What it does

The mod replaces the vanilla golden apple recipe with a cheaper one, so players can craft the item from fewer or more common ingredients. The change is set by a data pack, which the author describes as the way the recipe is adjusted. Updates cover versions up to 1.16, and the files shown here target 1.13 – 26.3.

Key features

Lower crafting cost
Golden apples can be crafted from a reduced set of ingredients than in vanilla Minecraft.
Data pack based recipe
The recipe change is delivered through a data pack, so it is applied without altering the game's code.
Server-side behavior
Only the server needs the change; players join without installing anything.
