Watermelon tools
by Menwey
Watermelon Tools adds melon-based sword, pickaxe and recipes for players who want a food-themed weapon and tool set.
What it does
Ordinary watermelons become the material for a set of new items: a sword, a pickaxe and a golden melon slice recipe for crafting them. The mod is published for NeoForge only, for the 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 range, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. Client and server both need it, so every player on a server running the mod must install it too. The code is covered by All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Crafting uses golden melon slices with sticks, and the pickaxe is aimed at mining stone ores at a fast rate. The author describes the set as a survival boost with bosses and armor planned, though the notes mark those as coming soon.
Key features
Melon sword
A sword that deals solid damage to mobs and leaves a splash effect on each hit, aimed at PvP and zombie hunting.
Melon pickaxe
A pickaxe with mining speed close to netherite tier for stone ores, with high durability.
Golden melon recipes
Both tools are crafted from golden melon slices and sticks, with a standard recipe of three slices and two sticks.
