Eternal Golden Apple

Eternal Golden Apple

Turn enchantments into abilities of your own.

Eternal Golden Apple lets you enchant golden apples, eat them to gain body enchantments, and build a collection of lasting abilities. Upgrade your apples through eternalization and transcendence to unlock new ways to fight, mine, and explore.

Minecraft Java 1.20.1, Forge, Java 17
Version 1.1.0, Public Beta
Tested with Forge 47.4.16. Install the mod on both the client and the server.

Enchant. Eternalize. Transcend.

1. Enchant a golden apple. Use a vanilla enchanting table or combine it with an enchanted book in an anvil. Apples accept enchantments from different equipment categories.
2. Choose temporary or permanent power. Eat an enchanted apple for timed body enchantments, or use the Eternal Enchanting Table and a Dragon Soul Crystal to make it eternal. Enchanted eternal apples grant permanent abilities when eaten.
3. Go beyond vanilla levels. Add a Transcendence Crystal and another Dragon Soul Crystal to raise eligible, maximum-level vanilla enchantments by one level. Permanent body enchantments above the vanilla limit unlock special abilities.

The mod implements body effects for 37 non-curse vanilla enchantments. Equipment and body enchantments contribute together according to each effect's rules and limits. Temporary and permanent copies of the same body enchantment do not stack; the permanent version takes precedence.

Build your abilities

Sharpness VI: Armor Break. Gradually weaken a target's effective armor. Targets without armor use a reference-armor calculation to determine bonus damage, without gaining real defense.
Fire Aspect III: Eternal Fire. Burn longer and harder, including against Fire Resistance and supported fire-immune creatures, with reduced burn damage when piercing immunity. Bows can inherit eternal fire even without Flame.
Armor Break + Eternal Fire. Unlock temporary armor melting that benefits all attackers without changing the basis of the next Armor Break calculation.
Power VI. Add 75% of the actual health damage recorded from your first three fully drawn arrows to the fourth fully drawn arrow, with armor penetration on that shot. Hits dealing 10, 20, and 30 damage contribute 45 bonus damage before target defenses are applied.
Mining and maintenance. Unlock 3×3 mining, connected-vein mining, extra ore yield, supported vanilla container transport, durability protection, rest-based repairs, and shared Mending.
Defense and exploration. Discover shields, frontal projectile reflection, an air jump, underwater breathing, dashes, frost trails, enhanced trident returns, and indoor electrical strikes.

Each ability requires its corresponding enchantment. Mining modes are selected manually, and idle experience storage is off by default.

Dragon Soul progression

Ender Dragons drop 8-12 Dragon Soul Fragments. Eternalizing one enchanted apple and then transcending it costs a total of 24 fragments, 21 diamonds, 2 echo shards, and 4 obsidian. The fragment requirement normally takes two to three dragon kills; equipment, enchanting, the apple itself, and dragon-resummoning materials are separate costs.

One ritual can upgrade several eligible enchantments on the same apple. Each ritual consumes only one Dragon Soul Crystal from the outer slots. Fragments and Transcendence Crystals stack to 64.

Controls

V: Open the ability menu to select modes and view resources and cooldowns.
R: Use an unlocked dash when its conditions are met.
Jump again in midair: Trigger an available air jump after releasing the jump key.

Key bindings can be changed in the controls menu. Body enchantments survive death by default, with a configuration option to change this. Drinking milk does not remove them.

Useful details

The vanilla enchanted golden apple has an enchanted glow but no actual enchantment entries. Eternalizing it creates a blank eternal apple, which cannot be eaten until you add an enchanted book through an anvil. A grindstone removes an eternal apple's enchantments while preserving the eternal apple itself.

Transcendence also accepts temporary apples, but does not make them permanent or grant permanent-only abilities.

Compatibility and feedback

Version 1.1.0 is a public beta. Dedicated compatibility testing with the Ring of the Seven Curses and other combat mods is still pending. Third-party enchantments do not automatically gain body effects, and container transport supports specific vanilla blocks rather than arbitrary modded machines.

For bug reports, include your Minecraft and Forge versions, mod list, reproduction steps, and relevant logs. When updating, remove the old JAR and keep only one version of this mod installed.
