We talked about this item a lot for years.
There have been countless sugestiones and discossions about it.
A prominent suggestion is to make a brewing stand recipe for poisonous potatous.
A good suggestion imo when i think about what wikipedia says about potatoes.
Once their shell (or skin, remember i am a german) turns green, they are rather poisonous.
Then we had some threads about making them compostable, using our new composter block.
I don't understand why they aren't compostable.
Look, i have no clue about farming or composting in real liefe.
If i would actually try to compost cakes in RL,
i would get a million of rats before i would find 1 bonemeal in a RL composter.
But minecraft doesn't need to be logical. In fact, the composter is a very mysterious block.
I wonder, do you have another idea for the poisonous potato then what we have seen so far?
This item needs an update. Seems to me like mojang is waiting for a fun idea instead of a logical one.
Couple ideas off the top of my head, because yes, the utter uselessness of the poisonous potato is more than a little annoying. That being said, perhaps its use should reflect how annoying it is!
-The Poisonous potato can be shot out of a dispenser like a projectile and inflicts a minor poison effect. (Maybe normal potatoes can also be shot out of dispensers, but only do knockback and no actual damage?) This is making me hungry. Yes, potato cannons are possibly one of the most ridiculious ideas I've come up with thus far, but in all fairness, this is a game with explosive moss creatures, floating trees, and whatever the heck the bats are supposed to be.
-The Poisonous potato can be used to breed some obscure/weird creature type, or, (As it's used in the Quark Mod), to keep a baby animal in its young state forever. Though I imagine you'd feel a little awful about doing that.
-Add a new and complex modular cooking system, revolutionizing how food works in the game, and then give the poisonous potato some sort of use in that. I mean, why not? (Don't answer that.)
-Poisonous Potatoes can be used in the suspicious stew recipe? Or they have their own recipe that makes an unusual potion, to actually give this semi-rare object a reason for obtaining. Some ideas:
A Potion of Nausea that gives the nausea effect to a considerable degree.
A Potion of Hallucination that causes imaginary mobs to attack you, (Mobs that aren't really there), and other weird visual effects.
A Potion of Slime that creates a patch of incredible slickness when used as a throwing or lingering potion, and causes the user to have little or no friction and less control over their movement when drunk. This would be quite useful for transportation/pranks, and, admittedly, has very little to do with the Poisonous potato, but I digress.
-Why can't we plant poisonous potatoes to get even more poisonous potatoes? I mean, they're so useful! Better yet, what if the poisonous potatoes, when planted, had a chance of growing an even more poisonous, even more useless object! This will certainly solve the problem.

This kinda concerns me but you won't allow me to share my opinion.

Support!
Simply for adding them to suspicious stew. This could also work with rotten flesh and spider eyes imo.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
My projects:
-are abandoned for now. I might pick 'em up in the future.
For now i'm working on a private modpack that suit's my own playstyle.
I am gonna stay in modded 1.12.2 untill my potato dies. No mercy! :Q

1. Potato cannons actually do make sense. If you can make them IRL then why not in minecraft. It sounds fun to have.
2. Better cooking system. Yes, yes, yes. I agree 100% with this.
3. Useful for breeding some weird creature. Maybe pigs bred with this could a piglin that doesn't zombify in the overworld and end.
4. Potions. I like them all, I would be making hallucination potions, and have it active 24/7.
