Better Glistering Melons

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!
