Talk:Melon Seeds

Can someone rename this to "Melon (Seed)", Melon to "Melon (Block)", and Melon Slice to "Melon (Slice)"? Afterwards, create a page named "Melon (Disambiguation)" which links to these 3 new pages? Cool12309(T 03:51, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Should have a block template, not food template
I am going to change it right now. If you want to change it back, just tell me.

"Destroying a fully grown melon will yield two melon seeds"
This is very unclear. Is this referring to the melon block, the seed, the stalk? Please clarify if anyone can - I haven't seen any dropped seeds from a stalk, though I don't know that it was fully grown (it had produced melon blocks).

"Seeds pop out or die if the lighting is deficient"
Can anyone confirm this? - Charlie Brown 04:46, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes, they do. Not just melon seeds, but pumpkin seeds and wheat seeds. I was building a farming complex and some seeds just wouldn't stay in. I added more torches and they all stayed. 167.206.233.254 17:03, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

"Any adjacent Farmland block"
Should this be clarified as to whether Melons can grow diagonally? Just to the four cardinal sides? Perhaps a farming illustration could be useful.

Melons produced on dirt/grass
Pretty sure that melons dont spawn on the dirt/grass, but must spawn on farmland. or maybe the spawn rate is drastically reduced? My reasoning: On my vanilla server, I got melons spawning nearly every 4-8 minutes. My friend on the server had the melon plants with dirt beside it, and they wouldnt spawn in an hour, with light and water. All my melon plants, and my friends, were completely grown, and just had to spawn melons.

Can someone verify whether the melons do spawn on dirt/grass?? _harishimomo (dont know how to sign hahaha)


 * I've tested it, and they can spawn of dirt or grass as of one of the weekly updates, (not sure which one, but someone said the second.) You need to download the weeklies specifically (minecraft won't prompt you) as they are really a testing thing, (that's why it lists both on the page).

Can a stem grow several melons at once?
I've been wondering, can 1 melon stem grow melons to all 4 sides at the same time? Or is it limited to growing 1, and then stopping? It's really been bothering me, since i want to make a melon farm but don't know what the optimal design would be. Davidies 16:45, 29 September 2012 (UTC)Davidies
 * Click Melon_(Block). Next time, post questions on the FORUMS. The wiki is not a place to ask questions or discuss anything other than editing pages. -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  16:50, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
