Glistering Melon Slice

Glistering melon is an item added in the Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4. It can be used for making Potions of Instant Health, by adding it to the Awkward Potion base. If added to a Water Bottle in a brewing stand it will make Mundane potion, virtually identical to the mundane potion made with redstone dust and a water bottle, except this potion can be brewed with gunpowder to make an effect-less splash potions.

Trivia

 * The word glistering is derived from the old English "to glister", meaning to shine or glisten.
