Melon Seeds
minecraft:melon_seedsMelon seeds are obtained by breaking melon stems, crafting from melon slices, looting structure chests, or trading emeralds with a wandering trader. Planted on farmland, they grow through eight stages into a melon stem that eventually produces a melon block on an adjacent tilled or mud block. Beyond farming, the seeds can breed and lead chickens, tame parrots, and be used in composters as a low-yield compost material.
