Enchanted Golden Apple

The Enchanted Golden Apple is a rare variant of the golden apple that has stronger effects.

Natural generation
Even though the chance of finding one in a mineshaft chest is the lowest, it is typically the best place to search because it tends to have more chests than the other structures. Bastion remnants have higher chances of finding them, but it is seldom found in their loot chests, because of their lesser number (usually 4 to 6, including the central ones).

 * The damage tag of an enchanted apple obtained $$ is 1, although setting it to 0 makes no difference.
 * This is the only item obtainable in survival to have a magenta colored name without being renamed, other than the Thing banner pattern, and the Dragon egg. This is due to its Epic rarity.
