Sizes and quality

The Golden Apple texture is 16×16 pixels in game. Here it scales by multiplying each pixel by a whole number, so at 1024 px every pixel is a perfect square and the edges stay sharp. No interpolation smudging the pixel art.

Minecraft golden apple: effects and what it is for

The golden apple is a food that gives effects on top of filling you up. It is crafted by surrounding a regular apple with 8 gold ingots. Eating one restores 4 hunger and 9.6 saturation, and you can eat it even with a full hunger bar, which almost no other food allows.

It gives Absorption I for 2 minutes, adding extra golden hearts, and Regeneration II for 5 seconds. In Bedrock, eating several in a row stacks Absorption up to 16 points. That is why it is the emergency food in fights: it heals you and gives you a health buffer at the same time. It cannot be turned into an enchanted golden apple.

It has some very specific uses. Together with Weakness it cures a zombie villager back into a villager. With horses it helps tame them, and it breeds, leads and heals them, and it takes 4 minutes off a foal's growth.

Piglins run for it if it is on the ground and inspect it for a few seconds before pocketing it, though they never eat it. A chest at the center of one ancient city holds one, and eating it there opens the piston doors to the redstone labs below.
