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/
For 1.16.1 with Fabric mod loader. 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.

Very epic 10/10, unironic
thanks quat
Any plans for a 1.15 update?
didn't know people still cared about this mod lol. i'm busy with modfest at the moment but it should be a quick port after that
In reply to quat1024:
Thanks!
In reply to quat1024:
Oh, it looks like the carved melon is unobtainable in item form. I tried harvesting with a silk touch axe and with a piston, both just deleted the block.
I probably broke the loot tables 🙃
Yep, loot tables were broken (I changed the mod ID but forgot to change the data pack namespace, so my block loot tables weren't getting recognized). I actually tested it this time, lol, and it seems to work.

Works great now, thanks!
In reply to quat1024:
I'm quite interested in it - Though I must admit my interest is academic. I'm completely new to minecraft modding and I also want to create a block with redstone functions and your mod seems to be quite a good jumping off point to learn from. So thank you for that. If I get as far as publishing a working mod I will most definitely credit you for inspiration if not more.
i've kinda been meaning to turn this into an example "learn to mod" mod, because you're right, it is fairly simple internally
In reply to quat1024:
I've realised since that I'm using forge rather than fabric but some of it should be similar.
could you please do a forge version?
Ligma ball's
will you update it to 1.14.4?
It should just work on 1.14 unless mojang changed something.
make 1.12.2
make it yourself
Update to the past when?
This seems like a really nice mod that actually gives melons some functionality beyond being food.
Out of curiosity, are you planning on making a 1.12 port at some point?Edit: Just read through the comments and found the answer to my question.
