}
A melon golem was a variant of a snow golem with a melon as the head as opposed to a carved pumpkin, found only in Minecraft Earth.
Behavior
Melon golems functioned nearly the same as snow golems by placing snow wherever they walked and attacking hostile mobs with projectiles. In fact, the only differences between the two are that the melon golem had face animations, a different head which wasn't able to be snipped off with shears, and it launched melon seed projectiles instead of snowballs at enemies. Additionally, they shot a burst of 4 melon seed projectiles when attacking. They also moved by hopping around. They weren't hostile toward tropical slimes.

}
Melon golems shot melon seed projectiles at mobs. The entity took 1HP
of projectile damage upon being hit.
Obtaining
Melon golems were found in grass and pond tappables with an uncommon rarity and a chance of 1.1% from grass tappables, and 1.8% from pond. They weren't able to be created by placing a full melon on top of two vertically stacked snow blocks, differing them from their snow golem counterparts.
Drops
When killed, melon golems dropped:
- 0-15
