Overview
Golden Apple is a food item in the Food category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it, Dungeon chest loot, Mineshaft chest loot, and Ruined Portal chest loot. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Golden Apple. Eating it restores 4 hunger (2 drumsticks) and 9.6 saturation points. This item was added to the game in the 1.0 full release.
In this database, Golden Apple sits alongside 36 other Food entries, each with its own page. Restoring 4 hunger and 9.6 saturation, Golden Apple keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue; higher saturation means you stay full for longer before needing to eat again.
