📖About Better Melon

Title

Feel free to use this mod in your modpack!

简体中文百科:更好的西瓜

Tired of watermelons being just "early-game temporary food" in vanilla Minecraft? The Better Melon (BM) mod reimagines watermelons by optimizing their usability, adding unique variants, exclusive tools, decorative blocks, and watermelon-themed items. It turns watermelons into a versatile element that shines in both mid-late game survival and creative building.

Overview

Revamped Edible Mechanics

Just Right-Click to Eat

  • Now, right-clicking on a watermelon block or a partially eaten watermelon block allows you to eat it directly. Among them, the glowing watermelon block can be eaten continuously even when the hunger bar is full. The watermelon steps and watermelon stairs corresponding to the different new varieties of watermelons added by the mod can also be eaten by right-clicking.
  • Each consumption will use up a quarter of the watermelon block, and the appearance of the block will correspondingly show the remaining part.
    Just Right-Click to Eat

Melon Variants

Three new watermelon types are addd with distinct effects:

  • Yellow-Fleshed Melon: A cosmetic variant with the same hunger restoration as vanilla.
  • Unripe Melon: 40% chance to give the Hunger effect when eaten.
  • Glistening Melon: Restores 2 extra health points (1 heart) per bite.
    Melon Varieties

Partially Eaten Melon Blocks

  • Partially eaten watermelon blocks (e.g., 1/4 slices) can be held and eaten directly. A "small slice" takes only 16 game ticks to eat (half the time of regular food), making it a quick hunger fix.
  • Half-eaten melon cubes can be used as "vertical half-bricks".

Decorative Melon Blocks

Melon Stairs & Slabs:

  • 4 variants (Vanilla, Yellow-Fleshed, Unripe, Glowing) + waxed versions.
  • Waxed blocks prevent accidental eating.
  • Pro Tip: Build with edible melon blocks—you can eat them when you're hungry!
    Slabs in Rain

Carved Melon

  • Carved Watermelons: Use scissors on a vanilla watermelon block to create a carved design.
  • Carved melon with light sources (e.g., torches, glowstone) to make Glowing Carved Watermelons.

Feature Elements

HQ Melon Knife

The mod adds a new tool, which can cut unwaxed melons. There are mainly 3 ways to cut.

Left-click without sneaking = cut off 1/4 each time
Cut Melons
Sneak left click = cut into two 1/2 Sneak right-click (unwaxed) melon block = stairs Sneak right-click (unwaxed)melon stairs = slabs
Cut Melons into Half Right Click Melon Right Click Stairs

Combat Effect: Has a chance to apply the [Bleeding] effect to mobs when attacked.

Curse

Huaqiang Melon Knife has an exclusive enchantment Not Ripe, with a maximum level of 2. This is a "treasure curse enchantment".

  • Lv.1: 50% chance to get an Unripe Melon when cutting vanilla watermelons.

    Lv.2: 100% chance to get an Unripe Melon.

  • Using this enchantment to cut watermelons is the only way to obtain unripe watermelons. The mod gives players the choice of experience — they can either enjoy the fun easter eggs of the mod or focus on survival gameplay, without worrying that unripe watermelons will affect agricultural efficiency.

  • Four new related advancements have been added.

Melon Drinks

  • Glistening Melon Drinks: Brew with a Glowing Melon Block + Honey Bottle in a Brewing Stand.
    Effects: Clears all potion effects → Restores 10 health (5 hearts) → Grants [Regeneration II] (12s) + [Resistance IV] (2.5s).
  • Enchanted Melon Drinks: Brew with Glowing Melon Juice + Enchanted Melon Block.
    Effects: Restores 30 health (15 hearts, excess converts to [Absorption]) → Clears all potion effects → Grants multiple positive buffs.

Melon Rind

Use scissors on a 1/2 watermelon block to hollow out the flesh and get a rind. When the watermelon rind is worn on the head, it has special effects:

Rind Type Effects when wearing as helmet
Rind Prevents Phantoms from approaching
Glistening Rind Prevents Phantoms + makes Piglins neutral.
Enchanted Rind Prevents Phantoms + Piglins neutral + Prevents Creepers from approaching.
