What is Melon Slice in Minecraft?
A melon slice is a refreshing food item in Minecraft. While a single slice does not restore a lot of hunger, it is very easy to farm in massive quantities, making it a reliable and convenient snack. Melons grow quickly and each block gives you multiple slices, so you can easily get stacks and stacks of them. The most important role of a melon slice, however, is as a key ingredient for potion brewing. It is used to craft one of the most useful potion ingredients in the game. So, whether you need a quick bite to eat or are preparing for some advanced alchemy, the humble melon slice is a very useful item to have.
How to get Melon Slice in Minecraft
The main way to get a melon slice is by breaking a melon block. You can find melon blocks growing on the ground in jungle biomes and sometimes in savanna villages. Breaking a melon block with any tool or your hand will drop three to seven melon slices. The best way to get a steady supply is to start a farm. You can get melon seeds by finding them in chests in abandoned mineshafts or by crafting them from a melon slice. Plant the seeds on farmland, and they will grow a stem. Once the stem is fully grown, it will start producing melon blocks next to it. You can also buy melon slices from a journeyman level farmer villager.
How to use Melon Slice in Minecraft
You can eat a melon slice to restore two hunger points, which is one food icon. It is a quick snack, but not very filling. Its most important use is in crafting. You can combine nine melon slices in a 3x3 grid to craft a full melon block. You can also craft a single melon slice into one melon seed. The most vital use is to craft a Glistering Melon Slice. By surrounding one melon slice with eight gold nuggets, you create this shiny item, which is the main ingredient for brewing Potions of Healing. You can also trade melon slices to farmer villagers for emeralds, and they are a great item for filling up your composter to make bone meal.
