Apples are food objects found in Alpha and Beta mode. There are two types of Apples: Golden Apples and Red Apples.
Red Apples
Template:Food Red apples are only found in dungeons, and can be used to make Golden Apples.
Notch has included code in the SMP server application that will check whether a player has the username "Notch" when they die. If this is the case, a Red Apple will be dropped on the spot.
Golden Apples
Template:Food Golden Apples are apples coated with gold. Eating one fully restores your health. They can be found in dungeons on rare occasions.
Crafting
They can be crafted from a Red Apple and 8 Gold blocks surrounding it.

Advantages
- Golden apples restore all your health. So if you need a lot of health, eating a Golden Apple is the fastest way.
Disadvantages
- Regular apples are very rare and, as they only heal 2, are not worth looking for.
- Even though a golden apple restores all your health, it is a waste of time and resources since making one requires 72 gold ingots. However, Gold is useless except for decoration and to make a Clock, and players who have a plentiful supply may wish to create some as a vanity item.
