(Java parity) melon and pumpkin plant block updates

You cannot use observers to detect a block update on pumpkin and melon plants when a melon or pumpkin is produced, unlike Java, which makes using observers for melon farms much more difficult. It does detect an update for the different stages of the plant growing...do why not for when it actually produces a melon or pumpkin??

    Does it not detect when a melon or pumpkin grows into a spot? I know that the observers can detect the vine change when one is grown. To be more specific, when a melon or pumpkin grows the vine changes position to attach to the melon or pumpkin and the observer can detect that change

    Ule Tir, I think TheOther51 means it does not detect when the actual stem changes textures when the pumpkin/melon is produced. If this was fixed, then automatic pumpkin/melon farms will be smaller, more efficient, and make the designs interchangeable between Java and Bedrock. If this doesn't get fixed in Bedrock 1.15, I don't know what to do!
