CraftNotch
by isax0361
CraftNotch lets servers bring back the classic crafting recipe for the Enchanted Golden Apple, known as the Notch Apple, on modern Minecraft versions.
What it does
The mod makes the Enchanted Golden Apple craftable again through its earlier recipe, so servers running a version from 1.20 onward can offer it. It is a simple, lightweight addition that changes only that recipe and leaves the rest of the game alone.
Server owners install it by placing the file in the mods folder and restarting the server. Fabric API is required on every loader, and Mod Menu is an optional addition for managing mods in game. Only the server needs the mod; players can join without installing it, though the file may be added on the client too.
The mod is published for Fabric, Quilt and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.20 – 26.1.2. The latest files are 1.0.0-Fabric for 1.21.11 on Fabric and Quilt and 1.0.0-NeoForge for 26.1.2 on NeoForge, both dated 2026-04-18. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

How it compares
Craftable Notch Apple is a server-side mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 – 26.1.2 under the MIT License. It works on either side, and neither needs it when the server runs it alone. Legacy Notch Apple Crafting covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21 – 26.2 under All rights reserved, and the server is the only side that must run it. Enchanted Golden Apple Recipe is server-side only and applies to Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.4 – 26.1.2, released under All rights reserved, so players never need a client file.
