I really wish it would just drop whole melons which could then be "crafted" into individual slices. My piston-harvested melon farm lags the server for a bit until I pick up several hundred melon slices. :laugh.gif:
(It's not insanely huge btw: it's eight rows of 16 melons each. But that translates to 128-896 melon slices all popping up at once.)
I almost made a thread about this... I updated to 1.9 p4 and as everyday went to my farm and started doing the chores... my wheat farm first to feed animals and breed, then i went to collect my precious melons and.... 1 melon slice for each big juicy melon? WTH ? Something that any1 pointed on this thread yet is that melons seeds are suposed to be a GOOD prize for cave exploring (which is not that easy.. yet not hard) Id be agree if they nerf them a little bit, but... 1 ? is outrageous! Hope this is a glitch... but i smell in the air that is an attempt to nerf them ? i dont know, i hope not..
As I recall, a lot of people were complaining that the watermelons dropped way too many slices. So I don't think this is a glitch, but a nerf.
Hmmm yeah, maybe is a nerf... its what i smell but mojang went too far for a nerf. They should be dropping at least 2 or 3... IDK. If you consider thar you get melon seed son the first way as a loot from a chest on a shaft, like a did, the nerf (as a prize) used to be ok... the lagg and other issues is another story... but some people like to exagerate and make HUGE automated farms and they wont really need that many melons and complain about lag.
how many melon slices are you supposed to get? I'm getting 4 on my smp server... I'd think it should be more.
That seems really silly... it takes 9 to craft them back into a melon doesn't it?
