So, one of my favorite things about this game is all the crafting. However, I think that the crafting of special items could be more expansive. In brief, I believe that the addition of more food and higher tier and specialty potions would be pretty amazing. Now, let me explain exactly what I mean.
Food:
Goal: To encourage the user to invest time in other types of food depending on what they are doing be it PVP/PVE, RP, or simple Exploration/Farming.
As it stands, the main purpose of food is just to regain health and really, the crafting and use of food is basically aesthetic. There's no real reason you would want to make say a stack of cookies as opposed to a couple of stacks of easily farmable watermelon. However, what if you could make slightly more complicated food? RP wise, it makes our chefs happier. For everyone else, there could be another benefit. What about Food buffs?
Let's take one of the first food recipes that we know. Cooked Pork! By itself, it just gives us a few hunger bars. But if we combined it with a new crop "Spice" we could give the piece of pork a simple ability to keep you fuller longer.
Another one. Beef + Carrots + Mushrooms + Potatoes + Wooden Bowl + Spice would cause you to take less damage for a certain amount of time.
Here's another. Craft Bread to Breadcrumbs and add that to Chicken and Spice to make Fried Chicken.
Last one. Wheat and Spice to make Spiced Bread which simply awards more hunger bars.
These are just a couple ideas and suggestions. Spice, as I imagine it, should be farmable and should be fairly rare. However, once it's farmed, it's rarity is not particularly important.
Potions
Potions are great, I looooove them. However, I think we can do even greater things with them.
Goal: To make potions feel even more epic and give you special potions.
We have strength potions, swiftness potions, fire resistance potions, and even regeneration potions. However, what if potions gave us the ability to fly and hover, run at blazing fast speeds, be able to crush blocks and enemies with our bare hands, and even have the essence of Herobrine. However, how would we make it?
Let's add another tier or two to potions and make them interact with items.
First up is the explanation of one of the new ingredients. "Diamond Dust" Made by taking a single diamond in the crafting table to yield 3 Diamond dust. This process is irreversible. This is a potion ingredient we will use to make our potions more powerful.
Fire Resist Potion+Glowstone Dust-> Fire Resist II (Enemies take fire damage on melee hit. Lasts 3 minutes) + Diamond Dust->Potion of Shining Fire (when holding a blaze rod, you may fire 3 semi automatic fireballs with a cooldown of 5 seconds. Potion Lasts 90 seconds)
Potion of Strength II+Diamond Dust-> Potion of Shining Strength (Players melee attacks increase by 5 Hearts damage and player has the ability to break blocks with their bare hands. Blocks cannot be picked up.)
Potion of Swiftness + Diamond Dust-> Potion of Shining Swiftness (When wearing a pair of wings [crafted from feathers] the player can leap high into the air (30 blocks) and maneuver themselves to the perfect landing spot)+Ender Eye->Potion of Spectacular Flight (Player has full control of their ability to fly and hover for 3:00)
Combine Potion of Shining Fire + Potion of Shining Strength + Potion of Spectacular Flight/Potion of Shining Swiftness to make Essence of Herobrine which combines the effects for 10 seconds and increases their potency.
Oh and not related to the whole diamond dust thing, Awkward potion+Fish->Potion of water breathing derpyderpyderp
Yes, this would be a good idea. I support it. Some foods should just restore health though. I would recommend adding a grinding table for spice and other things and also maybe a cooking pot?
I was thinking that and I am glad someone else brought it up. I didn't want to mention it for fear of cluttering up the post.
