Usage

To eat a golden apple, press and hold use while it is selected in the hotbar. Both restore 4 (🍗🍗) points of hunger and 9.6 hunger saturation.

The regular golden apple provides Absorption I for 2 minutes (providing 4♥♥ points of absorption health) and Regeneration II (1♥ every 25 ticks, ♥ × 0.4 per second) for 5 seconds (long enough to heal 4♥♥ points of damage).

The enchanted golden apple provides Absorption IV for 2 minutes (providing 16♥ × 8 points of absorption health), Regeneration level II in Java Edition or V in Bedrock and Legacy Console editions (in Java Edition 1♥ every 25 ticks, ♥ × 0.4 per second) for 20 seconds (long enough to heal 16♥ × 8 points of damage), (in Bedrock and Legacy Console editions 1♥ every 6 ticks, ♥ × 1.66 per second) for 30 seconds (most likely replenish full health in few seconds), Fire Resistance I for 5 minutes and Resistance I (20% reduced damage from all sources except the void) for 5 minutes.

Golden apples can be eaten even when the player's hunger bar is full.

Curing zombie villagers

A regular golden apple and a potion of Weakness can be used to convert a zombie villager into a regular villager.

Horses

Both types of golden apples can be used to improve the chances of taming a horse by 10%, for breeding horses and for speeding up the growth of baby horses by 4 minutes.
