In vanilla Minecraft, both Golden Apples and Golden Carrots can be eaten, but not Glistering Melon Slices! Better Glistering Melons addresses this grievous oversight by giving Glistering Melon Slices 2 nutrition and 4.5 saturation. This makes them great for restoring saturation, benefiting both your health regen and sprint stamina.
Additionally, this mod adds a full Glistering Melon block. It can be crafted from 9 Glistering Melon Slices or by surrounding a standard Melon with 8 Gold Ingots in a crafting table. Unlike normal Melons, Glistering Melons must be mined with a pickaxe (they're gold-plated, after all), and the whole block is dropped rather than several slices. This means that Glistering Melons can be safely used as a storage block.
Finally, there's a small chance (1/64) that a normal melon stem will grow a Glistering Melon! This is now configurable!
