notch apple craft
Notch Apple Craft adds the original Notch Apple crafting recipe back to the game, using eight gold blocks around one apple on a crafting table.
What it does
Finding an Enchanted Golden Apple in dungeons can take hours of searching, and this mod makes the item obtainable at a crafting table instead. The recipe follows the classic combination of eight Gold Blocks and one Apple, so the result stays costly and does not replace the normal progression. Nothing else in the game is changed: no new blocks or items are added, and the mod only injects the recipe.
The mod is a client-side only install, so players need it and servers can run without it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, and the single game version supported is 26.1.2. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Because the mod is lightweight and leaves vanilla content alone, it can be added to a survival world without changing other balance or behaviour. Players who want the old crafting option can use it in single-player, while the recipe keeps its original cost.
Key features
Classic Notch Apple recipe
The crafting table recipe uses eight Gold Blocks and one Apple, matching the original way the item was made.
Balanced cost
The recipe keeps the item expensive, so crafting it remains a deliberate choice rather than a shortcut.
Recipe-only changes
The mod only adds the crafting recipe, with no extra blocks, items or tools added to the game.
Lightweight and vanilla friendly
Because it leaves the rest of the game untouched, it fits into existing worlds without side effects.
