Your melons will also need a light level of 9 in order to generate. Keep some torches nearby your plants to ensure that they can still grow even at night or underground. Torches provide a light level of 14, decreasing by 1 every block away from the torch. Once your melons have grown, you can break the melon to obtain melon slices.
These slices can be used to make more melon seeds. Each melon slice will provide one melon seed for you to make another plant with. After just one melon grows, you can create a melon farm with the resulting seeds. It is worth noting that if you break the melon with a silk touch enchanted tool, you will obtain the melon block itself rather than slices. That is all you need to do to grow melons in Minecraft. There are a few quirks about melons that the game checks for before growing melons.
Firstly, ensure that the melon stem has an open space adjacent to the stem. If there are crop seeds planted right next to the stem or if the block adjacent to the melon stem is not dirt, coarse dirt, grass, or farmland, the melon will not grow. Also, ensure that the light level is high enough, melons need a light level of 9 to generate. If all of these conditions are met, be patient, sometimes melons take up to 30 minutes to grow.
Depending on whether or not the melon's internal timer fails to grow due to surrounding blocks, melons take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes to grow. To ensure that the melons grow as fast as possible, you can leave the four spaces around the melon stem open to ensure that the melons grow as fast as possible. Melons do not need specifically sunlight to grow in Minecraft. They require a light level of 9 , so you can grow melons underground without any access to the sky as long as you keep the melon plant well lit.
Consider placing glowstone nearby for the brightest possible light levels, or place many different light-emitting blocks to ensure you meet the 9 light level quota. Congratulations, you now know how to farm melons in Minecraft. These crops can be finicky to deal with and have some special rules to remember, but they provide a lot of food at once and can even be used as decoration.
Melons can grow exponentially and provide entire double chests of food quickly. Once you have obtained a melon seed, consider planting it just for the capability of expanding later.
While melon slices are not high in saturation or hunger values, it is cheap and you can grow astounding amounts of melons quickly. New User posted their first comment. Log in. Required Materials to Grow Melons in Minecraft? Melon Seeds Hoe any type Water Bucket Bone meal Optional If you are interested in growing melons, you will need to locate some melon seeds. You can use the hoe by using the following controls on your game controller:. After you have used the hoe and removed the topsoil from the farmland, you'll notice the blocks have turned brown.
They are now ready for planting. Select the melon seeds in your Hotbar and plant them onto the blocks of soil that you previously used your hoe on. Plant your melon seeds using the following controls on your game controller:. Once you have planted your melon seeds, you'll begin to see them grow. The number of spots fruits may spawn on has an impact on the productivity as well. Your stems will only produce at maximum speed if a fruit can spawn on all four adjacent blocks.
That's because minecraft randomly picks one spot, and if it doesn't qualify, the whole spawning process will be skipped, instead of choosing a different spot. Based on the first half of this tutorial, you should consider the following things when building a melon or pumpkin farm:. To keep fruits from spawning on a specific farmland block and thus turning it to dirt, you can place wheat or flowers on top of them.
After a harvest, it may also be worthwhile to retill the dirt on which the fruit has spawned. You may be able to improve your current farm by applying the criteria mentioned above.
For example, if there's dry farmland in your farm, hydrate it. If there are unused blocks around your stems, put more farmland there. Here's a farm I found on YouTube I removed the pistons at the right half :. This semi- automatic farm works like that: whenever you activate the lever at the front, some underground sticky pistons two blocks below the melons push all melons up, before they are crushed by the glass blocks at the top. The glass blocks also push the spawned items into the water stream in the center.
We can easily improve the efficiency of this farm by placing more farmland blocks around the stems. Also, the glass blocks used to crush the melons can be replaced with glowstone, which will provide sufficient lighting at all times and prevent hostile mobs from spawning:.
As you can see, all melon stems are now surrounded by farmland. Only the rows where the melons are supposed to spawn are left out. Flowers are used to prevent melons from spawning.
So instead of having 2 adjacent farmland blocks, every stem now has 5 such neighbors 6 RT vs 4 RT. The first and last stem of each row even went from 1 adjacent farmland block to 6 6 RT vs 3 RT.
First of all, the perfect layout depends on whether you want the fruits to spawn as fast as possible requires frequent harvests or if you just want the farm to spawn as much fruit as possible over a long period of time infrequent harvests. Moreover, it's very hard to predict how efficient a specific layout turns out.
Anyway, to not leave you hanging, I made a simulation testing several flat layouts. There are some restrictions though: first, I used a fixed size of 21x21 blocks. Second, I didn't include water blocks which are needed to hydrate the farmland.
