Indeed the only trouble with melons is getting their seeds in the first place, which requires looting abandoned mine shaft chests. Below, the necessary steps for creating an automatic harvester to get you started on your own automatic melon farm. Now all you need to do is sit back and let the melon crop do the work for you. You can survive on melon alone with the press of a button. As long as your redstone is wired up to repeaters you can make your melon farm as big as you want.

No melons dont need to be on farmland but they wont get the speed bonus from water that hey normall would. Step 1 Dig an Irrigation Trench. Usually, you will not see Void when you place the Redstone Torches.
The only reason you see it in the screenshot above is that the farm in this guide is being built on a Superflat world, so there is limited space available. When facing the hole from the Chest, you want to place two hoppers in front of the chests. Then, walk over two blocks and dig a hole across the bottom of the farm. You may place the Redstone Torches however you please, so long as they're placed on the bottom layer in this hole. If you need help, follow the image above. Once you've placed the Redstone Torches, cover them up with blocks so the hole is even.
At this point, you will be adding the rails for the Minecart to ride and collect any loose melons or pumpkins. Follow the outline in the image above. Above the blocks with Redstone Torches underneath, you will place Powered Rails. This makes the Hopper Minecart continue to go around and collect Melon Slices and Pumpkins and drop them off in the Hoppers when it rolls over them.
This step is crucial but easy. Cover the rails entirely with Dirt. Leave a hole in the middle of the main square, and place the Slab you have at the bottom half of that hole. Then, fill the top half with water. Follow the image above for guidance. Now that your collection system is finished, you need to start building the farm.
Using your hoe, till the Dirt blocks in the checkerboard pattern shown above. Directly above the water and slab block, place the Glowstone. This will be a light source for your melons to continue to grow at night. If you don't know where to start, this step is easiest to follow if you start from the Glowstone block.
In every direction, skip a block and till the next block. Once you have finished tilling, place a melon or pumpkin seed in every piece of tilled land. These next to steps are a bit tricky, as you have to place them a certain way to make sure the Pistons are oriented correctly.
You need to place a piston above every block that is not tilled and planted. To do this, you must build a temporary ceiling above the farm three blocks above the tilled ground. Note: Build this canopy three blocks above the ground itself, not the plants or Glowstone. After you do this, it's time to place the Pistons. You must crouch and slowly approach each piece of dirt you wish to place a Piston.
You must face up at the bottom of the Dirt block, aim your crosshair at the corner closest to you, then place the Piston. The image above shows you exactly how to do this. Once you have finished, your farm should look like the image shown above. It will be a checkerboard pattern of Piston blocks, but opposite placement of the plants. These Pistons will smash the pumpkins and melons when they grow onto the block beneath them.
This part is also tricky and must be followed precisely for the Observers to be oriented correctly. In between every Piston is an empty space above the tilled Dirt. From above the farm, look down between the Pistons at the plants below. Move your crosshair to be on the top of the hitbox of the plant. Place the Observer.
Use the image above as an example of where your crosshair should be.
