A melon[a] is a fruit block that grows from a fully-grown melon stem, which in turn is grown from melon seeds.

Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

A melon drops 3–7 melon slices when broken by hand, using tools, or pushing with a piston. Silk Touch causes the block itself to drop. Fortune increases the maximum number of melon slices dropped, increasing the average yield to 6.4314 with Fortune III. The actual amount is capped at 9, so Fortune III simply increases the chance of getting 9 slices, which is sufficient to craft the melon again from the slices.

  1. ↑ These durations ignore any other influential factors (e.g., Mining Fatigue) and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking Β§ Speed.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

Melons are naturally generated in jungle biomes, as a pile (and in some farms) in savanna villages and inside tillage rooms of woodland mansions. Melons also generate in abandoned camps in bamboo jungles.​[upcoming: Third Drop 2026]

Mob loot

[edit | edit source]

An enderman holding a melon drops the block upon death.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Farming

[edit | edit source]

Melon seeds can be planted, placing a small stem that grows over time. Once the stem reaches maturity, it attempts to generate a melon block in one of the four immediately adjacent blocks; however, this attempt may fail if the chosen adjacent block is not empty or the block beneath is not an appropriate block (dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, grass block, farmland, podzol, mycelium, moss block, pale moss block, mud or muddy mangrove roots). Melons take 10 to 30 minutes to grow, which is equal to 0.5 to 1.5 times the length of a daylight cycle. Once a stem has produced a melon, that stem does not produce any further melons until the existing melon is harvested. Melon stems connect only to the melons they produce. For example, if stem A generates a melon adjacent to stem B, stem B does not connect and can still produce another melon. Similarly, if a melon is placed adjacent to stem B, stem B would still be able to produce another melon. The same principle applies for pumpkins. Melons require a light level of 9 or higher to grow.

Composting

[edit | edit source]

Placing a melon into a composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1, but it is more efficient to compost melon slices. Composted melon blocks produce about 7 times less bone meal than the melon slices needed to craft them, and about 4 times less than the melon slices that could be obtained by breaking them.
