While Golden Enchanted Apples aren't the most useful item in the game, they can be life-saving in certain situations.

The Golden Enchanted Apple's most common use is during high-intensity situations such as a boss fight or PVP scenario. Many PVP players like to eat Golden Enchanted Apples before getting into an evenly matched battle.

Here are the stats for the Golden Enchanted Apple:

  • Absorption IV for 2 minutes (provides 8 golden hearts)
  • Regeneration II for 30 seconds (healings 8 hearts)
  • Fire Resistance I for 5 minutes
  • Resistance I for 5 minutes (20% overall reduced damage)

Enchanted Golden Apples can also be used to breed, increase taming chances and speed up the growth of horses

Additionally, these apples can be used to create a "Thing" banner pattern, which can be applied to a Banner inside of a Loom (seen above).

Piglins are extremely attracted to the God Apple and will run towards a dropped one and steal it.
