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 be found in Abandoned Mine Shaft Chests or 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.

A Melon Stem must have a Farmland block adjacent to it to produce a Melon (Block)

The Sacred Art of Melon Producing
The block beside the stem is where the melon is produced.

Breaking the melon to get the melon slices does not break the stem of the plant but the block where the melon has been broken must be re-tilled to produce another melon.

Bone meal does work on melon stems but does not create the melon.

Water increases the speed in which the melon seeds grow.

Must be grown in strong light.
