Melon seeds^[a] are items obtained from melon slices that can be used to grow melon stems.

Melon stems are plants grown on farmland that, over time, grow melons on dirt, mud and moss blocks adjacent to them.

When broken, a melon stem drops 0–3 melon seeds. The chance for melon seeds to drop increases with the stem's age.

Melon stems generate naturally in stem farm rooms inside woodland mansions.

Melon stems generate in 20% of the farm plots in savanna villages, and 10% of the farm plots in desert villages.

Wandering traders may sell melon seeds for 1 emerald.

In Bedrock Edition, wandering traders have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of Looting) to drop 1 melon seeds when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an emerald.

Melon seeds can be planted only on farmland, as stems. Melons need a light level of 9 or above to grow (in Bedrock Edition it needs an internal light level of 9). Over time, a stem grows through 8 stages and, at its final growth stage, produces melons on any adjacent dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, grass block, farmland, podzol, mycelium, moss block, pale moss block, mud or muddy mangrove roots. If a melon is already occupying a spot adjacent to a stem it does not grow more melons until the melon is removed. A single stem can grow an unlimited number of melons. Melon seeds are affected by bone meal only with respect to stem growth; bone meal does not help produce the actual melons.

Like other seeds, melon seeds can be used to breed chickens, lead chickens around, and make baby chickens grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.

Like other seeds, melon seeds can be used to tame parrots.

Placing melon seeds into a composter has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

A melon stem is the block that is planted on farmland when melon seeds are used on it. It starts underground, and rises up as the plant grows. The stem is colored green when young, and then yellow once fully grown.

The stem curves once a melon has grown from it. A fully-grown single stem connects to any melon in an adjacent square, thus there are 5 possible appearances to a stem. If there are multiple melons it can connect to, it favors the east, then west, north, and south. When the melon is removed, the stem returns to its straight shape.
