Overview
This mod adds a slightly kooky way to farm melons and pumpkins. Quick rundown:
- Pumpkins and melons no longer break when pushed by a piston. They also obey gravity.
- Upon falling on blocks like pointed dripstone, melons and pumpkins split into slices.
- Farmer's Delight must be installed for pumpkins to drop pumpkin slices.
- Large pumpkin slices from Autumnity also break into slices. (Note that Abnormals Delight must also be installed for the standard pumpkin-to-slices cutting board recipe!)
- [1.21.1] Gourdnuts from Abundant Atmosphere drop two pumpkin slices.
Config
- Number of pumpkin slices dropped from pumpkins that fall on dripstone (default: 4)
- Chance of dropping extra pumpkin slices (default: 0)
- Number of extra pumpkin slices that would drop (default: 0)
- [1.19.2 & 1.21.1] Whether falling gourds deal damage to entities (default: true)
Block Tag
Blocks with the block tag gravity_gourds:pointy will turn gourds into their sliced forms. By default, this just includes vanilla's pointed dripstone.
Requires Blueprint. Optional compat with Farmer's Delight and Autumnity.
