LEGO Minecraft set 21138, “The Melon Farm”, depicts a small melon farm in the block based style of the game. Released in 2018, it belongs to the Minecraft theme and contains 69 pieces for a compact farming scene.
“The Melon Farm” represents a simple Minecraft activity in LEGO form: growing crops in a small farm setting. Rather than presenting a large structure, the set focuses on a recognizable agricultural scene. Within the Minecraft theme, it sits among the smaller location based models that capture a specific part of the game world.
The set includes 69 pieces and 3 figures: Steve, Creeper and Villager, Reddish Brown. This mix brings together the player character, a hostile mob and a villager, giving the scene more play value than a field alone. The build follows the theme’s square visual language, using a compact layout suited to a small farm display or a quick play setup.
It is suited to builders who want a modest Minecraft scene for play, display or expansion. On a shelf, it reads as a clear farm vignette. In a larger layout, it can serve as an agricultural area beside other Minecraft environments. For collectors, it is a small but specific representation of farming within the theme.
