Correct, only god/notch apples (Enchanted) will be removed. Regular golden apples are fine.
Ocean Towns
Going your own way
A small update on Ocean Towns. There's been so much data recently I don't even remember what I've said but whatever we have or haven't said about this in the past, ocean towns will be allowed with some caveats. Ocean Towns are meant to be isolationist. Basically you're a pirate if you want to be. Ocean Towns hold no allegiance and do not participate in the greater territory battles that land-lubbers engage in. You're choosing a slightly more cut-off lifestyle by choosing a life at sea. The following are the restrictions of founding a town in the Wild Seas:
Go Forth!

The following are the restrictions of founding a town in the Wild Seas:
- Ocean Town Generators must be built on the surface of the water or above (64y+). This is because Ocean Towns can still be sieged (whatever that someday means).
- Ocean Towns cannot participate in Conquest. I'm sure people just love fighting on floating TGen platforms and whatnot, but it's all just too silly!
- Ocean Towns cannot form Alliances. As of right now they cannot ally with anybody, but that could change in the future. Rumors of an alliance of the seas shouldn't be ruled out.
- Ocean Towns cannot vote for Capital. They care not about who is Capital. As such, Continental policies chosen by the Capital of that Continent do not affect Ocean Towns.

Get to know your Continent!
What you need to know to stay in school
Of course you all know that resources in the world are specific to both biomes and continents. For the most, we're leaving the discovery of "what's where" as an exercise for the player. However, there are some things we feel are important enough that you guys oughta know so you don't make a town and then find out you've made a huge mistake.
It's not much that we're revealing here, but here's what we feel you should know:

- Cows can only be found in the West continent.
- Sheep can only be found in the North continent.
- Pigs can only be found in the South continent.
- Emerald Ore can only be found in the North
- Sugar Cane can only be found and farmed in river biomes. You will not be able to grow your own sugar cane unless you're doing so in a river biome. There are rivers in all three continents, of course, so choose wisely if having a supply of sugar cane is important to you.

Animals can be transported on boats, but you cannot breed 'foreign animals' and they cannot be bred on any continent but their own.
You'll have to look around on that one.
Both wheat and Oak trees can be grown anywhere so you will always have a source of wood and food wherever you are. Some biomes will of course come with the benefit of being able to grow more than just these two basic resources.
All seeds will be available yes but they can only be grown in specific biomes.

A few questions. I assume pumpkins and melons will only grown in their cosponsoring biomes. But which biomes does that include for pumpkins? Also will potatoes, Carrots and the new Beetroot come 1.9 only have specific biomes in which they can grow?

Yes all of those foods will be unique to certain biomes. In most cases there are more than one biome that can grow them though.
that's a interesting question.
My question is are we going to update the map come 1.9 or are we going to do some for of a reset again
Wait so if emerald ore can only be found in the northern continent, what will the towns run on?
something different from emeralds, or just emeralds (but it just being harder too find)
