Take the 2-minute tour ×  I've been playing Minecraft with a
texture mod lately - I like it over "classic" minecraft on many
levels, but I find there's still aspects of it that bug me, like
this:  enter image description here  The sprouts of melon seeds
are invisible. (Here's a comparison with the default textures)
enter image description here  Where, exactly, are the various
stages of melon growth stored? Or, if there's not multiple
textures for melon sprouts, how does Minecraft go from the seed-
like stage to the fully grown texture? Is it just a matter of
making the melon sprout textures taller?  share|improve this

According to the wiki, the texture is offset underground then
extended up as the melon (or pumpkin) stem grows. It's just a
matter of making sure the stem texture is tall enough.
share|improve this answer Excellent! Your link pointed to
Pumpkins, but melons were directly below that on the page, so it
worked out all right in the end. –
