

The Jack-O-Lantern influences a radius of approximately 1 tile with dim lighting. It can be placed indoors or outdoors, or in places like the Mines. It can be removed by striking it with a Hoe, a Pickaxe, or an Axe. Unlike the braziers, which can toggle on and off, the Jack-O-Lantern is always on. They provide the least light out of all craftable lighting sources.

On the 1st of Winter, the Jack-O-Lantern turns into a Rotten Plant (unless stored in a chest or inventory).

Jack-O-Lantern Cheat Help

Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.

Spawn Using Animal Name

To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [746]. You will then receive the Jack-O-Lantern item.

Spawn Using Character Name

Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.

However, if you opt for this method, name your character [746] while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Jack-O-Lantern item.
