Gild N' Glisten

Hello! This is my first (of hopefully many!) mods for Minecraft!

The goal of this mod is to provide Glistering Melon Slices as a good mid-end game food source on par with golden carrots, as prior they have little to no use outside of brewing potions (and distracting piglins!)

Glistering Melon Slices will feed you around 3 hunger, and can always be eaten. However, at the cost of providing no saturation, they heal you for around 2 hearts of health! Cool right?

This mod also introduces a new block, the Gilded Melon! The Gilded Melon is a gold variant of the Melon block that can be crafted primarily by using 9 glistering melons, just like normal melons! Gilded Melons require an axe of iron or higher tier to break, and yield 3-7 Glistering Melon Slices, just like a normal melon! Also just like a normal melon, you can use fortune to rack up to 9 Glistering Melon Slices from a Gilded Melon!

The last 2 items added respectively are the Melon Plating, and Melon Plating Mold.

The Melon Plating can be used on a placed/grown Melon Block to convert it instantly into a Gilded Melon! (This feature was primarily to help with automation from various other mods!)

The Melon Plating Mold is the item required to craft a Melon Plating. This item is crafted by forming a ring out of 4 iron ingots, and 4 iron nuggets. Craft the Melon Plating Mold in the middle of a Gold Bar and a Bucket of Lava to recieve a Melon Plating! This recipe will also return the Melon Plating Mold and a Empty Bucket in the crafting grid!

I can't wait to see what people do with this mod, happy crafting ^^
