2. Add Items to make a Block of Melon
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a block of melon, place 9 melon slices in the 3×3 crafting grid.
When making a block of melon, it is important that the melon slices are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. There should be 3 melon slices in the first row, 3 melon slices in the second row, and 3 melon slices in the third row. This should fill all of the boxes in the crafting grid. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a block of melon.
Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the melon block will appear in the box to the right.
3. Move the Block of Melon to Inventory
Once you have crafted melon, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
