1.9 Updates: Possible Potions, Exciting Enchantments
Jeb has been discussing potions quite a bit lately - it seemed in the early stages of planning that potions would be brewed using a cauldron. However, recent comments strongly suggest that the cauldron is being replaced with a brewing stand (seen above).
In addition - Notch strongly hinted at an upcoming enchantment system, complete with an enchanting table or similar object (seen below). While he did confirm that it would cost Experience Points, have a 3-tier system and be "totally random", any other information on the topic has been somewhat cryptic.
With all the recent monster, item and biome additions to the game, one thing is for certain - 1.9 will be a feature-packed release!
I would only like that if it was more a system like in Nethack, not random but unknown as long as you don't use it in the correct way... It was a pretty tough system but was infinite fun :laugh.gif:
looks like gold to me.
First off, I may have to see how the potion stand works myself, but I'm much more in favor of the cauldron. Still, I like the aesthetic of the rack, and the idea itself might work, maybe as a first level alchemy station.
Next, the enchanting. The only problem I really have is that it cost EXP. I would like to hope that rather then in being ^&%$-all random, that it's only random when you're trying to LEARN spells. As you figure out enchantments, you can then use them again as needed.
Look on the bright side.ITS A FRIGGING BOOK COOL
