Glistering melon slices are a crafting ingredient made by combining a melon slice with gold nuggets. They cannot be eaten but are primarily used for brewing Potions of Healing, which instantly restore health.
Glistering melons are an essential item for potion-making, as they are used to create mundane potions and Potion of Healing when brewed with an awkward potion. Unlike golden apples or golden carrots, they do not provide direct player benefits when consumed.
They can be crafted in a crafting table or obtained through villager trading with master-level farmer villagers. Due to their role in potion brewing, glistering melons are valuable for players preparing for combat, exploration, or survival in dangerous areas.
