Melon slices are food items obtained by breaking melons.

Obtaining

Block loot

Melon slices can be obtained by breaking (harvesting) melons using any tool or by hand. Axes, followed by swords, are the fastest tools for harvesting melons. A melon drops 3–7 melon slices, when broken; by hand, using a tool, or after being broken by the movement of a piston, with an average of 4.64 slices per melon.

Breaking a melon with a tool enchanted with Fortune increases the potential number of drops by 1 slice per level, up to a maximum of 9 slices.

Usage

Food

To eat a melon slice, press and hold use while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores 2 () hunger and 1.2 hunger saturation.
