Template:For Template:Infobox block A melonTemplate:Fn is a fruit block that grows from a fully-grown melon stem, which in turn is grown from Minecraft:melon seeds.
Obtaining
Breaking
Template:See also A melon drops 3–7 Minecraft:melon slices when broken by hand, using tools, or pushing with a Minecraft:piston. Minecraft:Silk Touch causes the block itself to drop. Minecraft:Fortune increases the maximum number of melon slices dropped, increasing the average yield to 6.4314 with Fortune III. To prevent duplication of melons, the actual amount is capped at 9, so Fortune III simply increases the chance of getting 9 slices, which is sufficient to craft the melon again from the slices. Template:Breaking row
Natural generation
Melons are naturally generated in Minecraft:jungle biomes, as a Minecraft:pile (and in some farms) in savanna Minecraft:villages and inside tillage rooms of Minecraft:woodland mansions. Melons also generate in Minecraft:abandoned camps in bamboo jungles.Template:Upcoming
Mob loot
An Minecraft:enderman holding a melon drops the block upon death.
Crafting
Usage
Farming
Minecraft:Melon seeds can be planted, placing a small stem that grows over time. Once the stem reaches maturity, it attempts to generate a melon block in one of the four immediately adjacent blocks; however, this attempt may fail if the chosen adjacent block is not empty or the block beneath is not an appropriate block (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). Melons take 10 to 30 minutes to grow, which is equal to 0.5 to 1.5 times the length of a Minecraft:daylight cycle. Once a stem has produced a melon, that stem does not produce any further melons until the existing melon is harvested. Melon stems connect only to the melons they produce. For example, if stem A generates a melon adjacent to stem B, stem B does not connect and can still produce another melon. Similarly, if a melon is placed adjacent to stem B, stem B would still be able to produce another melon. The same principle applies for Minecraft:pumpkins. Melons require a light level of 9 or higher to grow.
Trading
Composting
Placing a melon into a Minecraft:composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1, but it is more efficient to compost melon slices. Composted melon blocks produce about 7 times less Minecraft:bone meal than the melon slices needed to craft them, and about 4 times less than the melon slices that could be obtained by breaking them.
