Carved Melons
if carved pumpkins are so good how come there's no carved melons
About this Mod
Adds a Carved Melon and Melon o'Lantern, analogs to the Carved Pumpkin and Jack o'Lantern. But psst, secretly, it's a redstone feature, not just a decorative block!
Very much inspired by this Redditpost: https://www.reddit.com/r/minecraftsuggestions/comments/9huxeb/
Requires Fabric API.
Stuff it does:
- Carve a melon by using shears on it, just like a pumpkin.
- Put said carved melon on your head.
- Or place it on the ground, in 12 different directions.
- Craft it with a Redstone Torch to create the Melon o'Lantern.
- The Melon o'Lantern is not only a stylish, dim light source.
- It also acts as a one-side redstone block!
- Only the melon's face emits a redstone signal.
