Where to Find Enchanted Golden Apple in Minecraft

Enchanted Golden Apple can turn up across Desert Temples, Dungeons, Mineshafts, Ruined Portals, Ancient Cities, Woodland Mansions, and Trial Chambers, so the search area spans more than one place depending on which method you use. Desert Temples have the highest chance of containing one (2.6%). Ancient Cities (Deep Dark biome, Y -51) also have a decent chance. The main non-crafting route is looting it from generated structure chests.

Enchanted Golden Apple has no crafting recipe, so the efficient approach is to go straight to its source rather than hoping to stumble on it: find it in structure chests (cannot be crafted since 1.9). Dungeon chests near mob spawners occasionally contain them. Provides Absorption IV, Regeneration II, Resistance I, and Fire Resistance I. Cannot be crafted in Java or Bedrock Edition; loot-only since 1.9. Because it is chest loot, the fastest gains come from locating the specific structures listed above and clearing their chests rather than relying on chance encounters. Worth noting on the version side: Crafting recipe removed in Java 1.9; became chest-only loot. Given how rare Enchanted Golden Apple is, most players treat each one as a milestone, so it is worth keeping it safe in an ender chest until you are ready to put it to use.

Players hunting for Enchanted Golden Apple often look for Golden Apple, Golden Carrot, and Totem of Undying as well, since they share locations, recipes, or a progression path. For full stats and the crafting grid, the dedicated Enchanted Golden Apple item page has the complete breakdown.
