Apple

Apples are food objects found in Alpha mode. There are two types of Apples: Golden Apples and Red Apples.

Red Apples
Red apples are only found in dungeons, and can be used to make Golden Apples.

Notch has included code in the SMP server application that will check whether a player has the username "Notch" when they die. If this is the case, a Red Apple will be dropped on the spot.

Golden Apples
Golden Apples are apples coated with gold. Eating one fully restores your health. They can be found in dungeons on rare occasions.

Crafting
They can be crafted from a Red Apple and 8 Gold blocks surrounding it.



Advantages

 * Golden apples restore all your health. So if you need a lot of health, eating a Golden Apple is the fastest way.

Disadvantages

 * Regular apples are very rare and, as they only heal 2, are not worth looking for.
 * Even though a golden apple restores all your health, it is a waste of time and resources since making one requires 72 gold ingots. However, Gold is useless except for decoration and to make a Watch, and players who have a plentiful supply may wish to create some as a vanity item.
