What it does

Players can craft and eat an Enchanted Golden Apple that matches the version of the item used before the later changes. The effects are configurable: the custom effect list accepts a registry name, duration in ticks, amplifier from 0 to 255, and presets drawn from earlier snapshot builds such as 12w21a and 15w37a. The mod also restores the Overpowered advancement and offers a configuration file for each option.

Each of the three main switches can be turned on or off: crafting recipes, advancements and custom effects. The mod requires a Resources Pack and a Datapack version to take effect, and it supports Minecraft 1.12 and newer. Because the environment is server required with an optional client, the server needs the mod, while players may leave it out. Mod-specific files are published for 1.12.2 – 26.2 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest Fabric file 1.2+26.1 for 26.1.2.
