About Golden Apple

The Golden Apple is a special food item that gives you temporary effects when eaten. It restores 4 hunger and grants a short burst of Regeneration, plus two minutes of Absorption. Because it can be eaten even when your hunger bar is full, players often keep one ready for a tough fight.

Key facts:

  • Grants Regeneration II for 5 seconds and Absorption I for 2 minutes.
  • Restores 4 hunger and a large amount of saturation.
  • Used together with Weakness to cure zombie villagers.
  • Can be used to breed horses and donkeys.

How to get Golden Apple

You can craft a Golden Apple by surrounding an apple with eight gold ingots in a crafting grid. They also appear in loot chests in several structures, including dungeons, mineshafts, desert temples, ruined portals, bastion remnants, igloos, and strongholds. Crafting is the most reliable route if you have gold to spare.
