FAQ
What does breaking a Melon Stem drop?
0 to 3 melon seeds; the chance of getting seeds increases as the stem's growth stage advances.
Does a Melon Stem need a specific tool?
No, it breaks instantly with any tool or by hand since its hardness is 0.
How does a Melon Stem produce melons?
Once fully grown, it randomly generates a melon block on an adjacent dirt, grass, mud, or moss block rather than growing further itself.
Can one stem grow multiple melons?
Yes, a single fully-grown stem can keep producing new melon blocks indefinitely as long as there is open space beside it.
