Watermelons! V1.8

Download: http://www.mediafire...jepi8z3u905os3l

SMP Version: http://www.mediafire...aas8i0ktx9odklq

So, what's this, then? Quite simply, it adds square watermelons, as described in this thread, to Minecraft. You can place them, plant them, grow them, eat them...

Overview:
It all starts with a simple vine...



Which grows, and grows, and grows... (Apologies, the photographer is a bit of a nightcrawler.)



Until finally...



Watermelons! Nom! These vines also sprout up randomly during world generation, on the ground near bodies of water.

Once you've discovered one of these scrumptious, succulent fruits, you can "break" one to pick it. Chopping down the vines has a chance of yielding some seeds, which can be planted to spawn MOAR MELONPLANTS.



Ahem. (Yes, that's a watermelon house in the background.)

As for the melons themselves, they can be placed and eaten, like so: (up to five uses, each healing 1.5 hearts)





Or, if you prefer, you can cut each melon into four slices, which are stackable up to sixteen and can be eaten from your inventory like any other food, healing 1.5 hearts. The reverse can also be done.





Side note: if you eat a watermelon block once it's been placed, the drops change for each use. (Full watermelon = drops itself, one bite = three slices, two bites = two slices, three bites = one slice, anything else doesn't drop.) Also, you can slice watermelons into 4 slices by breaking it with an axe.

And that's about it, I believe. Random watermelon house!



Oh, yes, watermelons can only be placed/stay placed when there's an adjacent block on any side. In other words, no unconnected floaters.

  Heaven! v1.2

  
  Download: http://www.mediafire...26avr4nmed4vv5d
  
  Overview:
  
  You may be asking yourself, what in the world does this thing do? I sure hope so, anyway, because I didn't go to all this trouble to tell you what you already know. So, what've we got here, then? Quite simply, this is Heaven. Hence, y'know, the title of the mod. It's basically the anti-Nether, without the lava, or the screaming monsters of death and destruction. And there's flying magical unicorns instead of fire. (Okay, so maybe not... yet.)
  
  "Wow," you say. "This place sounds absoluto-fantasmastically amazing! How do I get there?"
  
  Glad you asked. Well, not really, because it means I have to type more stuff. All you need is ten to fourteen blocks of Lightstone - or, ugh, Glowstone, if you're a purist - plus four piles of Lightstone Dust and one of Redstone Dust. Set 'em up like so, and KABLAMO! You've got yourself a portal and a lighter! Because, well, you need that stuff.
  
  
  
  
  
  Then tap the unlit portal with the lighter... Starting to get the picture?
  
  
  
  Step right up! Right on through the portal, sir or madam!
  
  
  
  Woah, man. Woooooooooaaaaahhhhhhh. Far out. If you haven't guessed already, one: that's Heaven. Two: you need serious help. It's composed entirely of floating, mystical islands way, way up in the sky. So far up, in fact, that you can't even see the ground below. Because that makes sense! The blocks that make it up are really Heaven-esque versions of various other blocks, all of which can be found here:
  
  
  
  Note: Some textures may not be final. It'll get better! I hope.
  
  And... that's about it! Download it now! Do it! Seriously.
  
  Coming Soon:
  
  • Super special Heaven-only mobs.
    
  • Some more dream-like graphical effects.
    
  • Um, other stuff that has yet to be thought of.
  
  Download: http://www.mediafire...26avr4nmed4vv5d (In case you missed it the first time.)
  
  Instructions:
  1. Get Risugami's ModLoader.
  2. Get ModLoaderMP
  3. Extract both ModLoader and the Heaven mod to "/.minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar"
  4. Delete META-INF from minecraft.jar (Mac users delete everything starting with MOJANG inside META-INF, leaving everything else intact.)
  
  Changelog:
  
  • V1.2:
    [list]
  • Updated for 1.6.6!
    
  • Added clouds below Heaven
    
  • Due to a bug that can cause seizures with the sky, portals are disabled during snow and rain.
    
  • Preparation for the SMP version
    
  • Added Heaven Tall Grass, just use bonemeal on Heavengrass. Kinda ugly for now.
    
  • Miscellaneous bugfixes
• V1.1:
  
  • Falling now takes you to the real world
• V1.0:
  
  • Initial Release

Real nice mod. I applaud you.

[TV]

Huzzah, it has been posted!

[icefox254]

looks alot like xies watermelons

[Wreckage]

I would load this right now, BUT I am out of terrain sprites! Nice mod.

[H20]

WATERMELON HOUSE FTW

[rama9000]

2 questions, is this Modloader compadible, and what Block/Item IDs does it use?
Other than that, YES FINALLY WATERMELONS!

[Steveice10]

Yes, it uses modloader.

Also, it uses Block IDs 99 and 127, and Item IDs 500 and 501.

If anything, I'd prefer sideways vines they gen by ponds, but hey, it's your mod, make it the way you choose it! (if you right click it with an axe, can you make it so it auto-splits into the 4 chunks? It would just make me feel happy knowing I can grow melons, and smash 'em with an axe :3)

1) Grab axe.
2) Point crosshairs at watermelon.
3) Hold down your left mouse button, or your right if you use a left-handed mouse with the left-handed setup.
4) ???
5) Profit.

[GLaCB]

[Daveyx0]

This one seems more realistic then Xie's one. Very nice! I will get it

That's actually a pretty good idea, to cut a watermelon into slices with an axe. I'll probably implement it soon.

wow nice job man i love it but i would be even better with mod loader support.

I also would like to ask if you can mack this mod which i have come up with

Right i have been thinking this up for a long time so i hope that some one wants to make as i have tried to lean java but i am just rubbish at it

so my idea is that you can cut your grass with a lawnmower winch is crafted like this

Lawnmower
[] []
[] []

with this you cut your grass the cut grass wont let any animals spawn on it and the grass will grow again after 4 day and night cycles and when you cut the grass you get grass cuttings which can be put in to a compost heap which has a GUI and tell you when it is done sort of like a furnace but it tack up to a day cycles to make this cold be used like bone meal and Evan used with the mo foodz farming to grow thing faster and with more on it

I was also thinking you cold make a watering can for when there is no water near plowed land so that you can grow crops with out having to have a water source. this could be crafted like this

Watering can

Thanks fish2

It already has modloader support.

[Steveice10]

Thanks for the banner TV! Really nice!

[paganjames]

Did you ask Xie if you could use his images? They seem to be exactly the same as from his farming mod.

I mean if you got permission, cool....if not? Bad form dude,

[soulofaegis]

i didn't know that Xie was the one that originally came up with square watermelons.
and their textures were already created in that suggestion, so he just used those i guess.

[Steveice10]

I got most textures from the suggestion thread, not Xie. (Some were made by TV also) If they are the same as Xie's, then he also used the textures from the thread.
