Melonium
by CodingCat8
Melonium adds a Forge ore that generates in the overworld and the Nether, along with an End ore, and tools, weapons and armor crafted from the new material.
What it does
The mod began as a private server project before its author made it public. The ore is found in the overworld, in the Nether and in the End, so players can gather the material across all three dimensions. Items made from it cover tools, weapons and armor, and the author notes that the material has little use beyond crafting.
Armor pieces crafted from Melonium grant night vision when worn as a full set, and the helmet hides the player's nametag. The mod is named after the author's old cat Alladdin. Melonium runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2024-07-27, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Overworld ore
The Melonium ore generates in the overworld and can be mined with a pickaxe to collect the raw material.
Nether and End ore
Additional deposits of the ore appear in the Nether and the End, giving access to it in every dimension.
Crafted tools and weapons
Tools and weapons are made from the refined material, providing equipment at the same tier.
Night vision armor
A full set of Melonium armor grants night vision, and the helmet hides the player's nametag.
