The Melon is an item that players make by crafting Melon Slices together. Like many common items, it stacks up to 64 in a single inventory slot, which makes it easy to carry in bulk.
Players can place a Melon to set down a block of the same name. This lets them build with it or keep it as a compact way to store their slices.
