Gathering Resources to Craft Notch Apples

Sourcing Apples

Because Notch apples can now be produced in your base, having a steady supply of basic apples is your first step. Cut down oak or dark oak trees and destroy the decaying leaf blocks, which occasionally drop regular apples. Setting up a dedicated tree orchard near your base ensures you always have the core fruit ready for crafting.

Amassing Gold Blocks

Every enchanted golden apple requires eight full blocks of gold, making gold accumulation the primary requirement.

• Mining: Dig deep into underground stone layers or explore badlands biomes where gold ore generates frequently at higher elevations.
• Smelting: Process all mined raw gold through a furnace or blast furnace to produce gold ingots.
• Compacting: Open a crafting table and fill all nine slots with gold ingots to create a single gold block. Repeat this until you have eight blocks.

Once you have your apple and eight gold blocks, you can craft the Notch apple immediately without searching for generated dungeon loot.
