Description
Melon Slice drops from a melon block when broken, yielding between three and seven slices per block depending on tool and fortune enchantment level. Nine slices crafted back together restore the full melon block, but doing so is rarely efficient since the block gives only a fixed number of slices regardless. Raw slices restore two hunger points and a small saturation, placing them below carrots and potatoes in food value but above raw chicken and some other basic options. They can also be crafted into a glistering melon slice, which requires a gold nugget and serves as a brewing ingredient for mundane and healing potions, not a food item. Chickens breed when offered a melon slice, making the item moderately useful in passive mob farming as well. Melon farms tend to yield large quantities because melon blocks regenerate on nearby farmland when the stem is mature, unlike most crops that require replanting after each harvest.
