There has been a lot of talk lately about putting god apples back into the game, a simple fix to this would be to enable god apples, but add a 5 minute cool down to eating a god apple, so people can not just jump in spamming god apples not dying, the same goes with pearls as removing them has been a topic of discussion lately. A plugin like this already exists, but is not for bukkit so wouldn't work on here.
