The Iron Watermelon was an entity added to prevent players from going out of bounds, as bloxd.io worlds were not yet infinite.
It was first seen by the user "Jokdok," a member of the Bloxd.io Discord Server.
Creation of the Bloxd.io Universe[]
According to Arthur, owner of Bloxd.io, the Bloxd universe was created from the Potato Expansion (basically the Bloxd version of the Big Bang). This confirms that potatoes played an important role in the creation of the Bloxd Universe. The Bloxd Planet's moon exploded 1 billion years ago. Chunks of the Moon flew onto the planet, therefore explaining why there are moonstones on the Bloxd Planet and why we can't see the moon. It is speculated that Iron Watermelon has inflicted magic on moonstones, which makes you able to teleport by using them (moonstone orbs) and also store items in the same realm at any point in time and anywhere (moonstone chests).
The Iron Watermelon Legends[]
Before the block update in Bloxd.io, the Bloxd Planet did not have infinite terrain generation. Arthur added Iron Watermelon to jump-scare and tell players "Not to go far." It is said that if players go more than 6,000 blocks away from spawn, they will get disconnected or be jump-scared by Iron Watermelon. This haunted the Bloxd.io community, so after the block updates, Arthur removed it from the game.
Loading Screen Messages[]
There is a loading message in Bloxd.io that reads, "Ever seen a loading screen with a jump scare?" This message refers to the Iron Watermelon due to its ability to jump-scare players.
There is also loading message in Bloxd.io that reads in Bloxd.io that reads, "I heard there are secret mobs if you build high enough." This also refers to Iron Watermelon because if you go more than 6,000 blocks away from spawn in any direction, including building up, you will meet Iron Watermelon.
Usage[]
During the Halloween Update in 2023 (unofficial name), Arthur said that there would be an easter egg in the game. The easter egg turned out to be a block called Iron Watermelon, which is only obtainable by farming Watermelons.
As forementioned, It is calculated that there is a 0.01% (1 in 10000) chance of a Watermelon stem growing an Iron Watermelon. This block can be only mined with a pickaxe; otherwise, it drops nothing. The Iron Watermelon is not craftable but can be turned into 128 Iron Bars. The Iron Watermelon is a grand trophy, and it can be used as an Iron farm as long as you have an extremely efficient farm.
