Melon

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

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.

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]
