Gravity, Gourds, & You
by davigj
Gravity, Gourds, & You makes pumpkins and melons break into slices when dripstone or other falling blocks land on them.
What it does
Pointed dripstone and other falling blocks split pumpkins and melons into slices on impact, so a dripstone drip can serve as an unusual farming setup. Pumpkins and melons also break when a pushed piston hits them. The mod is a Forge and NeoForge addition for the 1.19.2 – 1.21.1 range, built on Blueprint, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it.
Several options control the output. The number of slices a pumpkin drops, the number of slices a melon drops, and the chance of extra pumpkin slices are each configurable, with defaults set by the author. Large pumpkin slices from Autumnity break into slices as well. The concept credits Freshah, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The mod is open source under the MIT License, and files exist for 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.
