Talk:Golden Apple/Archive 2

Drop Rates in dungeon chests
I saw someone post a screenshot of them finding a golden apple in a chest after 1.5 hit. Could someone confirm that the drop rate is still around 1%? Also, from what I recall of the chest code, it wasn't 1 in 125, it was 1 in 100 if the golden apple happened to be randomly selected. Of course, the code I looked at is no longer current. --Theothersteve7 17:42, 21 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I can't confirm the exact rate, but yeah, I've found one in a plain ol' dungeon chest in 1.9 pre 2. So, they're not limited to Strongholds as the wiki page currently claims. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.130.234.75 (Talk) 03:41, 4 October 2011. Please sign your posts with

Healing amount
The page currently says : "Golden apples are often misunderstood in terms of healing: the player dies when all his 10 hearts disappear. It must be considered that golden apples heal only 9.5/10 hearts; while the last heart is 1/2 and any other damage from falling or any form of attack from a mob is fatal."

This is like saying a loaf of bread only heals 1 heart as long as you have 9 hearts left. Of course the golden apple heals 10 hearts. It's an unwieldy way of saying you won't be in a position to use all the healing potential of a golden apple. Steviesteveo 21:47, 10 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I have nothing to argue here. Both perspectives are very much true. Sykar24 05:13, 15 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Except that it looks to me like that should be 10 HP -- four seconds of Regeneration II, allowing an extra count as the potions have, should be . I'm putting that in the main page, if someone knows better, feel free to correct it.  --71.62.74.41 15:43, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Wow, these are expensive!
Is there a reason why he made them so damn expensive? I mean seriously, it's ridiculous how costly these things are! Electrk 19:37, 13 October 2011 (UTC)


 * So what? That's why you go find them in chests or play in SMP, or spawn them. - Asterick6 22:44, 14 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Spawning them doesn't count. --Captain_Clam 22:59, 14 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it's kind of obscene. I guess they are like an "unobtainable cheat item" in the game. It would be more realistic if they were made with ingots rather than blocks. --HexZyle 23:10, 16 October 2011 (UTC)


 * With the introduction of regeneration potions I'm slightly hoping Golden Apples will do something far more amazing to retain their value. Their purple text and glow is bound to mean it's epic or unique, so let's hope it will be. I guess I could bother Jeb about it, see if he has time to answer on twitter or such. -Saratje 19:50, 17 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Now after the 1.1 release, Apples seem to be alot easier to get from oak tree leaves as I was colleting from my tree farm today and got two apples after chopping 5 trees and their leaves. I crafted one into a golden apple using a less expensive way after the update (Gold nuggets in stead of Gold blocks) and then got really exicited because of how rare I thought they were! I then read the wiki to see there value dropped completely. They shouldn't be expensive (Gold blocks) Or cheap (Gold nuggets) They should obtain some value back by crafting the golden apple with gold ingots. So its easier but doesn't rob you.

Obtained by Inventory Editors?
The last line of text in the first section of the page reads "Because of their rarity, they are often obtained via inventory editors." Is that really a fact? That sounds... out of place to me. ThatDirtBlock made this. 00:43, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, this isn't the place for mentioning mods. Removing it would be a good idea. --HexZyle 01:00, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Taken care of for now. --Saratje 02:08, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Should the images be animated?
Since Golden Apples obtained a purple glow in 1.9 prerelease…2?, should it be considered to make its appearance on the page (Goldenapple.png,Grid_Golden_Apple.png) and in Template:Items animated with said glow? In the interest of accuracy, of course… (I would also like to take a moment to brag that I legitimately obtained a Golden Apple yesterday… I am a happy bunny) Shellface 14:06, 29 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Got mine a good while when dungeon hunting at the 8th or so attempt, lucky! An animated golden apple could be nice I guess. --Saratje 16:23, 29 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I crafted mine- I still have 24 Blocks of Gold waiting for apples, though it took two (1.8) Strongholds to get one apple, so they might have to wait 'til apple trees. But back on track, I guess the images will have to be .gifs since not all browsers support animated .pngs (do they have a special file type? I forget.), as far as I remember (screw you, IE.)

Naming
I think Aupple is a better name for this item. Those of you who know your periodic table should be laughing right about now. 77.164.81.181 11:04, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Mildly funny. I like puns. This one is decent. :) --HexZyle 14:18, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Though humorous to the educated, I think this joke is slightly too obscure to warrant adding it to the full game. Cobalt32 14:40, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * @27, I highly doubt he was serious. He was just bringing a bit of aurum fruity humour to our (half-)lives. ;) --HexZyle 15:02, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * We should make a fictional minecraft blocks periodic table. Haha!  : : S A R A T J E  : :[[File:Diamondapple.png]]  : : T A L K :C O N T R I B U T I O N S

 * Ha, xkcd reference xD. Nice one, and the funny thing is my chem syllabus has the comic on it with the Snapple joke. - Asterick6 (talk) 23:03, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Purple tag?
Should we add a | title = tag to the item infobox, to match the fact that golden apples have purple text?

S A R A T J E  : :  : :T A L K :C O N T R I B U T I O N S


 * 1. Why does it matter that the tooltip is purple?
 * 2. It would be difficult to read on the blue background. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 04:09, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Apples dropping from Trees
Apples do not drop in the official 1.0.0 release. That is only a feature of the weekly builds. However the wiki makes no distinction between what is in the official release, and what is only in an unofficial build release. Please either specifically note EACH item which is only available in the Development Snapshots, or add a section specific to the **Unreleased** features. 69.145.252.213 10:07, 26 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Apples As of 1.1 DO drop from Oak Tree leaves either when natrally disintigrated or punched out. Sykar24 05:10, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Can someone get a pic from a stronghold chest?
So, I found a seed for a stronghold chest, one I was always looking for. Multiple gold apples. First chest I found had 2 golden apples. The seed was "CorridorDigital". Without quotes. I've lost the chest by now, and I can't remember which world I have it on, so if anyone feels like they want to find this stronghold and the apple chest, I feel that a multiple apple chest would be a great thing to add to the gallery.

Nerfing of required items
Jeb has recently said on Twitter that he is changing the recipe to a lesser amount, but it hasn't been confirmed what it has been changed to yet (e.g ingots or nuggets or whatever) –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 92.232.109.17 (Talk) 17:07, 9 January 2012. Please sign your posts with

Hunger healing drop
Golden apples now only heal 2 bars of hunger, the same as an apple. I added it to the page :3. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 90.200.225.159 (Talk) 20:04, 12 January 2012. Please sign your posts with
 * You forgot to change the trivia, which says that it will competely fill the hunger bar. I will change it Harishimomo 17:54, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Golden Apples in Mineshafts
Can someone confirm that golden apples can be found in mineshafts? With a seed or code information? Goregue 14:42, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Golden Apples weren't in Indev!
I have checked Indev 0.31 and the last Indev's items.png files, only normal apple we're there. I checked Infdev, i found the texture! Updated the page... –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Ldtvproductions (Talk&#124;Contribs) 12:47, 31 March 2012‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with
