They give one block more of light reach, are harder to retrieve, and can't be passed through. I will still use torches, but I can see how some people want that 1 extra block distance of light.
yea they aren't worth the use of light in caves
They will be farmable in 1.8 so they will be as easy to retrieve as wheat.
Not collect, retrieve. A torch, you hit it once, it's picked up, you have to break a jack o lantern.
I think he meant it takes longer to pick them up after placing them, compared to torches

that doesn't make any sense you still need torches to make jackolanterns
Jackolanterns give off more light than torches.
Plus aside from the odd enderman-stopping helmet, there's not much else you can do with em.
ah i see now

I like having as much light as I can get underground. And with pumpkin farming being a feature in 1.8, pumpkins will be easier to acquire now. I don't see a reason NOT to do it.

they don't stop Enderman it was just a joke because the eyes in the pumpkins
They do. Endermen don't notice you with them on.
i just remember people saying they do because enderman don't react to you looking at them w/o the cross hair directly on them so people put on a pumpkin to look at them through the eye
please link to me a place where it says(other then reddit) that they dont react to pumpkins
Enderman stopping helm? I doubt it.

They will make a good trail as you can face them toward the exit. A supplement to torches.
This idea, just blew my mind! so simple yet it will work so well!
