A '''golden apple''' is a [[Minecraft:food]] item that bestows beneficial effects when consumed ([[Minecraft:Absorption]] and [[Minecraft:Regeneration]]) and is also used to cure a [[Minecraft:zombie villager]] under the [[Minecraft:Weakness]] effect into a normal [[Minecraft:villager]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Generated loot ===
On the base of <code>ancient_city/city_center/city_center_2</code>, a single golden apple is contained in the [[Minecraft:chest]]. Eating it at that location unlocks the [[Minecraft:piston]] doors to the [[Minecraft:redstone]] labs beneath.

{{LootChestItem|golden-apple}}

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|A1= Gold Ingot
|B1= Gold Ingot
|C1= Gold Ingot
|A2= Gold Ingot
|B2= Apple
|C2= Gold Ingot
|A3= Gold Ingot
|B3= Gold Ingot
|C3= Gold Ingot
|Output= Golden Apple
|type= Foodstuff
}}

== Usage ==
=== Food ===
{{see also|Tutorial:Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}

To eat a golden apple, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. It restores {{hunger|4}} points of hunger and 9.6 hunger [[Minecraft:Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

Unlike most foods, golden apples can be eaten even if the hunger bar is full.

The golden apple provides:
*[[Minecraft:Absorption]] I for 2 minutes (providing {{hp|4|absorption=1|notag=1}})
*[[Minecraft:Regeneration]] II ({{hp|1}} every 25 ticks, {{hp|2|notag=1}} × 0.4 per second) for 5 seconds (long enough to heal {{hp|4|notag=1}})

{{IN|Bedrock}}, eating multiple golden apples in a row causes the Absorption effect to stack, up to {{hp|16|absorption=1}} points of absorption health.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-160490||Eating Golden Apples continues to increase Absorption Hearts up to 8}}</ref>

=== Curing zombie villagers ===
{{main|Zombie Villager#Curing}}

A golden apple and a splash [[Minecraft:potion of Weakness]] can be used to convert a [[Minecraft:zombie villager]] into a regular [[Minecraft:villager]].

=== Horses ===
Golden apples can be used for improving the chances of taming a [[Minecraft:horse]] by 10%, for [[Minecraft:breeding]], leading and healing horses, and for speeding up the growth of baby horses by 4 minutes. {{IN|Java}}, due to a bug, [[Minecraft:skeleton horse]]s (in their hostile state; being ridden by [[Minecraft:skeleton]]s) can also be fed golden apples.<ref>{{bug|MC-304372||Skeleton horses can be interacted when ridden by hostile mobs}}</ref>

=== Piglins ===
[[Minecraft:Piglin]]s run toward any golden apple item on the ground and inspect it for 6 seconds {{in|java}} or 8 seconds {{in|bedrock}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-99448||Piglins need 8 seconds to barter, while they only need 6 in java}}</ref> before putting it in their inventory. However, piglins do not eat golden apples (or any [[Minecraft:food]]).
