No Pumpkin Blur is a vanilla-style resource pack for Minecraft Java that strips out the dark, vision-narrowing overlay the game applies whenever a player wears a carved pumpkin as a helmet. In vanilla Minecraft, a pumpkin helmet stops endermen from turning hostile when you look at them, which makes it a common defensive item in PVP and adventuring, but it also blocks most of your screen. This pack keeps the enderman-safety benefit and removes the vision penalty.
What No Pumpkin Blur changes
The pack overrides a single vanilla texture, the pumpkin blur overlay, with a transparent version. Nothing else in the game changes: no other textures, sounds, or models are touched, and the pumpkin helmet's actual gameplay effects (reduced field of view aside, and the enderman aggro immunity) work exactly as they do without the pack. It is purely a client-side visual fix, so it has no effect on other players in multiplayer and no effect on saves.

Supported Minecraft versions
No Pumpkin Blur covers an unusually wide span for a Java resource pack: full releases from 1.0 up through 26.3, all handled by one download rather than separate builds per version. That range holds because the pack only replaces one small overlay texture, a change that has stayed compatible across more than a decade of format updates. The trade-off is that it is a narrowly scoped fix. It does nothing for any other visual element, so pair it with a full texture pack if you want a broader visual overhaul.
Which No Pumpkin Blur pack is this
Several different creators have published resource packs also titled No Pumpkin Blur on Modrinth. This page covers the project by Creanter, hosted at the source link below, which is by far the most downloaded of them. If you already have a different No Pumpkin Blur pack installed, check the creator name on its Modrinth page to confirm which one it is before assuming it's this project.
Questions about No Pumpkin Blur.
5 questions
Does No Pumpkin Blur affect enderman aggro?
No. Wearing a carved pumpkin helmet is what stops endermen from becoming hostile when you look at them, and that is a vanilla game mechanic, not something this pack changes. No Pumpkin Blur only removes the dark vision overlay the pumpkin helmet normally adds, so you keep that safety benefit without losing your view.
Is this the only "No Pumpkin Blur" pack on Modrinth?
No. Multiple creators have uploaded separate resource packs under the same or a very similar name. This page covers the project by Creanter, the most downloaded of them, at modrinth.com/resourcepack/no-pumpkin-blur. Check the creator name on any other listing before assuming it is the same pack.
Which Minecraft versions does No Pumpkin Blur support?
The current build, version 1.4, covers every full release from 1.0 through 26.3 in a single file. The pack has been kept compatible since Minecraft's early Java history because it only replaces one small overlay texture, not a full texture set.
Do I need OptiFine to use No Pumpkin Blur?
No. It's a standard vanilla resource pack that only overrides one built-in texture, so the game's normal resource pack system handles it on its own. OptiFine, Sodium, or any other rendering mod is not required.
Can I use No Pumpkin Blur on Bedrock Edition?
Not this project. It's built for Java Edition's resource pack format, and its source page does not list a Bedrock version. Bedrock players looking for the same fix need a separate add-on made for that edition, such as foxynotail's Transparent Pumpkin Blur, which is a different pack by a different creator.
