Melon Slice
minecraft:melon_sliceA melon slice is a food item obtained by breaking a melon block, which typically drops between three and seven slices, boosted further by Fortune. Eating one restores hunger and saturation, and slices can also be crafted back into a full melon block or combined with a gold nugget to make a glistering melon slice. Melon slices can additionally be added to a composter for a chance at raising its compost level.
