This item would be used for many different things, so I don't think it belongs in small suggestions. The poison apple would appear green in color. When witches are added, it would be a drop item from them. This item would add a new affect into the game called deadly poison. it is basically poison except it can kill you, sort of like wither, but you can still see your health bar. This item cannot be crafted. Also, another way to obtain it would be to buy it from the mage villagers whenever they are added. (Are they mages or wizards or priests? I don't know.) Those would be plans for the future. For now, maybe they are items found in dungeons and mine shafts. This item would have a few uses. Well first of all, you can eat it. Eating it would be pretty much suicide because it can kill you and the effect lasts longer than your health bar can handle. Another use would be to use it to make potions of deadly poison. Maybe it can be brewed from putting an apple in the potion slot and putting a fermented spider eye in the ingredient slot. Those are just some ideas, so you can post yours. Also, so the deadly poison potion obviously cannot be overpowered so maybe it lasts only long enough to remove half to two thirds of your health bar. I have made many suggestions in the past, but I think this one feels the most at home.
I don't like that there is an obvious visible difference to the poisoned apple... if you wanted to sucker people into it, you should make it a little harder to detect, such as looks like a good red apple, has the same name as an apple, but won't stack with other apples... hey....
Maybe, you take the poisoned apple and do something to it to disguise it. The only difference between the two at that point would be not being able to stack them together.
They should
However since there will probably be potatoes on the next updates, so will there be poisoned potatoes so if you don't get your stinky apple you get a more stinky potato
I really like this idea. I want there to be more things that you have to watch out for when playing minecraft and this is a really good step.

I'm scared to get close and I hate being alone.
I long for that feeling to not feel at all.
The higher I get, the lower I'll sink.
I can't drown my demons, they know how to swim.
I'm not entirely sure I see the point of a poisoned apple. The poison potato is already pretty useless... essentially a throw-away item, it's only function seems to be to reduce your edible potato yield.
If the goal is to covertly poison another player (meaning not just throwing a splash potion of harm at them) then a way to disguise a drinkable potion of harm as a health potion may be a better avenue.
This Is a remake of rotten flesh as a fruit. In other words, eat this crap when I'm lost In a cave and need food. I Don't even have an opinion for this. All I can say Is, It needs more uses.

I quite agree, One would not be stupid enough to eat a poisoned apple if it where green... well maybe a few people... but that's beside the point, I think it should look the same and be called the same thing but just stack separately from normal apples, as GregNelson stated, This would allow you to be able to tell that its poisoned but it wouldn't be as obvious as if it where green.
Because your argument was invalid? You are even farther in the hole of invalid right now. You just invalidated yourself even more.
First off I don't understand what you mean by this, please speak in complete thoughts; secondly a more accurate way to describe it would be a spider eye, accept more potent and longer lasting; and finally the best way to avoid starving in a cave would be to bring a stack of any sort of food with you. The End

All I'm saying Is, the Item Itself serves little to no point when such item already exist and take no more than a simple zombie kill to get. I've learned over a period of time that anything that make's minecraft "the slightest" bit difficult, It won't interest the players. Making an item related to another item (Rotten flesh) that is already RARELY used unless needed just seems a bit unnecessary
Rotten flesh inflicts a completely different effect on the player. It inflicts hunger which weakens your hunger bar faster, but poison is something that is completely different. You can use this to make potions of deadly poison as well. It also makes you have to watch out and not eat anything that you come across. I also have an idea. When you eat it, a green, evil looking face appears on your screen and fades slowly. That would be cool.
So.... basically... you have this green apple... that is ONLY dropped by witches... who never drop red apples... and it tells you that it is a poisoned apple why you hover over it in text... it nearly kills you when you eat it (should you be dumb enough to do so when there is practically a glowing neon sign over it saying "DON'T EAT/POISONED!!!"), and the only real use for it it to be able to transform it into a "Potion of Deadly Poison", which I assume you are thinking of PvP or PvE splash potions... which would be as caustic, if not more, than eating the poisoned apple itself.... or to be able to transform the apple to disguise it as a normal apple (simply based off my above suggestion), which would take time, effort and would really be nothing anyone would be interested in doing much more than once...ever... just to try it out.
When I first read the post, I was thinking "Sort of a cool 'Snow White' angle with the poisoned apple theme...", but then thought, Snow White ate the apple given to her in good faith BECAUSE she thought it was safe to eat... not because it was glaringly obvious that it was poisoned. (Hence my initial suggestion to totally disguise it from the start, and not make it a feature to be able to disguise it if you jump through 7 kinds of hoops).
Sorry, but I see no great value to adding this if it comes out as obviously being poisoned from the start... and your potions of deadly poison sound way too OP in general to use in PvP or PvE situations.

Could you say... Combine it with arrows somehow for poison arrows maybe?
Cause I don't see the point of something that's intentionally toxic and its only function is to poison those who eat it.
That's what I'm saying.
There are already potions that accomplish what a poisoned apple would do.
But poisoned arrows would be a great add.

this just makes me not wanna use It even more.
