Apple

Apples are food items that can be eaten by the player.

Block loot
Oak and dark oak leaves have 0.5% ($1/200$) chance of dropping an apple when decayed or broken, but not if burned. Breaking leaves with a tool enchanted with the Fortune enchantment increases the chances of dropping an apple: 0.556% ($1/180$) with Fortune I, 0.625% ($1/160$) with Fortune II, and 0.833% ($1/120$) with Fortune III.

Trading
Apprentice-level farmer villagers have a 50% ($1/2$) or 66.7% ($2/3$) chance of selling 4 apples as part of their trades.

Usage
To eat an apple, press and hold while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores hunger and 2.4 saturation.

Composting
Placing an apple into a composter has a 65% ($13/20$) chance of raising the compost level by 1.
