Melon Slice

A melon slice is a food item that can be eaten by the player.

Drops
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.

Food
Eating a melon slice restores points of hunger and 1.2 points of hunger saturation.

Composting
Placing a melon slice into a composter has a 50% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Trading
Journeyman-level Farmer villagers buy 4 melon slices for an emerald as part of their trades.
