Apple Expansion
by As3t4t0
Apple Expansion adds twenty-four apples to Forge 1.20.1, each named after a Minecraft ore and each with its own effect beyond restoring hunger.
What it does
Beside the familiar Golden Apple and its enchanted version, the mod brings in a set of new apple types modeled on ores. The set has 11 normal apples, 11 enchanted apples and 2 special apples, and the author says further varieties and mechanics are planned for later updates.
Each apple grants a status effect or triggers a special ability. Some strengthen the player with buffs and better survivability, while others weaken or harm nearby mobs, lowering their health cap or inflicting harmful effects. The apples are meant for exploration, survival, combat and progression, and each one suits a different style of play.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It runs on the client and the server, so both the server and every player need it. The latest Forge file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, published on 2026-05-26, and the mod has been available since 2026-05-07.
Key features

Coal Apples give night vision and set nearby monsters alight, while Copper Apples call lightning down on enemies.
Stone-to-ore transformation
Stone Apples turn nearby stone blocks into random ores, which creates mining opportunities.
Hostile mob debuffs
Several apples weaken or harm nearby hostile mobs, such as Withering Apples that spread wither damage.
