Obtaining[edit | edit source]
Trees[edit | edit source]
Oak and dark oak leaves have 0.5% (1⁄200) chance of dropping an apple when decayed or broken. This amounts to approximately 25% chance to get an apple from an oak tree and 60% chance from a dark oak tree. Breaking leaves with a tool enchanted with the fortune enchantment will increase the chances of dropping an apple: 0.556% (1⁄180) with Fortune I, 0.625% (1⁄160) with Fortune II, and 0.833% (1⁄120) with Fortune III.
Natural generation[edit | edit source]
Apples can be found in 61.6% of village blacksmith chests, 74.3% of igloo chests, 33.7% of stronghold altar chests, and 50.0% of stronghold storeroom chests, all in stacks of 1–3; and in 83.8% of bonus chests in stacks of 1–2.
Trading[edit | edit source]
Villager farmers offer to sell apples in exchange for emeralds. 5–7 apples can be bought per emerald as one of their third tier trades.

History[edit | edit source]
| Indev | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January 11, 2010 |  Added apples. When Indev was still new, apples were items brought in to replace brown mushrooms to heal health. The player would spawn in an Indev House by a chest containing 99 apples and other tools. In later updates, the chests inside the house were removed (and eventually the house itself), making apples impossible to obtain. |
