Melon Stems
Melon stems create melon seeds when destroyed. Whenever you find a wild patch of watermelons, look for an upright stem in an adjacent block. Destroying the stem (especially when it’s already attached to a watermelon) will generate 1-3 stacks of seeds. Melon stems actually go through 8 total stages of growth, even if they look identical to fully-grown stems. If your destroyed stem doesn’t produce any melon seeds, it might’ve been too young.
Jungle Biomes
Find melons in jungle biomes and turn them into seeds. Watermelons grow naturally in jungle biomes—simply hit the melon block until it breaks into 3-7 melon slices. Place one of these melon slices in the center of a crafting table to receive 1 stack of melon seeds in return. Not sure where the nearest jungle biome is in your game? Enter your game’s seed number on this site to get a better look at your game’s map. Find your game’s seed number in your game’s settings.
Savanna Villages
Savanna villagers sometimes grow melons in their villages. Wander through the village and try to spot any watermelons. If you do, simply destroy them and place the produced melon slices in the center slot of your crafting table. This will create multiple stacks of melon seeds.
Wandering Traders
Some traders offer melon seeds for the price of 1 emerald. Occasionally, a wandering trader (dressed in blue robes) and his llama will appear nearby, offering limited wares in exchange for emeralds. Sometimes, this trader offers a stack of melon seeds in exchange for 1 emerald. You can trade for melon seeds up to 12 times before the option goes away. It’s possible to get emeralds by trading with regular villagers, or by mining emerald ore with a weapon that’s at least iron-level strength.
Woodland Mansions
Woodland mansions sometimes spawn melon seeds in chests. In any given chest within a woodland mansion, there’s an almost 20% chance that you’ll find 2-4 stacks of melon seeds. By those odds, you have a good chance of finding some melon seeds after exploring 5-6 chests. Not sure where your nearest woodland mansion is? Open up the chat bar and type in one of the following codes to find the coordinates (compared to your current in-game location): Bedrock: /locate structure mansion true Java: /locate structure mansion
Abandoned Mineshaft
Mineshaft chests have a 27.3% chance of spawning melon seeds. Mineshafts typically spawn underground (unless you’re in a badlands biome, where they can spawn above ground), and are filled with wooden platforms, broken-up railways, and mining carts with chests inside (where you’ll find the melon seeds). Not sure where the nearest mineshaft is to your location? Type your seed number in on this site.
Dungeons
Dungeons (or monster rooms) have chests that may contain melon seeds. These rooms are typically found close to caves, ravines, and similar areas, and are known for having monster spawners (a black cage-like object that allows certain monsters to spawn nearby). There’s only an 18.5% chance of finding melon seeds in the chests though, so your exploring can be hit or miss.
Bonus Chests (Bedrock Only)
Bonus chests can contain melon seeds at the very beginning of the game. Minecraft allows you to toggle a “Bonus Chest” when you first spawn into your new Minecraft world. This chest is filled with basic items that help kickstart your adventure, like wooden tools, food, and the like. In Bedrock specifically, there’s a 1 in 3 chance that melon seeds will appear in this starter chest. Follow these instructions to equip a bonus chest for your next game: Java: Choose “ON” for the “Bonus Chest” option in “More World Settings…” Bedrock: Choose “ON” for the “Bonus Chest” option in “Game Settings”
