Melons are blocks that grow from planted melon seeds, which grow over time until they reach maturity, randomly spawning melon blocks on adjacent farmland (or dirt/grass). Destroying a melon yields 3-7 melon slices, and a maximum of nine with a Fortune tool. A melon slice can be consumed for
, or be crafted into a melon seed to be planted as a new stem.
Crafting
Melon blocks can be crafted out of 9 melon slices.

You cannot reverse this to craft melon slices from a melon block. You must place the melon block and then destroy it to get melon slices back again. Melon slices are wasted in this process, as breaking a melon block only yields a portion of the melon slices used to craft the block. It still may be done for the sake of space efficiency, as a full stack of melons breaks into an average of 320 slices yet only takes one inventory slot. This enables food for a long journey to be carried compactly.
Farming
Main Article: Tutorials/Pumpkin and Melon Farming
For other types of farming see Farming (disambiguation)
To start a Melon farm, one must first find Melon Seeds, which can be found in Abandoned Mine Shaft chests. You can also obtain Melon Slices (which can be crafted into melon seeds) from trading with villagers. Planting a Melon Seed places a small stem that will grow over time. Once the stem reaches maturity, the stem will spawn a Melon Block in one of the adjacent Dirt or Grass blocks every 1–30 minutes real-life time (0.05-1.5 Minecraft days) and all melon stems next to the new melon will visually connect to it. Once a stem has connected to a melon, that stem will not produce any further Melons until the existing Melon is harvested. Melons will revert farmland below them to dirt when they grow. Unlike pumpkins, melon stems do grow and produce in The End. For more details and farm layout suggestions, see the tutorial.
History
Melons were first revealed in an IGN interview with Notch.[1]

A '''tool''' is an [[item]] used by the [[player]] while held to perform actions faster and more efficiently, to gather materials not obtainable by hand, to gain information, or to perform completely new actions. With the exception of the [[clock]], [[compass]], empty [[bucket]], and [[lead]], tools do not stack in the inventory. Tools can be repaired; see [[Item repair]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
{{main|Drops#Mob drops|title1=Drops}}
Some tools can be obtained by killing mobs that carry the equipment.
=== Crafting ===
Most tools can be obtained through crafting.
{{:Crafting/Tools}}
=== Upgrading ===
[[Netherite]] tools can be obtained only through upgrading.

}}
== Usage ==
=== Best tools ===
{{main|Breaking#Best tools|title1=Breaking}}
Many blocks have a preferred tool to break them. Some blocks can be broken only with certain tools. The tool's material also affects how fast a block is mined. Materials from worst to best in terms of mining speed are wooden, stone, iron, diamond, netherite, gold.
=== Item durability ===
{{main|Durability}}
Different tools have different amounts of durability. Some uses require more durability to be used than others. A tool's durability is also affected by its material. Materials from worst to best in terms of durability are gold, wooden, stone, iron, diamond, netherite.
Some tools are not block-breaking tools: This includes bows, fishing rods, carrots on sticks, flint & steel, and buckets. Such tools are no better than bare fists at breaking blocks, but they do not take damage from doing so—they take damage from being used in their own intended manners.
=== Item enchantability ===
Materials from worst to best in terms of [[enchantability]] are stone, diamond, iron, wooden/netherite, gold.
=== Smelting ===
{{main|Smelting}}
Iron or golden tools can be smelted into [[nugget]]s.
{{Smelting|showname=1|head=1|Any iron tools|Iron Nugget|0,1}}
{{Smelting|showname=1|foot=1|Any golden tools|Gold Nugget|0,1}}

A '''beetroot''' is a food and [[dye]] ingredient.
== Obtaining ==
=== Farming ===
Beetroots are obtained from harvesting a fully grown [[beetroots|crop block]], which drops 1 beetroot and 1-4 seeds ({{frac|2|5|7}} seeds per plant harvested on average). Seed yield can be increased using a tool enchanted with [[Fortune]], with Fortune III harvesting an average of {{frac|5|3|7}} seeds per plant.
These crops can be found growing in [[village]]s or can be grown from planted [[beetroot seeds]].<!-- Do not add locations for finding seeds. Where to find seeds is described in the article about the seeds. -->
== Usage ==
=== Food ===
A beetroot can be eaten to restore {{hunger|1}} [[hunger]] and 1.2 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]]. Six beetroots can be crafted into [[beetroot soup]], which restores six times the hunger and saturation of a single beetroot.
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
=== Breeding ===
Beetroots can be used to [[breeding|breed]] [[pig]]s. Pigs also follow a player who is holding beetroot.
[[Villager]]s can pick up beetroot items to become willing, allowing them to breed. Villagers need 12 beetroots before they can breed.
=== Composting ===
Placing beetroot into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
=== Trading ===
Novice-level Farmer villagers have a 25%{{only|bedrock}} or 40%{{only|java}} chance to buy 15 beetroots for an emerald.

Trivia
- The Beta 1.8 Changelog had stated "Added Melons" twice.
- Any stem adjacent to a melon block will appear to connected to it, even if the melon was not grown from that stem.[3]
- On the Getsatisfaction.com complete ideas for the Ideas section, it was stated that Watermelons were to be implemented.[4]
- Despite the fact that the block and the items are called "Melon", "Melon Slice" and "Glistering Melon", they have the appearance of Watermelons and Watermelon Slices, like they were originally supposed to be named.
- When a melon block is pushed by a piston, it will break into melon slices.
- The block form is square, yet the slices are round.
