Minecraft Name: Captain_Death_33 Suggestion: Make the Melon Sword have Eff7 Reason: The melon sword currently seem slow at eff5, and boosting it up might encourage more people to use it. This would create more diversity in money making as it seems everyone just mines with a star pick. Any Other Information: If needed melon prices might have to go down due to the extra speed. Link To This Plugin/Is this a custom addition?: nope
What.. why would it make any difference if you just lower the price of melons accordingly? I really don't see the point here. There's no difference between eff7 and lower prices or eff5 and current prices.
I think I can see the point there... it may not actually make more money, but it feels that way. Speaking from personal experience, I couldn't stand mining with a normal eff5 pickaxe because it's so slow. For example, I prefer stone mining over obsidian farming even though obsidian is worth as much as 25 stone blocks just because it feels faster. I'll admit, though, that it wouldn't be worth organizing a major exchange of all existing melon swords. This has been done recently (-> star rods), but voluntarily doing that just to change the /worth isn't an efficient use of time.
I agree with @314 here, but maybe we could find a way for the eff5 melon sword to have $2 melons, and the eff7 melon sword have a lower price
So you just want the be able to mine the melons faster but make the same ammount of money... -1 literally useless
Actually, it's worse than useless. The whole appeal of melon farming is that it takes next to zero effort. With this, you'd need a larger farm (because you are farming faster) and you'd need to farm the same way as pumpkins.
@bobbysix6 I am not suggesting mining melons faster and at the same price. I am suggesting that the melon swords can be faster and have lower melon prices
I'm pretty sure he meant same amount of money per hour, not per melon. So he is correct in saying that this suggestion is useless.
@DD71 The point of this suggestion is just to make it more convenient not to boost economy or something.
But this suggestion makes it less convenient... Which part of my two posts makes you believe that I think that the suggestion is to "boost economy or something"? The suggestion is quite clear to everyone and that is why everyone is saying it is useless. You say that the reason for your suggestion is that it would bring more diversity to money making methods. The problem is that it won't because nothing is changing except that it is a little bit less convenient to farm melons. If your real suggestion is to add diversity to money making methods, I would suggest something like new minigames.
How is this more convienent? It seems like it would make melon farming require fly/speed for maximum money, meaning it gives melon farming a higher buy in.
There is a something that is faster for less money per crop.. it is called pumpkin farming. The melonsword is just called an axe. I can rename it for you if you want.
