Melons Or Pumpkins?

If you have an eff5 sword, melons. If you don't have an eff5 sword, pumpkins. In a lag free environment you can harvest a stack of pumpkins with an eff5 axe in about 6secs. So that would be 64pumpkins/stack x 10stack/min x 60min/hr x .60 = $23040/hr.

 

You cannot collect a stack of pumpkins in 6 secs, it is just impossible. Pumpkins only make about 17k an hour now.

 

Mhm... This looks like my Fishing or farming thread. But I melon farm.

 

I'd love to farm melons because of the price but they are too laggy now, plus they break so slow.

 

I timed asabrown and he collected a stack of pumpkins in 6 seconds by breaking two rows while sprinting. I realize this is a "best case" time and there any number of things that could slow one down. 17k an hour is about a stack every 8secs which is not that far off from 6secs/stack.

 

Didn't mean to double post but BTW, why are pumpkins being outvoted?

 

I made more off an inventory of carrots than I did an inventory of pumpkins. I'm off melons until I get a silk touch sword. The other farming crops need some attention, too.

 

If I have to choose between these two, I'll go melons every time. Recently though, I've been hitting the wheat pretty hard.

 

Yup, i can harvest a stack in 6 secs while sprinting and hitting both rows a the same time

 

Meloons.

 

I'm a master pumpkin farmer. I won't get a diamond sword until the nether star price goes down. 100$ each=100k.
