Golden Apple
Crafting Recipe
1 apple (center) + 8 gold ingots (surround) = 1 golden apple. Effects: 20s Regeneration II (1 heart/2.5s) + 2min Absorption (4 extra hearts). Enchanted golden apple (1 apple+8 gold blocks) is even stronger. Essential before boss fights!
Effects & Role
A golden apple restores 4 hunger and grants Absorption II (8 extra health) plus Regeneration II for several seconds — a genuine panic button. Crafted from 8 gold ingots and one apple.
Enchanted Golden Apple
Eight gold blocks (72 ingots) craft an enchanted golden apple with far stronger effects (Absorption IV, Regeneration II, Fire Resistance, Resistance). Save it for the Wither or Ender Dragon given the cost.
