Minecraft theorists: the heaviest item steve can carry is a "notch apple" because the old crafting recipe is an apple and 8 gold blocks.

Me, smarter: The hottest item steve can hold is a chainmail chestplate because in old versions of the game you need 8 fire to craft it. Also a stair block weighs 1.5 blocks because you need 6 blocks to make 4 stairs. Also pumpkins have magical powers.

Btw what do people call notch apples now adays? Are they even still in the game?

@Ivafakename yes and no

theyr'e now called Enchanted Golden Apples, and they can stack up to 64 times, like regular apples.

HOWEVER

you no longer can craft them at all. They're randomly found in chests in dungeons sometimes though. Rarely.

Also they have an entirely new icon and holo-effect on them

@Ivafakename I suspect this is mostly because of minecraft excising anything of markus from the game because he's a fashy Qanon-believing piece of shit ahaha
