Yes, I know emerald has ONE more use, but it ONLY has 2 uses, and ask yourself, WHAT does GHAST TEARS and MELONS with gold nuggets jammed in them have to do with regeneration and healing!? Cause if Ghast tears gave you regeneration I would go around making ghasts cry, and MELONS WITH GOLD NUGGETS JAMMED IN THEM, HOW do they heal?! Do they make you choke and respawn with full health!?
The point is that it doesn't matter if it makes no sense, I think it depends more on being CREATIVE !
So, your saying adding something that doesn't make sense is creative? Is that seriously what you define as creative? If you were being creative, then you would make your suggestion logical and original rather than finding cheap alternatives. By your logic, having diamonds give Nausea Potions would be creative.
Oh, and by the way, just because there are 2 potion ingredients currently in the game that do not make sense, does not instantly make logic insignificant towards future implementations. Especially when all the other potion ingredients in the game actually do make sense, or at least partial sense.
Ok, you don't see ME throwing melons with gold nuggets in MY drink! I would die of choking!
DON'T JOIN THE SQUID ARMY JOIN THE SKY ARMY
Mate, Minecraft doesn't have to be completely realistic. It is a game for god's sake. If that were the case, then Creepers would be replaced with actual suicide bombers, zombies wouldn't be in the game, and ironically potions wouldn't exist, and would probably be replaced with medicine. The list goes on...
Well if you eat suggar you get kind of more power (glucose give you sort of a "brain boost") so it make you think faster.
And Carrots are good of the eyes
The first question that pops into my mind is... Why Emeralds? Why not Lapis Lazuli? Emeralds already have an use, next to decoration, and Lapis doesn't!
Well, except for decoration and dyes, which mostly are used for decoration.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't the enchantment system changing to require lapis?

Sky's "fans" are annoying little jerks who go around screaming at people to bow down to their ruler. Sky himself has repeatedly said that even he doesn't like his fan army, yet here you are ruining his name. What kind of "fan" are you.
Emerald are the currency in the game and I don't think it should have another use besides it.
I don't see the point of making a jump boost potion out of emeralds...
No support.
Yep because emeralds totally have MAGICAL properties! But in all seriousness this is not a good idea. Emeralds are currency and will always be currency. No support.
OK PEOPLE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD ADD TO THIS SUGGESTION INSTEAD OF SAYING "WELL DUH EMERALDS CAN'T BE USED AS JUMP BOOST, NO SENSE DUHHHHHH!"

If we did that, it would be our suggestion, not yours. Besides, our idea on improving this thread generally seems to be letting it die because Emeralds are fine how they are.

Omegapr1m3 nice idea. Yes people I know that emerald is currency but once people stock up on emeralds they're like "WAIT WHAT!? I don't need all these emeralds!" so adding another use is gonna be good.

Money in real life doesn't have more than one use, however, people don't say "WAIT WHAT!? I don't need all this money!" when they have lots of money. Emeralds are currency, nothing more.
The reason that Emeralds aren't that valuable is because trading is not that valuable. So, instead of giving Emeralds more uses, I think that trading should be made more useful and diversified. This would include more trades, and items that can only be received via trades.
money only has value because of how hard u work for it, no one on any server i know of would even think of selling a diamond sword with epic enchantments for even 30 emeralds, i certainly would not, but i would sell it for diamonds cuz their pretty hard to get and they are usefull, things get value from use not looks. people dont use dollor bill cuz their a beutiful green, but royalty in the past made deals with gold silver and diamonds and iron because they had their uses but gold has one use and so no one really mines for gold, but everyone wants diamonds, so if we add uses for emeralds than people will use them as currency more willingly

No, money has value because we give it value. Though, thousands of years ago, they didn't have currency. Instead, they traded items that had some value (whether it is little or high). People traded things like food, cattle, wool; things that they needed to survive.
Also, no. That is extremely contradictory. If we give emeralds more use, people won't use them as currency.
in my experiance i have noticed people trade things that have a high use to rarity ratio.. Something that is very rare like diamonds which can be used for armor weapons and tools is traded more often than lapis gold OR emeralds because people need them more and so place more value in them
Emeralds do have a use; they are used to trade with villagers. They are not useless as you make it seem. Not everything in the game has to have a plethora of uses. Everything has its own use, and some items have multiple uses. However, that does not mean that they are "useless".
Even so, Emeralds do not make any sense as Jump Boost potions. Emeralds would make more sense as some sort of fortune potion, if anything. At least Ghast Tears and such have some relation to their respective potion. You also left out the ones that do make sense, such as Sugar for Swiftness, and Carrots for Night Vision.
No support!
^ Agree. Emeralds have plenty of uses, all of which are unique. ex: villager trading, decoration, etc.
