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 Of course, the code I looked at is no longer current.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.

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)

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)

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.)
