What is Melon in Minecraft?

Melons are naturally generated in jungle biomes, villages, and woodland mansions. When you break a melon you will receive melon slices. Once eaten, melon slices will give you melon seeds that can be then planted in farmland blocks in order to grow new melons. You can make melons by filling up the 3×3 crafting grid with 9 melon slices.

When put in a composter melons have a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1, so it is more efficient to use melon slices instead of whole melons.
