For the longest time, I've wanted to have the textures be different for the two Golden Apple versions (I posted a concept of what my design would look like below), but I have never been able to find anything, until now!

I found this Reddit post where someone actually managed to do it, but unfortunately, they aren't releasing their pack yet, and I don't have Reddit so I can't ask them how they did it.

Does anyone know what they did? If you could help me out that'd me much appreciated! Thanks!

This one is actually pretty easy, at least if you're in a newer version of Minecraft. Just alter the item model file "/assets/minecraft/models/item/enchanted_golden_apple.json" so that it points to a different texture. It's mostly human-readable and so isn't too hard to figure out even if you're not familiar with the vanilla model's system so long as you understand how resource packs work in general.

If you're on an older version, this can still be done with Optifine's CIT... though that's a bit more complicated and so I'd rather not go into it if you don't need it. Regardless, it is possible and I know it is because I did it in my own pack.

I hope that helps you.

EXCELLENT!
It worked perfectly!
Thank you so much for your help!

In an older version, the enchanted golden apple can be given to yourself by giving yourself a golden apple, but with the metadata set to 1.

So in older versions, if the version supports overrides with durability count (which i no longer know) you can do it in older versions, too.
