Usage
Farming
Main article: Farming
The melon seed can be placed on farmland. If placed anywhere else, it will still be used up and instead of dropping it simply disappears. Like the pumpkin seed, when placed it will start to slowly grow, and once it has grown fully it has a chance of growing a melon block next to it. It's texture appears connected to the melon block, however, it does not connect to any other melon blocks not grown by it. If the melon block is broken then it will revert to the normal texture and has a chance to grow another one.
