About Melon
The Melon is a solid block that grows as a fruit from melon stems on farmland. It is mostly useful for the melon slices it drops when broken, which you can eat or turn into melon seeds for more plants.
Key facts:
- Breaking a melon without Silk Touch drops several melon slices.
- With Silk Touch, you can pick up the block itself.
- Nine melon slices can be crafted back into one melon block.
- Melons grow naturally in jungle biomes and can be farmed from seeds.
How to get Melon
You can find fully grown melon blocks growing wild in jungle biomes, and sometimes in village farms. To collect the block itself, break it with a Silk Touch tool, otherwise it drops melon slices instead. You can also craft a melon block from nine melon slices, or grow your own by planting melon seeds on farmland. The stem needs an adjacent empty block to place a melon.
