Minecraft melon farm

This is a tutorial on how to farm pumpkins and melons, both manually and automatically. For other types of farming see Farming.

Growth mechanics[]

Melons and pumpkins use essentially the same mechanics for growth and can be easily farmed with the same techniques.

Once the plants are mature, they provide a steady supply of fruit for your needs. Surprisingly, water is not needed to grow pumpkins or melons. When planted, they create a stalk that starts out short, but grows and becomes yellow as it matures.

Only mature stalks can grow pumpkins and melons.

To begin farming, seeds must first be found. You can either find seeds in chests or find whole melons or pumpkins and craft them into seeds.
