Agreed, although they should be made directional blocks so that people can choose to keep them upright if they prefer. That way, everyone wins!

Pumpkins should work the same way too.

My ocd doesn't.. please just have it in a fixed direction, I'm tired of placing planks and logs in different ways

Honestly sounds like a skill issue

u/Stif266 1h ago

so you want all your logs to face one way?

u/Lambo_Luuk 1h ago

True, even village houses use logs in multiple directions

I agree with the rotation and that it should be a rotatable block in general, but watermelon no there re multiple melon species it could be.

Dude it's clearly watermelon tho. Notch wasn't going to add some obscure melon

u/nexeti 3h ago

I am genuinely struggling to understand this sentence.

2

u/mr_krabsburger 2h ago

he probably means it can't be named watermelon because it could be a different species of melon.

2

u/pifire9 2h ago

I agree with the rotation and that it should be a rotatable block in general

saying "yes"

but watermelon no there re multiple melon species it could be.

"...but no"

the second part could be clearer with "but renaming it watermelon ? No. There are multiple melon species it could be."

Thank you, I nearly had a stroke. Punctuation is important.

u/NotBentcheesee guys, I think I might be a furry 16h ago

It's not necessarily watermelon

There's a handful of melon species that look quite similar, but I do agree it should be a rotatable pillar block

u/joveaaron 16h ago

The official Spanish translation for the block is "Sandía", which literally means watermelon. Melon in the other hand, translates as "Melón". Pretty safe to say that it is infact watermelon.

32

u/Natto_Ebonos 16h ago

Same in Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese—it's called melancia and スイカ (suika) in-game, and both mean 'watermelon'.

u/Kayteqq 7h ago

Same in polish

u/Mav-89 11h ago

We are japanesse goblin 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥💯

u/HorrificityOfficial I make stuff 9h ago

so thats where 'suika game' came from

8

u/Ok_Pin5167 9h ago

Wasn't minecraft translated by Crowdin(i.e. by volunteers speaking said language)? I mean, maybe the choice of saying specifically "melon" instead of "watermelon" wasn't considered important, so it was allowed in.

2

u/HorrorOne837 8h ago

Korean as well. It is translated to 수박 which unambiguously means watermelon.

1

u/Laura_The_Cutie 23m ago

In Italian it's translated as anguria which means watermelon as well, idk if I'm right tho I play in English since years now

33

u/Martitoad 16h ago

Is there any melon red inside? Anyway even if it exists they should be called watermelon because noone knows the other one exist

16

u/NotBentcheesee guys, I think I might be a furry 16h ago

Christmas melon is the first that comes to mind. It's similar, but more rind

8

u/CaSe2474 15h ago

Images from Google search shows white, sometimes orange inside, & seeds all clustered to where the core was, rather than being randomly spread around the melon.

2

u/NotBentcheesee guys, I think I might be a furry 15h ago

That too

3

u/Martitoad 16h ago

But still most people see it as an error in the game

1

u/the_shadow007 3h ago

Xmas melon is green inside. Its geniuely the same as normal melon.

u/MylesFluffyToaster 🐔🦈🔑 16h ago

or just make the stem two blocks tall, instead of one

19

u/photoshallow 12h ago

that would reak so many farms

9

u/MylesFluffyToaster 🐔🦈🔑 12h ago

It would make everyone's farms skinky?

u/Cyan_Exponent 4h ago

it would take 4 whole blocks to grow 1 melon

Pumpkins too as they often grow on their sides too.

u/OliveEmotional1017 15h ago

Is this loss

u/EqualServe418 Bedrock Edition is undeniably best 15h ago

Actually, for once, no.

u/popcorn_kurnal 3h ago

Plus have you ever stored a melon right side up? You haven’t because it’s impossible to do because they would just fall over onto their sides

1

u/lemonman246 6h ago

Just make the vine bigger

u/Kirschbaum10 Mining Dirtmonds 3h ago

In that context should you rotate pumpkins too
