How to grow melons and pumpkins. I m one of those weird people who are rare mix of people who like outdoors and building stuff and who stay inside reading or playing video games. Pumpkin and melon seeds can both be found in minecarts with chests inside abandoned mineshafts and in chests in dungeons. They require a light level of 9 or higher to grow.

To grow a melon or pumpkin you first need to plant the respective seeds on farmland. A small sapling will be placed which will grow into either a pumpkin or melon stalk over time depending on which seed you planted. If you do have a whole pumpkin or melon but no seeds simply place the pumpkin in a crafting grid which yields 4 seeds or alternatively place the pumpkin somewhere and use shears on it. Pumpkin stems take around 10 to 30 minutes to fully develop.

This process can be skipped by using bone meal on the seeds. Bone meal can be used on pumpkin stems to become fully grown but this does not produce a pumpkin immediately.
