So there have been some discussions and ideas about god apples, and there have been some suggestions like putting a timer on god apples in Annihilation, or just completely removing then, I'd like to give my thoughts here:

If you don't know, this is what you need to do, to get an god apple on Annihilation. You need to mine around two stacks of gold ores, smelt them, then break tree leaves to find an apple, you can find one on your first tree, but you can also go through 200 swords before you find one. This might not look like much, but this is a lot of grinding for an apple that will make sure you can't die for 20 seconds. 20 seconds for 10-20 minutes of mining, 15-20 minutes (probably more) of smelting, 5-10 minutes of breaking leaves, and thats JUST for the god apple. If you're rushing with an opple, you need armor, good enchants, pots, etc.

In conclusion, I don't think they should be removed, and I don't think there should be set a timer on them either. If you're willing to grind that much, specially for more than 1 opple, you deserve 20 seconds of being God, and in case of two opples. you deserve being able too get another 20 seconds of being god without an timer. -My thoughts
