History

Java Edition

1.3.1

12w21a

Added a second tier of the golden apple that provides greater benefits, similar to the golden apple before 1.1.

It grants Resistance (5 minutes) and Fire Resistance (5 minutes) in addition to Regeneration IV (30 seconds). However, it only restores 4 (

) hunger points.

It can be crafted with 8 blocks of gold and one apple. Since apples are also renewable, enchanted golden apples are renewable, as opposed to pre-1.1 golden apples.

It shines like an enchanted item and features a magenta tooltip meaning that it is "Epic" rarity, but it is simply named "Golden Apple". In response, the standard golden apple lost its glint, and its tooltip was changed to a cyan tooltip meaning that it is "Rare".
