Golden Apple
x1
G = Gold Ingot. A = Apple. Station: Crafting Table (3x3 grid).
Ingredients and how to get them
| Material | Amount | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Gold Ingot | 8 | Smelt gold ore (common in badlands and below Y=32), craft from 9 gold nuggets, or loot bastions and ruined portals. |
| Apple | 1 | Drops from oak and dark oak leaves (0.5% chance per leaf block), or loot village and stronghold chests. |
What is Golden Apple used for?
- Eating gives Absorption I for 2 minutes and Regeneration II for 5 seconds - the classic clutch heal before a fight
- Cures zombie villagers: feed one after hitting it with a Splash Potion of Weakness
- Feeds horses, donkeys and mules, and speeds up foal growth
Variants
- The Enchanted Golden Apple (Notch Apple) cannot be crafted since Java 1.9 - it only generates as loot in ancient cities, bastions, dungeons, mineshafts, ruined portals and woodland mansions
