{{Dungeons hatnote|type=consumable|Melon}} {{Infobox item | title = Melon Slice |typeimage=Melon Slice.png | renewable = Yes | heals = {{hunger|2}} | stackable = Yes (64) }} '''Melon slices''' are [[food]] items obtained by breaking [[melon]]s that restore {{hunger|1}} hunger point. == Obtaining == === Block loot === {{see also|Tutorials/Pumpkin and melon farming|title1 = Pumpkin and melon farming}} Melon slices can be obtained by breaking (harvesting) [[melon]]s using any [[tool]] or by hand. [[Axe]]s, followed by [[sword]]s, 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 === {{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}} To eat a melon slice, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|2}} [[hunger]] and 1.2 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]]. === Crafting ingredient === {{crafting usage}} === Composting === Placing a melon slice into a [[composter]] has a 50% chance of raising the compost level by 1. == Sounds == {{Sound table/Entity/Food}} == Data values == === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Melon Slice |spritetype=item |nameid=melon_slice |form=item |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |showaliasids=y |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |notshowbeitemforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Melon Slice |spritetype=item |nameid=melon_slice |aliasid=melon |id=272 |form=item |translationkey=item.melon.name |foot=1}} == Advancements == {{load advancements|Husbandry;A Balanced Diet}} == History == {{HistoryTable |{{HistoryLine|java beta}} |{{HistoryLine||1.8|dev=Pre-release|[[File:Melon Slice JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added melons.}} |{{HistoryLine|java}} |{{HistoryLine||1.0.0|dev=Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4|Melons are now used in the [[crafting]] recipe of [[glistering melon]]s.}} |{{HistoryLine|||dev=Beta 1.9 Prerelease 5|Melons once again drop the correct number of slices.}} |{{HistoryLine||1.3.1|dev=12w21a|Melons can now be [[Trading|bought]] from farmer [[villager]]s, at 5–8 melon slices for 1 [[emerald]].}} |{{HistoryLine||1.7.2|dev=13w37a|Block ID 105, [[melon stem]], has been removed from the {{cmd|give}} [[Commands|command]].}} |{{HistoryLine||1.8|dev=14w02a|[[Villager]]s no longer [[trading|sell]] melons.
