Gathering and Compacting Gold for Apple Crafting

The recipe restored by this mod is deliberately expensive, requiring eight solid blocks of gold. Preparing the raw materials properly ensures you can craft enchanted golden apples efficiently without running out of resources.

Calculating Raw Gold Needs

Because every single enchanted golden apple requires eight full blocks of gold, you will need to mine and smelt substantial reserves:

• 1 Block of Gold = 9 Gold Ingots
• 8 Blocks of Gold = 72 Gold Ingots per crafted apple

Ensure you run gold ore or raw gold through furnaces or blast furnaces to smelt full stacks of ingots before attempting to assemble the recipe.

Compacting Ingots into Blocks

1. Open a Crafting Table interface.

2. Fill all nine slots of the 3x3 grid with gold ingots to yield one Block of Gold.

3. Repeat this process until you have at least eight individual blocks of gold in your inventory.

4. Store these blocks alongside regular apples in a dedicated chest near your crafting area so you can quickly produce enchanted golden apples whenever you need them for dangerous expeditions.
