Craft Enchanted Golden Apples

by Sunset Studio

Craft Enchanted Golden Apples restores the old recipe that lets players craft enchanted golden apples by surrounding an apple with eight gold blocks.

FabricServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21 – 26.1.2

What it does

The mod brings back the crafting recipe for enchanted golden apples, which vanilla Minecraft gates behind loot. An apple surrounded by eight gold blocks on a crafting table produces the item, and once a player crafts one, the recipe is added to the recipe book automatically. The stated goal is to make enchanted golden apples easier to obtain again without changing the rest of the game.

The mod is a Fabric build that also runs on Paper, Spigot, Purpur and as a data pack. Only the server needs it, while players may leave it out. To install it on a server, drop the file into the plugins folder for plugin servers, or place it in the world's datapacks folder for data pack setups, then restart the server. The author describes it as lightweight and performance-friendly. Files cover 1.21 – 1.21.11 and 26.1 – 26.1.2, with 15 release versions in total, and the latest Fabric file, 1.0-Fabric-26.1, is for 26.1.
