Hey I after realizing the lack of drinks in minecraft i thought up of a couple of good ones! Now i know your saying "we've already got enough meats and sweets!", but what if the drinks provided special effects?
These are the ones I have thought up.
Cups- Like bowls, these are returned after consuming the drink. They are in every drink recipe and are crafted using one which provides two cups. they are stackable to 64
Glowater ( horrible name i know )
Crafted with one cup, Bucket of water, and one glowstone dust in a straight row.
This heals 2 hearts and make your character glow with a light level of a torch for four minutes
enabling you to go through caves or travel in the night without the constant placing of torches. You also glow underwater, making construction of underwater base easier!
Chocomilk
Crafted with One cup, One bucket of milk, two sugar, and one cocoa bean in a T formation
This heals 4 Hearts ( for the rarity of Cocoa . The sweetness of this drink provides a burst of sugary energy. Makes your Character run significantly Faster for three minutes, allowing you to outrun mobs and travel long distances
Herbal Drink
Crafted With one cup, one Red Flower, one Yellow Flower, one seed, and one sapling.
This heals 3 hearts and due to the natural fragrance of this drink Passive mobs (except Squids and dogs) will be attracted to you. Their spawn Rates will increase and the ones that see you will follow for three minutes. Good for early game when you need to collect resources from animals and building ranches.
Pumpkin Juice
Crafted With one pumpkin, one cup, and one sugar in a line.
Provides 2 and a half hearts. This drink reduces falling damage
by one third for three five minutes because of excess vitamins in minecraft pumpkins!
Cactus Water
Crafted by two cactus in a row ( no cup because this is suppose to be a desert drink where wood is not available and secondly because the second cactus acts as a container.)
This liquid stored inside cacti provides one heart. This is a quick method of food for those who spawn in deserts where there are no pigs to eat for wood to craft with. Drinking this leaves you with a cactus cup (The empty cactus container ) which is stackable to 8 and can be used in the cactus water crafting in place of the bottom cactus or used as a projectile using right click. It has a range of 3 block and deals a half a heart damage. Will break on contact with mob or block.
DRINK OF THE GODS
Crafted with a golden apple, 3 sugar, 2 buckets of water,a diamond, and a cup
DotG reduces all damage taken to a half a heart(armor does not add on to the reduction and will take durability loses from damage so it is recommended to take off), including lava and drowning (this means it takes 20 seconds to die in lava with full health)and also prevents being caught on fire for three minutes.
Protein Shake
Crafted with one cup, one bucket of milk, Cooked Fish, Cooked Porkchop, One Mushroom, one bone
Heals ten hearts. I Had two ideas for this drink, tell me which is best.
1.) The drink provides a massive boost to strength making your fists deal as much as a stone sword and speeds up breaking blocks with your hands. for four minutes
2.) This Drink's musty odor Scares off passive mobs away.
For five minutes
You can only drink one beverage at a time until the effects wear off (except cactus water). So you CANT for example drink pumpkin juice
and Chocomilk together and have both effects.
Making these drinks using buckets of water got me thinking that instead of needing to dig a 3x1x1 hole and filling it with water to get infinite water there should be a sink. Whenever right clicking on a sink with a bucket, it will fill it with water. It will also extinguish the player if he is on fire when right clicked. Im not sure about the crafting recipe but it should include a minecart/bucket for the bottom and a bucket of water,lever,and dispencer for the faucet.
I did not think of these things, i read about them as part of mods or other post, but i would like to have in vanilla minecraft.
Icebox: Freezes water into ice
Cauldron from Better than Wolves.
Except that it does not need to have a fire underneath, instead it will have a slot for fuel. You Put in all the items you want to cook and it cooks without you needing to be there.
Calling it an oven would be better. With the addition of this, cookies,cakes, and mushroom stew will have raw forms. Crafting these items in the crafting table will provide you with raw Stew, Cookie Dough, and Cake batter which will have to be placed ONLY in the Oven to cook.NOT THE FURNACE. However you are free to cook fish and other foods in the Furnace
The logic behind this is that how would you BAKE A CAKE USING RAW INGREDIENT WITH A HAMMER AND SAW?!?!?
A method to sleep during the day.
You know if you want to hunt mobs.
Scarecrow.
Keeps passive mob away an area. good for keeping crops from getting trampled.
Made with a pumpkin, wheat, sticks and leather.
really like all these ideas except you should make them so that they are better being that alot of them are rare such as choco milk and drink of the gods but besides that they are really great. Also the cauldron idea is good but it would get confusing if someone forgets to put different foods. :smile.gif:

This would make an interesting mod though.
Fine, how about an icebox? Crafted with snow and a chest. It turns water into snow.
