Craftable Notch Apple
by hydrazone
Craftable Notch Apple restores the original Notch Apple recipe, built from 8 Gold Blocks and 1 Apple, for players who want the classic craft back.
What it does
The mod puts back the enchanted golden apple recipe used in older versions of the game, so players can craft the item with 8 Gold Blocks and 1 Apple. It is a lightweight change that adds no extra items or unnecessary code. Installation is done on the server, and players only need the mod when they join a server that runs it; a client may still add it. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, across 9 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, under the MIT License, which is not open source.
