About Melon Seeds

Melon seeds grow into melon stems when you plant them on farmland. Right-click farmland to place a seed. Once the stem matures, it grows a melon block on an adjacent dirt, grass, or farmland block, not on the stem itself.

Key facts:

  • The stem needs light and hydrated farmland to grow well.
  • Leave an open block beside each stem for melons to appear.
  • A healthy stem can keep producing melons repeatedly.

How to get Melon Seeds

You can craft one melon seed from one melon slice. The slice comes from breaking a mature melon block. You can also get seeds by breaking melon stems, including stems found in some village farms. For early game, melon seeds sometimes appear in dungeon and mineshaft chests.
