DatapacksJava
Better Apple Drops
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Chance for a single apple to drop from a leaf block:
| Condition | Original | Better Apple Drops |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Breaking or Decay | 0.5% | 0.7% |
| Fortune I | 0.556% | 1% |
| Fortune II | 0.625% | 1.5% |
| Fortune III | 0.833% | 3% |
Note that this applies to both oak and dark oak leaves.
This increase of odds doesn't seem like much but it makes a big difference. You can actually get a substantial amount of apples in a reasonable amount of time. This means that you'll no longer feel the need to kidnap and breed villagers just to get a steady supply of apples.
