[edit] Usability
[edit] Pros
- Apples are a renewable resource and can be harvested alongside wood.
- While the player is harvesting wood, they receive apples with next to no added effort.
- Apples can be used as a crafting ingredient to make golden apples.
- Apples can be a good source of food when a player first starts in a new world, as it doesn't consume time planting seeds or killing mobs.
[edit] Cons
- Apples restore only four hunger (
). - Players will become hungry again quickly compared to eating bread or meat due to a low saturation value.
- Apples take more effort to farm than other foods, and should generally be considered a by-product of wood harvesting.
- Apples can be an unreliable food source, as even large trees may occasionally drop no apples.

[edit] History
| Indev | ||
|---|---|---|
| 0.31 (January 11, 2010) | Added red apple. When Indev was still new, Apples were items brought in to replace Brown Mushrooms to heal health. The player would spawn in an Indev House by a chest containing 99 Apples and other tools. In later updates, the chests inside the House were removed, and Apples became impossible to find in a map. | |
