    has anyone else noticed that melons are extremely slow to break now? even with an eff v axe. anyone know if this is from the 1.4.6 update or server side?

    1.4.6 made it so that efficiency only works on blocks that the tool works best on. this also means that an efficiency pick won't work on dirt or wood. the tool for melons is sward instead of the axe

    yeah this update might warrant another price tweak for melons. has anyone checked to see if pumpkins break the same speed?

    Andrew has disabled it, so that it is Unobtainable, much like all other eff 5's, sharp 5's power 5's, etc.

    You can't combine eff book or ST book with a sword, PERIOD. It is something that can't be done with minecraft unless you are in creative mode, in which case it does work. You still can combine 2 eff 4 tools to get eff 5. I did one yesterday.

    I don't think Andrew disabled it.

    For now anyways. I heard that this may be possible in 1.5
