Melon Seeds

Over time, Melon Seeds grow into a stem and produce a Melon on any adjacent Farmland block. If a melon is already occupying an adjacent farmland spot, the stem will not grow any more melons until the melon is removed. A single stem can grow an unlimited number of melons.

Currently melon seeds can only be found in Abandoned Mine Shaft Chests It can also be obtained by putting a melon slice into the crafting grid.

Melon seeds take a longer time to grow than other crops, and breaking a melon block yields 3-7 melon slices which can be used as a reliable food source.
