About Glistering Melon Slice
The Glistering Melon Slice is a brewing ingredient rather than food. You cannot eat it, even though it looks like a shiny melon slice. Its main use is in brewing: add one to an Awkward Potion to create a Potion of Healing, which restores health instantly.
This makes it useful for players who want to stock up on healing potions for boss fights, raids, or adventures with friends. It stacks to 64, so you can carry plenty for a brewing session.
How to get Glistering Melon Slice
You can only get Glistering Melon Slices by crafting them. The recipe is one melon slice surrounded by eight gold nuggets, and it produces one glistering slice. It is not found in chests or dropped by mobs.
To craft it, you will need a melon slice from a grown melon block, plus gold nuggets from Nether gold ore or from breaking gold ingots into nuggets. This makes it a fairly cheap brewing ingredient once you have a small gold supply.
