Interestingly enough the luck effect DOES actually work on dungeon chests, it's just it's effects are unseen because Mojang never bothered adding a "quality" to the items in their loot tables for dungeon chests. Luck isn't supposed to give you more loot or anything, it's supposed to give you better quality loot. Mojang would need to specify the quality of an item for each item in each dungeon chest loot table for luck to work properly, therefore giving those items a higher chance to be chosen. This actually works perfectly with mods that inject their own loot tables into dungeon chests and properly assign them different qualities. Give yourself luck and bam, it's all working.

I feel like a potion update is a genuinely good idea and could definitely change the meta, keep up the great work man!

[@JDvb23]

I would like an endgame potion update, maybe after you beat the elder guardians you can get an item that allows you to combine potions? I’d love to also have a brewable haste potion-and this would be great if you could mix haste and speed into one potion for endgame players, would be convenient for smaller builds where you don’t want to move your entire beacon

I remember somewhere Mojang said they don't want combined potions because it would be too OP or something but they can resolve this by making the potion effects weaker the more effects you add.

[@memyselfishness]

Or it could be random? Like, a flask you drink multiple times until each of the potions is gone.

[@quickkiller5070]

either that or make it so that in order to combine positive effects you had to throw in a negitive effect other wise it wont work (ex. speed + healing = unstable potion but speed + healing + poison = stable potion or usable potion

[@Isaac.cariani]

@@quickkiller5070 yeah that would be cool - or like each additional positive has a required negative that always comes with it(sort of like how turtle master is now)

[@maxe624]

I thought they didnt want it because it would teach kids to combine medicines for stronger effects irl, which is very dangerous. And I think kids would actually do that because they are very impressionable

[@limzhisheng2027]

i actually think potions in cauldrons will be so much cooler than putting required items in the brewing stand since you can use the colours of the potions to maybe use it as decorations and it is just way cooler in my opinion

[@Sleol]

Yeah I wished they used cauldrons instead of brewing stands

[@maximkovalkov1334]

Reminds me of what the Create mod does, which adds automatic potion brewing in “basins”. It‘a actually in line with the vanilla aesthetic, go figure!

[@MonicaMains]

Ik when I used to play mcpe you could use dye on the cauldrons with water to change the colours, adding more dye for more saturation or mixing dyes for different colours. Don’t know if it’s still a thing but that would be cool to implement in mc again cuz it was great for decorating. (It was also how u died leather armour)

[@TricknNuggets]

do you think that the darkness effect should be in a potion in 1.19? I think that right clicking with an empty bottle on one of the sculk blocks should give you the bottled effect, a bit like dragons breath in a way.

The one Potion I was always curious about wasn't even mentioned, damn. Was hoping to see something I didn't know yet abt the Potion of Decay. Awesome Video nonetheless^^ I wish they'd bring back the combined Potions by maybe adding something to the End to upgrade your Brewing Stand with. Or adding stronger yet harder to make Variants of Potions called Elixirs which could be "unlocked" only by defeating the Ender Dragon and/or the Wither.

[@KomradeKlonopin]

It would be sick if they added in a new "potion mixer" or something along those lines made from an item exclusive to the end or deep dark.

[@YeetThyMeat]

@@KomradeKlonopin Maybe they could add a new Potion with some Sculk Plant that makes use of the Darkness Effect while giving you Echolocation much like the Warden.

[@spyseefan975]

potion of decay would most likely be damage over time effect or even increased durability loss for a time

[@YeetThyMeat]

Oh the Potion itself exists and inflicts the Wither Effect. It's just only obtainable through Commands and only on the Bedrock Edition.

[@glassofwater281]

I feel like we should be able to brew potions of decay with wither roses. I mean if you are able to beat the Wither (especially on Bedrock edition) you deserve a poison that kills.

[@thesorenatorexe]

What if couldrons could be reworked so that you could pour up to three potions into them to combine their effects, thus resulting in up to 3 “composite” potions. That could be neat.

[@acman3207]

Honestly, I would love to see some sort of way to combine positive effects with other positive effects, same with harmful effects, since I always have a really messy inventory and find it hard to unstackable potions. Anyway, great video! Also, congratulations on 300k!

