Apples

Within Minecraft we have wheat, potatoes(heals 1-5 hunger), carrots (heals 3 hunger), beets (heals 1 hunger), sweet berries (heals 2 hunger), glow berries (heals 2 hunger), pumpkins, and melons (heals 2 hunger) that we can grow as food. However, we are also capable of getting apples (heals 4 hunger) from oak trees, but we cannot plant them or grow apple trees.  We are limited to obtaining apples through chests from villages, igloos, strongholds, and oak trees. It would be nice if we could craft the apple into apple seeds to plant and grow an apple tree that when the leaves are broken give 100% chance of dropping an apple. This is great for players that want to have a farm and need additional food to sell without having to find it, or use it to heal/feed their horses, or just want a snack.

 

Item(s): Apple seeds and Apple tree

How it would work: Craft the apple seeds using an apple, plant the tree and break the leaves to receive a 100% of an apple dropping.

Usage: Provides players with an additional resource and food item for their farms without having to find apples.

    This would be an amazing addition because such a small change can set up ways in which orchilds can be added into the game as new functional blocks, decorative items, food types and plant varieties. If say, a pottery wheel and an overhaul to minecraft's weather/season system were included, then adding new types of fruit trees into the game would be a welcome addition that's thematic to the concept. 

    Right now, in order for builders to achieve an apple tree effect, they are required to either use a debug tool or use redstone tricks to mount apples to custom trees they've made but imagine what it could look like for builders to have access to authentically grown apple trees or any other type of fruit producing plant? 

    A simple fix to apples in the game has so much potential to unlock ways in which the Minecraft team can develop new types of decorative items, gameplay systems and simply add ways to build upon immersion. This can even include new types of drinks (necter, juices) for a fruit press machine, a way to introduce new foods and food types like jams, pies and fruit salads. 

    Also, with the addition of apple (and more fruit trees & plants) we can get new types of mobs, like different kinds of insects we can collect that are drawn to such plants (for good or bad).
