Pumpkins can be placed on transparent blocks

[Detritus]

Hello,
I have recently been trying to place pumpkins/jack 'o' lanterns on top of fence posts, and failing miserably. I crawled to the wiki, to find out why, and discovered that they can only be placed on top of solid blocks. I don't understand the reasoning behind this, as it is one of the few blocks that can only be placed on solid blocks. I proposed that Flowerchild fixes this so that pumpkins can be placed on either just fences, or even on all transparent blocks. I just don't see the logic behind this, and I have wanted to be able to place the pumpkins on fences for many reasons of late, to create what I have jokingly been calling a Scare-Ender, (of course it's not functional) which consists of a pumpkin on a fence post. This is possible by using a very cheatsy exploit; placing a solid block, and a pumpkin on top, and then replacing the block beneath with a fence post. However, this seems to me to be an exploit, and I wish there were an easier way that didn't seem so against the rules.

As I have said before, I don't see the logic behind not being able to place them on transparent blocks.
TY for your consideration.
:)

Oops, please remove this thread! I accidentally double posted!

No... you quadruple posted. I've never even heard of that before.

Wow holy shit that was an epic derp. Completely accidental.

You can put pumpkins on a non-transparent block, remove it and then put the fence post underneath... it's not "cheatsy"... it's a work-around. I really don't see the point on spending any time implementing a suggestion like this, especially since it isn't for anything other than making a purely aesthetic feature more convenient to accomplish.

Okay...

Also, the quad post:
I blame very slow internet.

But what would this add to BTW? I don't seem to remember needing to place pumpkins on fence posts as a vital part of the tech tree. While this is a legitamate complaint, it is not unnecessary nor important. I hope you don't get a vacation but... good luck.

2 month necro to tell someone you hope they don't get a vacation? C'mon dude. That's like playing Russian Roulette with yourself.

Can we lock this one?

[FlowerChild]

Yeah Locke: Don't necro. I'll give you a free pass here given you had a valid point in that other thread, but please check post dates before responding in the future.
