Melon
One harvested melon is an edible bag item that restores hunger. The current cookbook has no melon dish, so there is no hidden cooking recipe to unlock. Ranch chickens eat melon seeds.

Obtaining seeds#
Buy from the Farmer: Melon Seeds
Eligible natural hostile kills have a 3% seed roll shared uniformly across ten crops: 0.3% for this seed before eligibility and bag-space limits.
Planting & growth#
- In the city, till grass or dirt on a plot where you have permission. In seasonal wilds, place your own dirt first, then till it with a hoe; natural ground cannot be tilled. Protection and claim permissions still apply.
- Use the planting item; consumes one and requires a free crop position.
- Water within four blocks, at farmland level or one above, when you till makes wet farmland: 60 minutes to mature, versus 90 minutes dry.
- One bone meal adds 18 minutes of growth, not a fixed universal time reduction.
- Growth follows server time; you do not have to remain beside it.
Harvesting & replanting#
A mature harvest yields one produce item and removes the crop. An immature harvest returns one planting item instead. Replant for another cycle; a mature harvest does not automatically return extra seeds. The bag must have room.
Food & recipes#
Eating raw restores 6 hunger, with no health recovery or extra buff.
No current cooking recipe uses this crop.
