This thread will present you the new ore I have in my mind - the Lithe Ore, or what I infrequently call it, Powerstone.
Lithe Ores are found at level 3 to 30, and most commonly found between level 12 and 16. Unlike most other ores, when it is mined, it drops a Lithe Shard, which has a copper-like color. The shard cannot craft into tools or armor, but can be used for enhancing + brewing purposes.
Lithe can be used to brew potions. When it is combined with a Thick Potion, it creates Potion of Nightspot. It allows you to see better at dark areas and at night-time, but when it's corrupted, (via Fermented Spider Eye) however, it becomes a Potion of Darkspot, which causes the light you see to become dimmer (cuts light level you see by 30%), but the light level stays the same.
It can also be used with an Awkward Potion to brew a Potion of Swimming. As it suggests, it allows you to move faster on the surface of water and underwater (though Potion of Swiftness can do that), but can be corrupted to create a Potion of Drowning, which causes you to "weight" more on water and fall down - and would be an excellent slowing potion on PvPs that takes place on water.
Now for the second part - Lithe can be used to enhance fuel. No, not increase its uses, but makes it burn faster. It can be achieved by adding Lithe with coal (fuel example), which will create Lithe Coal. It burns faster but has the same amount of "uses" (8) - amount of items it can smelt/cook before it goes down.
I hope you like my idea! Constructive criticism is appreciated.
Doesn't using it with a thick potion basically just have the same effect as changing the brightness setting?
I don't understand what you mean, but if you're referring to the Potion of Darkspot, the light level (you see) drops by 30% on all brightness settings.
Little opinion on the material itself, but the fuel-catalyst has me interested. Sometimes you need to forge things en masse and it can be slow waiting, even if you have a 400-furnace factory working overtime.
I like the idea of faster smelting, but I'd rather any new ores, if they're added are nether ores, especially if they double as potion-making ores. While I feel one of the nether ores should also happen to be for tools bridging the iron-diamond gap (alongside it's potion-making, possibly enchantment enhancing ability), I feel that if we ever get ores in the nether or even in general, they should mainly be for potions and enchantment enhancing. I also feel vice-versa about potion-making ores, meaning any new ore that can be used for potion-making is a nether ore.
Note the bolded "new." If any pre-existing ores gets a new use for potions, I'm okay with that, but if any new ores get introduced and they're used for potion making, they should be a nether ore, not an overworld ore.

"I don't plan to add a new dimension at the moment. It's just to performance heavy on servers, and the current dimensions need more attention before we start adding new ones." < Yeah, like biomes or actual varied terrain in the nether. Nether ruins didn't do the trick at all.
