Ingredients Crafting recipe
Copper Ingot

Usage

Lightning rods can be oriented in different directions. Lightning rods redirect lightning strikes within an area of 32×4×32 blocks to the top of the rod, which can prevent flammable structures from catching on fire during thunderstorms. Lightning rods do not divert the lightning created by a trident enchanted with Channeling thrown at an entity during a thunderstorm, or the lightning summoned by commands.

A lighting rod emits a redstone signal when struck by lightning. A Channeling-enchanted trident thrown at a lightning rod always creates thunder without the need for a mob, but no redstone signal is produced.

An '''enchanted golden apple''' ({{in|je}}), notch apple, or '''enchanted apple''' ({{in|be}}), is a rare, uncraftable variant of the [[golden apple]] that grants much more powerful effects when consumed.

== Obtaining ==
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-golden-apple}}

== Usage ==
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}

To eat an enchanted golden apple, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. It restores {{hunger|4}} points of hunger and 9.6 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

The enchanted golden apple provides: 
* [[Absorption]] IV for 2 minutes (providing {{hp|16|absorption=1}} points of absorption health)
* [[Regeneration]] level II {{in|java}} or V {{in|bedrock}} for 30 seconds ({{in|java}}, {{hp|1}} is restored every 25 ticks, {{hp|2|notag=1}} × 0.4 per second) for 20 seconds (long enough to heal {{hp|16}} points of damage; {{in|bedrock}}, {{hp|1}} is restored every 6 ticks, {{hp|2|notag=1}} × 1.66 per second for 30 seconds, which is long enough to heal up to {{hp|100}} points of damage.
* [[Fire Resistance]] I for 5 minutes
* [[Resistance]] I (20% reduced damage from all sources except the [[void]]) for 5 minutes

=== Horses ===
Enchanted golden apples can be used for improving the chances of taming a [[horse]] by 10%, for [[breeding]] and leading horses, and for speeding up the growth of [[baby]] horses by 4 minutes.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage|Enchanted Golden Apple|match=start}}
===Piglins===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to enchanted golden apples and run toward any enchanted golden apples on the ground, and inspect it for 6 to 8 seconds before putting it in their inventory. However, piglins do not eat enchanted golden apples (or any [[food]]).
