Melon slices are food items obtained by breaking melons.

Obtaining

Block loot

See also: Pumpkin and melon farming

Melon slices can be obtained by breaking (harvesting) melons using any tool, a bare hand, or the movement of a piston. Axes, followed by swords, are the fastest tools for harvesting melons. When broken, a melon drops 3–7 melon slices with equal probability for an overall average of 5 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

See also: Hunger management

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.
