AddEnchantedGoldenAppleRecipe
by Desael3
In Survival mode, the Enchanted Golden Apple becomes craftable again: an apple placed in the centre of eight gold blocks produces one enchanted apple.
What it does
The mod adds a single crafting recipe: an apple surrounded by eight gold blocks produces one Enchanted Golden Apple. The recipe follows vanilla crafting logic and uses the item's existing mechanics, so the result behaves like any other Enchanted Golden Apple. Only one recipe is added, with a small amount of extra code.
Players who want less late-game exploration pressure, or who prefer easier long-term survival worlds, can use the recipe to reach high-tier golden apples without searching for them, which can also help in PvP. The mod is for Forge on Minecraft 1.21.1 only, and it runs on client and server. Both the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source; the source code is public.
