How to make both sides of the gapple argument happy

[Qin Shihuangdi]

With 1.12 coming around something could work to make both sides of this argument happy.

The suggestion is simple: Make it so golden apples will only give you the absorption and regen effects with no saturation. This will give you 3 hearts with 2 absorption hearts over 5 seconds. Although you can chug, in any mode the 1 heart healed per second will be outmatched by your sword. That being said, you can still do it strategically mid-fight but you can't chug them while being hit. For reference, steak will heal 4.5 hearts over 15 seconds in 1.12.

Vote in the poll.

This will be added to the revamped eggwars only. Classic eggwars will be unaffected in the event that the two indeed get split.

That would be so confusing for everyone. People play 1.9 for hours without ever noticing the attack cooldown. How are people supposed to notice weird changes like this? Don't change the way specific vanilla items work, please. They can replace apples with potions that give you absorption and regeneration, so it will be obvious they are not golden apples. But that would also remove the option to stack them.
