Cheaper Golden Apple

by Sumbaii999

Cheaper Golden Apple changes the crafting recipe for the golden apple so it takes 4 gold ingots instead of the usual 8.

What it does

The mod replaces the golden apple recipe in the game with a version that needs half as much gold. Crafting the item is cheaper, so a golden apple is reached earlier in survival play. Server owners install it on the server, and players can join without it. Cheaper Golden Apple runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, is published for game versions 1.13 – 26.2, and is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Halved gold cost

    The golden apple recipe uses 4 gold ingots in place of the vanilla 8.

  2. Server-side change

    Only the server needs the recipe change, so players join without installing anything.

  3. Recipe via data pack

    A data pack build is also available for servers that prefer that setup.

How it compares

Full comparison

Enchanted Golden Apple Addition is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.14.1 – 26.2 across the same four loaders, with the same server-required environment. Camille's Cheaper golden food is open source under the MIT License and targets 1.19 – 1.21.11, so it stops short of the newest builds.
