Gathering and Preparing the Gold for Crafting

Because the recipe introduced by this mod requires eight full blocks of gold, you will need a substantial amount of raw gold before you can craft an enchanted golden apple.

Calculating Your Gold Requirements

To assemble the recipe, you need to prepare your materials in advance:

• One block of gold requires nine gold ingots.
• Eight blocks of gold require a total of 72 gold ingots (one full stack of 64 plus 8 additional ingots).
• Smelt any raw gold mined from caves, badlands biomes, or the Nether into standard gold ingots using a furnace or blast furnace.

Compacting Ingots into Blocks

1. Open a crafting table.

2. Fill all nine slots in the 3x3 grid with gold ingots to create one block of gold.

3. Repeat this process until you have crafted eight full blocks of gold.

4. Keep your eight gold blocks together in your inventory alongside a standard apple.

Once compacted, your gold is ready to be combined with an apple. Storing your gold in block form while mining also saves inventory space until you are ready to complete the recipe.
