It turns watermelons into a versatile element that shines in both mid-late game survival and creative building.<\/p>\n<p># Overview<br \/>\n## Revamped Edible Mechanics<br \/>\n> ###  Just Right-Click to Eat<br \/>\n> &#8211; Now, right-clicking on a watermelon block or a partially eaten watermelon block allows you to eat it directly.
