This article is about the natural food item. For the rarer, more beneficial food item, see Golden Apple.

	“	Apples restore two full points of hunger. But WAIT! They can also be crafted with gold into golden apples – which heal the same amount of hunger but give you health regeneration and absorption buffs on top. Horses like apples too, and feeding one to a baby horse will help it grow up big and strong.	„
		— Duncan Geere

Apples are food items that can be eaten by the player.

Obtaining

Trees

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.

Apples can be found in 33.5% of stronghold altar chests, 47.5% of stronghold storeroom chests, 59.8% of village blacksmith chests, and 70.4% of igloo chests, all in stacks of 1–3; and in 83.8% of bonus chests in stacks of 1–2. In 1.14‌^[upcoming] they can be found in 59.8% of village weaponsmith chests in stacks of 1–3, and in 76.9% of village house chests in stacks of 1–5.

History

Java Edition Indev
0.31			2010-01-11		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.
