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.
No, no. You are really onto something here.
Snow White ate the apple because the old hag/Evil Queen told her it was an Apple of Wishing - that if she ate the apple her wish would come true.
So, instead of the text calling it a "poisoned apple" it would say "Wishing Apple". That way nobody will ever get it confused with a normal apple, AND they would think it was safe to eat.

(only kidding - this is still a bad idea).
LOL......
Well, they'd only have to eat it once and go.. "okay.... that apple... is BAD" Lol.
I feel that there should be two variants, both being found in the mine shaft. A green version that is called a poisoned apple, and a red disguised version that is just called poison apple.
I like the idea. We already have Golden Apples, so we should add poison apples.
In the PC version, they have poisonous potatoes, which are similar to the Poisoned Apple that you are suggesting, but I don't believe the Potatoes kill you.
So this would be a nice addition to the game.

IMO, Labeling an apple as poisoned is pointless UNLESS it is an ingredient to other recipes of some sort (craftin/potion), no idiot is going to sit there and just eat them. "Herp Dee Derp... Hey look!!! One o' dem poison't applez... Ahh shure em hung-ray, Ahh bet dis iz sum good eats!!!! NOM! NOM! NOM! NOM! Mmmmm...Mmmmm!!! Det shure waz gud! HURK! <thud>"

Lol.....
Yeah agreed.
If there was more you could do with it, like I'm not sure if I said this already.. But maybe have it be able to be combined with arrows in some way to make poison arrows.

So it's not that obvious that it's poisoned
Again.... What is the point of the Green Apple that is called a "Poisoned Apple"? ... and I'm well aware of the suggestion for the red 'disguised' apple, especially since I was the one that made that suggestion. But if you label that one 'poison apple' it sort of defeats the purpose of disguising it as red in the first place.
I tend to go on extensive caving expeditions to replenish my resources and often wind up lost in a cave with very little food left. I've learned to rely on the "as-a-last-resort" method of eating rotten flesh to heal. Its not as underrated as you might think... though I still think there should be a 9 zombie flesh = 1 leather recipe.
I was just trying to add to the thing to have it be something other than something you eat and that's it that's all. That thing you said works just fine too. In fact, I don't know why we don't try anyway.

I eat it all the time.. No problem.
But I mostly save it for the dogs, because they can eat that stuff and no problems ever occur to them, as far as I know. So I primarily use it for the dogs but I do eat it quite often mysef.

I would rather it just look and be named the exact same as a standard apple... But on occasion have it be a rare occurrence of being a poisoned apple when you eat behaves the same way as rotten flesh. I don't see why not.
Because like you said.. unless it actually serves a purpose in being able to be used in a way that benefits the player a bit.. Why have it added?
Having it just be a standard apple that occasionally poisons would add some challenging element to the game I think. It would make it so it's not always easy etc.
In fact.. I'd be supportive if on occasion all food did that. Not every single piece of food you eat in real life is perfectly able to be eaten and not every single thing you drink is still good always.
You could argue with what I said there that you'd be.. not very observant if you didn't notice the cheese in your fridge didn't have mold on it, but sometimes you don't always notice that. Sometimes you just drink a glass of milk and realize "oh this is sour".

Poisonous potatoes are labeled "poisonous" so why can't these. You are a hater

What is the point of the red disguised version if it is called "poison apple"? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of making it disguised in the first place?
Yeah I think that was a typo. I think it should be visually indistinguishable from the normal apple but they don't stack together. This would force you to be smart when entering mine shafts and bring plenty of food, as you can't rely on what is in the chests.

I still don't understand what the point of this is.
If the only purpose is to trick a player into accidentally poisoning themselves why not just suggest that regular apples have small chance to poison the player, like how rotten flesh has a small chance to NOT poison a player.
Either way you will only succeed at shying people away from apples altogether (if they haven't been already).

Potion of poison + arrows = Poison arrows
No need to add a useless item to accomplish this.
