Template:Food Red Apples are food items that were added in early Indev. Apples exist in Beta mode, as well as the removed Indev, Infdev and Alpha modes. Apples fill 🍗🍗, but are not a reliable food source.

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 Apples became impossible to find in a map.

Apples remained impossible to find until Survival Multiplayer. To find one, the player must kill Notch. In addition to his inventory, Notch would drop a Red Apple. The only other way to obtain apples was to hack the player's inventory.

Since 1.8, apples can now be legitimately obtained through chests in strongholds.

As a crafting ingredient

Red Apples can be used to craft a Golden Apple.
