A Melon Golem is a variant of a snow golem with a melon as the head as opposed to a carved pumpkin, found only in Minecraft Earth.
Obtaining
Melon golems are found in grass and pond tappables with an uncommon rarity and a chance of 0.9 from grass tappables, and 0.8 from pond. They can not be created by placing a full melon on top of two vertically stacked snow blocks, differing from their snow golem counterpart.
Behavior
Melon golems function nearly the same as snow golems by placing snow wherever they walk and attacking hostile mobs with projectiles. In fact, there some differences between the two are that the melon golem has face animations, a different head which cannot be snipped off with shears, and melon seed projectiles instead of snowballs. Additionally, they shoot in a burst of 4 melon seed projectiles. They also move by hopping around. They are not hostile towards tropical slimes.
Melon seed projectile
Melon golems shoot melon seed projectile at mobs. The entity takes 20
× 10 of projectile damage upon hit.

The base color comes first, and if the pattern color is different, it comes after that. Lastly, the fish bucket is given a name according to the shape and pattern of the fish:
Some tropical fish don't follow the normal naming system, and instead, reference real-life fish species. Apart from these names, these types of fish aren't different from regular tropical fish in terms of design or behavior. These varieties are:
