Watermelon

Watermelons are a type of fruit and are consumable Pre Hardmode healing items found in plant patches in the Purity. If dropped in the Corruption, they become Corruptmelons, if dropped in Crimson, they become Fleshmelons, and in the Hallow, they become Pixiemelons.

Watermelons normally heal 20 HP (prehardmode) or 40 HP (hardmode). Corrupt melons heal 40 HP (prehardmode) or 60 (hardmode), Crimson is the same amount, Pixiemelons heal 70 HP (prehardmode) or 150 (hardmode)

In order to obtain a Watermelon, you must first pick a watermelon plant from the purity (which will regrow a day later in which it was collected). Then, you must bring it to a water source so the melon becomes Fat Melon Plant. Then, the melon plant must be brought to a sawmill or a workbench, which turns the Fat Melon Plant into a Watermelon.

If you eat a Watermelon, you have a 10% chance to get Long Poisoning, which is a longer nonfatal poison with a health interval of 2 real seconds that lasts 7 ingame hours. You also gain Well Fed.

You can choose to roast a Watermelon by placing it in a furnace, which doubles the healing properties and only inflicts Potion Sickness for 15 secs instead of 60. It also eliminates only the chance of Long Poisoning and doubles Well Fed.

You can also freeze a Watermelon by placing it near any ice, cold water, or snow. This only halves the healing properties, but triples Well Fed statistics and eliminates both the chance and debuff of Long Poisoning.

You can also create a Fake Watermelon by applying Liquid Uranium onto it. To the creator of the fake watermelon, the display shows Fake Watermelon. However, to other players, it shows Watermelon. You cannot eat this, but other players and mobs can. It's purpose is bait for traps, and will attract mobs. If it is eaten by a mob, the mob will die and the fruit will stay. If eaten by a player, 300 health will be subtracted and the player will be inflicted with Poison, Confusion, Weak, and Chilled for 2 minutes.

Watermelon can be put on leaves to create Moldmelon, which if eaten, inflicts Obstructed for 1 minute, and Chilled for 2. Like Fake Melon, it cannot be eaten by the creator but appears to have purple lines going through it. These purple lines can only be seen by the creator. The Moldmelon's name to other players is Watermelon. Like Fake Melon, it's purpose is bait for traps or as one.

You can dye a watermelon. This is cosmetics only but has a 15% chance to inflict Poison for 1 second.
