Purpose
Find most effective way to farm pumpkins considering both the difficulty and profitability of each method used.
Process
Used stopwatch to record time taken clearing a strip of pumpkins at "/warp farm".
One strip is ~2,000 blocks (2x1000).
An efficiency 5, unbreaking 3 axe was used.
Recorded total amount of pumpkins farmed and profit earned in elapsed time.
Pumpkins were sold at "/warp highgarden".
Derived the hourly profit by using:
*Actual hourly profits will be less. The time taken to sold the items was not accounted for.Code:3600 / [time elapsed] * [profit]
I have just included them to use as loose reference.
Methods
Methods vary in:
- Speed used (/speed)
- Sprinting or walking
- Clearing one row or two rows at a time (straight-line or zig-zag)

Summary
The way I see it, there are two ways of pumpkin farming:
or
If doing one row at a time, I recommend speed 6 or 7 and sprinting.
If doing two rows at a time, I recommend default speed and sprinting, or upping your game by upping your speed.

Is there any reason you're not using speed 4.5 instead of speed 3 and sprinting, for the double row method? I've also been able to double row at speeds 6 and even 7. I prefer 6 as speed 7 seemed to leave behind pumpkins more often than 6.

When y’all are saying speed. What are your referencing flying or running, if running how do you change running speed.
