An Enchanted Golden Apple (also referred to as a Notch Apple, God Apple, or Enchanted Apple) is the most powerful and one of the rarest food item in Minecraft.

Overview[]

Enchanted golden apples could previously be obtained through crafting. After 1.9, and subsequent updates across other platforms, they can now only be crafted in the "legacy console edition." However, they may still be found (very rarely) in chests inside different structures.

Previously, these apples were crafted by placing an apple on a crafting table and surrounding it with 8 blocks of gold (see the crafting section), but the crafting recipe was removed in 1.9. Within the in-game inventory, they are called "enchanted apples", but with a holographic text and a glow effect covering them, like any other enchanted item. Even when these apples were craftable, they were still the most difficult food item to obtain because of the number of gold blocks that were required to make one.

Appearance[]

The appearance, which separates the enchanted golden apple from the golden apple, is similar to other enchanted items since it has a purple wavering glow. When hovering the cursor over the item, the text glows purple as well. This does not happen with any other enchanted item.

Beneficial effects[]

Enchanted golden apples are much more powerful than golden apples. When consumed, they heal two hunger points and grant you a few beneficial effects, including:

Crafting[]

Note: Enchanted apples are no longer craftable in any version of Minecraft as of 1.9 besides the "Legacy Console Edition".

The enchanted apple was one of the hardest items to craft, as it required a large quantity of gold. Each enchanted apple required 8 blocks of gold, equivalent to 72 gold ingots and 648 gold nuggets. This made traditional zombified piglin golden nugget farms extremely tedious when trying to farm gold to make the most overpowered food item in the game.
