Description

Custom Apples

A Forge progression mod where every tool, food, and block is an apple. Unlock recipes in the vanilla recipe book, spread orange apple juice from leaves, shrink mobs with the Apple Sword, and reach the Dragon Apple Big Tree for the real APPLE.


Inspired by xNestorio

Inspired by xNestorio and his custom-apple progression.
