'''Melon seeds'''{{fn|Also known as '''watermelon seeds''' in [[Minecraft:Language#Differences between English variants|New Zealand English]].}} are items obtained from [[Minecraft:melon slice]]s that can be used to grow melon stems.

'''Melon stems''' are plants grown on [[Minecraft:farmland]] that, over time, grow [[Minecraft:melon]]s on dirt, mud and moss blocks adjacent to them.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
{{Breaking row|Melon Stem, Attached Melon Stem|link=none|horizontal=1}}

When broken, a melon stem drops 0–3 melon seeds. The chance for melon seeds to drop increases with the stem's age.

=== Natural generation ===
Melon stems generate naturally in stem farm rooms inside [[Minecraft:woodland mansion]]s.

Melon stems generate in 20% of the farm plots in [[Minecraft:savanna]] [[Minecraft:village]]s, and 10% of the farm plots in [[Minecraft:desert]] villages.

=== Generated loot ===
{{LootChestItem|melon-seeds}}

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|Melon Slice
|Output= Melon Seeds
|type= Material
}}

=== Trading ===
[[Minecraft:Wandering trader]]s may sell melon seeds for 1 [[Minecraft:emerald]].
{{Trade sources}}

=== Mob loot ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, [[Minecraft:wandering traders]] have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of [[Minecraft:Looting]]) to drop 1 melon seeds when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an [[Minecraft:emerald]].

== Usage ==
=== Farming ===
{{see also|Tutorial:Pumpkin and Melon farming}}
Melon seeds can be planted only on [[Minecraft:farmland]], as stems. Melons need a [[Minecraft:Light|light level]] of 9 or above to grow (in Bedrock Edition it needs an [[Minecraft:Light#Internal light level|internal light level]] of 9). Over time, a stem grows through 8 stages and, at its final growth stage, produces [[Minecraft:melon]]s on any adjacent [[Minecraft:dirt]], [[Minecraft:coarse dirt]], [[Minecraft:rooted dirt]], [[Minecraft:grass block]], [[Minecraft:farmland]], [[Minecraft:podzol]], [[Minecraft:mycelium]], [[Minecraft:moss block]], [[Minecraft:pale moss block]], [[Minecraft:mud]] or [[Minecraft:muddy mangrove roots]]. If a melon is already occupying a spot adjacent to a stem it does not grow more melons until the melon is removed. A single stem can grow an unlimited number of melons. Melon seeds are affected by [[Minecraft:bone meal]] only with respect to stem growth; bone meal does not help produce the actual melons.

=== Breeding ===
Like other seeds, melon seeds can be used to breed [[Minecraft:chicken]]s, lead chickens around, and make baby chickens grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.

=== Taming ===
Like other seeds, melon seeds can be used to tame [[Minecraft:parrot]]s.

=== Composting ===
Placing melon seeds into a [[Minecraft:composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

== Melon stem ==
A '''melon stem''' is the block that is planted on [[Minecraft:farmland]] when melon seeds are used on it. It starts underground, and rises up as the plant grows. The stem is colored green when young, and then yellow once fully grown.

The stem curves once a melon has grown from it. A fully-grown single stem connects to any [[Minecraft:melon]] in an adjacent square, thus there are 5 possible appearances to a stem. If there are multiple melons it can connect to, it favors the east, then west, north, and south. When the melon is removed, the stem returns to its straight shape.
