Mildly Golden Apples
by SirQuestalot
Mildly Golden Apples changes the golden apple recipe so that curing zombie villagers costs less gold, which makes large cures more affordable on Fabric servers.
What it does
The mod alters the recipe for the golden apple, swapping some of the gold ingots and gold nuggets it normally needs for a cheaper combination. Because curing a zombie villager with a golden apple is the costly step, a server that uses the mod can cure many villagers without spending as much gold. Gold is then freed up for other uses in the world.
The mod is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything. It requires Fabric API, which must be installed on the server alongside Mildly Golden Apples. The files target Fabric and the latest file, 1.20-1.20.4, is for 1.20.4 and was published on 2024-03-18. The author notes that the mod has only been tested on 1.20.4.
Key features
Cheaper golden apple recipe
The golden apple recipe uses a different mix of gold ingots and gold nuggets than vanilla, reducing the gold needed for each apple.
Lower cost of curing villagers
Because the apples used in curing are cheaper to craft, large numbers of zombie villagers can be cured without a heavy gold cost.
More room for other gold uses
Players keep more gold available for other items and projects, since the curing step no longer takes as much of it.
Server-side operation
Only the server runs the change, so players connect with a vanilla client and need nothing extra installed.

Use cases
Mass villager curing
A server with a trading hall or a village that needs many cured villagers can produce them at a lower gold cost.
Gold-scarce survival worlds
Players in worlds where gold is hard to find can still use golden apples for curing without draining their supply.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Fabric who want golden apple curing to cost less gold, and players on those servers who cure many villagers.
How it compares
Mildly Golden Apples is server-side only and is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so it is not open source. Revert Stackable Curing Discount is also server-side only and is open source under the MIT License, but it targets 1.20.2 – 1.21.11 and changes the curing discount rather than the recipe. Notch Apple is an optional mod for either side and uses the MIT License for 1.20 – 1.20.1, so it addresses a different part of golden apple use.