[@tenacity25]

Could give cauldrons an actual use

[@MahiAviation]

I feel like they should add more potions, in which the main ingredient is hard to get (such as something end-exclusive, etc)

[@breannin7542]

[@BigMastah79]

Okay, what would it do? Adding new potions is hard because the effects needs to like, do something.

[@SemiHypercube]

And Java still doesn't have potion cauldrons to this day (and potions of decay, though granted those can only be obtained in creative mode like the luck potion) seriously why are tipped arrows so much more expensive on Java than bedrock

[@IshaanOP07]

6:20 they may be still there as they either make the potion last longer or stronger. We use those ingredients (glowstone dust, redstone dust) to enhance the potion thus they first need to exist to combine them with the main potion.

[@WinterHE]

It is 2022 and after quite a long time I still have no clue on how to brew potions, the only potions I ever used were the ones found in the world, I'm a Boomer and I find the current brewing system needlessly complex, it pretty much forces you to use the wiki.

[@thepikminbrawler1746]

Just put some blaze power in a brewing stand, get some water bottle and use nether wart in the top slot to make awkward potions. From there choose the type of potion you want. Glistening melon for healing, blaze powder for strength, ghast tear for regeneration. From there red stone makes the potion last longer, gunpowder makes it throwable, dragon’s breath make it stick on the ground and glowstone makes it more powerful. There are other recipes for different effects put that’s the gist of it

[@plushiepenguin]

It really isn't that complicated. You make a base (Awkward potion) then brew ingredients into give an effect (golden carrot, ghast tear, rabbits foot, and blah etc) then brew in modifiers (fermented spider eye to reverse effect, gunpowder for splash, redstone adds time, glowstone for power). It's all just adding.

[@endershost5588]

2:50 I completely disagree, having to put in effort and time to create potions would add a whole new layer of depth to the game

[@PlanetEarth1369]

Perhaps we can have both. The current system can be for beginners, while we could have a more complex system to brew more powerful and mix effects

[@Mallowu]

I love the idea of randomly generated potions or just something like that. It would make it so much fun to still have something to learn and explore every single time you make a new world. Also, there are book and quills, that means we can just write down all ingredients needed to make each potion. I think something like this would fit perfectly.

[@Trizoo_cn]

being able to have more than one effect or a longer singular effect would solve a lot of the problems potions have in my eyes. but you would probably have to figure out some extra cost to brew longer effect or double effect potions because there's not much of a difference between one sugar and five sugar once you build a reed farm.

I would actually prefer them to go back to the idea of randomly generated potion recipes. But it would be better to expand the potion ingredients to include gems, flowers, leaves, etc. But, seeing as trial and error is no fun, having a craftable book or something that allows you to document and explore potion brewing, as well as give you hints at ingredients, would be really fun imo. Also cauldrons are useless, it should take slightly more time to brew in them, but yield 5-6 potions per.

[@bjorn6084]

I like your idea. Maybe being able to brew with lava and honey would be cool too. And if brewable with a brewing stand, the potion is retrievable via bottle, but maybe if in cauldron, it can be retrievable via bucket, which means you could place the liquid potion on the ground for it to flow as a liquid. Like imagine a form of liquid speed potion, where when placed in a straight path, allows you to move very fast.

[@flirora]

> I would actually prefer them to go back to the idea of randomly generated potion recipes. I agree; in fact, I’d like to see more randomly generated recipes in the game. Still, I find it unlikely to occur since many players might feel annoyed and such a system might not play well with data packs. > having a craftable book or something that allows you to document and explore potion brewing We already have written books for that, though they don’t have the ingredient hint parts. Flowers as ingredients would also be interesting, since they’d get more uses beyond decoration. I think suspicious stew kind of implemented that idea, though.

[@lolglolblol]

I wish mojang would overhaul Minecraft's magic systems (including both brewing and enchanting) because they're pretty broken and kinda boring right now

[@tannerrich2388]

agreed. they leave a lot to be desired. also, i know its slightly off topic, but i would like to see more in world crafting such as the beacons or concrete.

