Notch Apple

by Discorde

Notch Apple brings back the old Notch Apple recipe for Fabric, letting players craft the enchanted golden apple from eight gold blocks around one apple.

FabricClient or server, optionalMIT License1.20 – 1.20.1

What it does

The mod restores a recipe that was removed from the game, so the crafted Notch Apple is available again in survival. Its item looks closer to a regular golden apple than the enchanted version does. Both the server and the players need the mod for the recipe to work, and Fabric API must be installed alongside it. Files are published for 1.20 and 1.20.1, and the mod is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, dated 2023-09-05.

Key features

  1. Restored Notch Apple recipe

    Crafting uses eight gold blocks around a single apple, the arrangement used before the recipe was removed from the game.

  2. Familiar appearance

    The crafted item keeps the look of a regular golden apple, so it reads as a food item rather than a distinct artifact.

  3. Single-purpose change

    The mod adds the recipe and nothing else, leaving the rest of the game's crafting and items unchanged.

What the author says

This mod works both on a server and on a client. No need to install it on both to make it work! (And yes, it's actually a Notch Apple, even if it does look more like a regular Golden Apple on this screenshot)
