Golden Apple

Golden Apples are rare items found in dungeon chests. They can also be attained through crafting red apples and gold blocks together. Eating one completely restores the player's health.

Crafting
A golden apple is crafted from a red apple with 8 gold blocks surrounding it:

Advantages

 * Golden apples restore all of your health.
 * Makes it easy to stay alive when you're on fire from Lava.

Disadvantages

 * Red apples are very rare, and golden apples even more so.
 * Golden apples are not time or resource efficient to craft; making just one requires 72 gold ingots.
 * While cake only restores nine full hearts in total, it is much more time and resource efficient, making it a common choice over golden apples for space efficient healing.
