Template:Food

This article is about the natural food item. For the rarer, more beneficial food item, see Golden Apple.

Duncan Geere Mojang avatar

Apples restore two full points of hunger. But WAIT! They can also be crafted with gold into golden apples – which heal the same amount of hunger but give you health regeneration and absorption buffs on top. Horses like apples too, and feeding one to a baby horse will help it grow up big and strong.

Duncan Geere[1]

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

Obtaining

Trees

Oak and dark oak leaves have 0.5% (1200) chance of dropping an apple when decayed or broken. This amounts to approximately 25% chance to get an apple from an oak tree and 60% chance from a dark oak tree. Breaking leaves with a tool enchanted with the fortune enchantment will increase the chances of dropping an apple: 0.556% (1180) with Fortune I, 0.625% (1160) with Fortune II, and 0.833% (1120) with Fortune III.

History

.
indev
0.310.31 (January 11, 2010, 1) Added apples. When Indev was still new, apples were items brought in to replace brown mushrooms to heal health. The player would spawn in an Indev House by a chest containing 99 apples and other tools. In later updates, the chests inside the house were removed (and eventually the house itself), making apples impossible to obtain.
infdev
February 23, 2010At the bottom of a crafting guide they made, a player named JTE jokingly indicated that Notch dropped an apple when killed, and that apples could be crafted into something called a "golden apple" – this was a joke on the fact that apples were totally unobtainable.[2][3]
