About this Mod

Gourds Fix

For when regular pumpkins just don't cut it

Statement library required!

Fabric API / Quilted Fabric API required for Fabric/Quilt!

Description

This mod "fixes" Melons and Pumpkins (hence gourds) attachment to Stems by making the block rotatable. Also allows directional placement for decoration purposes.
This mod should be fine to be removed if needed, blocks will lose their rotation but other than that will remain.
Nevertheless, always backup your world save first!

Description for nerds

This mod does exactly things:

Adds Facing property to Melons and Pumpkins grown blocks (thanks Statement library for making this possible!)
Modifies Vanilla asset to respect said property and rotate the model
Sets the property after block is grown
Sets the property after block is placed by Player
