In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make melon seeds, place 1 melon slice in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When making melon seeds, it is important that the melon slice is placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 melon slice placed in the first box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for melon seeds.