[@TyrianTelikos]

The uncraftable potion exists as a default so if exploits are found, they will be harder for players to use, same reason as why mob spawners default to pigs.

[@tgnm9615]

Stackable potion will be very useful. If it stackable to 16 like honey bottles. It will greatly reduce the amount of space being use in inventory

[@JoshyRB]

I really want more magical and mystical things in Vanilla Minecraft. Like imagine being able to craft wands to cast spells, that would be so cool! There would be Mana, Spell Books, etc.

[@TrideGD]

The cauldron system would be SO MUCH BETTER! Keep brewing stands for splash and lingering potions, but have the cauldrons make the potions. Same effects as the brewing stands, maybe you can combine 2 or 3 potion effects, and it would've been perfect. It's not that user friendly and requires a lot of memorization but so does brewing stands, and I'd argue that less gui is actually better. I genuinely hope that they update potion making soon to use the cauldron, because rn outside of Redstone, they're basically useless

[@erikfassett]

For some information on luck, it's actually easy to prove that it only applies to fishing. Within the loot table files, there are two values, "quality" and "bonus rolls". Quality affects the chance an item spawns, and bonus rolls increases the number of times a loot table rolls a specific pool of items. When generating the loot, all quality and bonus roll values are multiplied by your current luck value, which by default is 0. Both of these values are the only ways luck can actually affect loot. However, all loot tables except for fishing have all quality values and bonus rolls set to 0, leading to no effect. (And, fishing only uses the quality value, it doesn't use bonus rolls). The reason only fishing uses luck is because of the Luck of the Sea enchantment on fishing rods, which increases your luck value specifically for fishing. Each level of the enchantment increases your luck value by 1, up to a total of 3. While it seems like Mojang has largely scrapped their plans regarding luck, it is still rather useful for map and datapack makers as they can utilize the effect with their own custom loot tables (or even modifying vanilla loot tables to also be affected by luck).

[@Vlauxa]

It is so weird to see the potion talk come full circle as if nobody knew anything about this before. Also BTW did you know about custom nbt potions, they can be created of any color and any amount of any effect.

[@sixtakefives5325]

I think it would be cool to have a sort of tutorial structure for potions, kinda like the unfinished redstone machines that spawn in Ancient Cities. That might work well with a more complicated potion revamp as well, although potion brewing in its current state is confusing enough as is

[@MrMadness1]

I think the old potion system should come back. It would give a purpose to cauldrons and being able to create so many diverse potions sounds cool.

[@TyrianTelikos]

I think that an alchemy style update would be awesome, personally. I also love the idea of brewing potions in a cauldron, similar to the Eidolon Mod's crucible, but I can't think of a way to incorporate it with brewing stands, and I would hate to see those go.

[@endershost5588]

4:40 gui in games is a result of unintuitive mechanics, that need to be explained, which isn't a good thing. If it was an immersive/intuitive mechanic then it wouldn't need a ui to be understood and used, even by new players

[@TheAdvertisement]

Honestly it'd be nice if the enchanted effect was removed from them. There's like no reason to have it, and it actually hinders their design considering you're supposed to be able to differentiate them by color, and that's hard if there's a purple, constantly shifting filter over them.

[@jan_harald]

well, the "no effect" potions could well be rather useful with command creations! I'm no commandeer, but I know that you can check for "on use" for items, with those potions, you could basically give custom effects to players, such as "potion of detection" that makes every entity within a range glow (and thus be seeable through walls), or even stuff like "potion of spectating" that temporarily puts you into spectator mode, for like, a few seconds, with optifine for example, you can also change textures based on item name (there's texture packs using this that add MASSIVE amounts of cosmetic items), which would allow effectively infinite custom potions, and you could use the two different types to distinguish between the "tiers", or "types", like maybe one that has a custom crafting recepie, but can only be used to create arrows, and another that's normal effect, or something, idk

[@snowballkitty48]

Odorless and stinky potions should be added back to make it easier or harder for the warden to smell you

One method of obtaining the uncraftable potion, in SURVIVAL. Is to revert back to a version before 1.16, placing your potion in an enchantment table, and you're done. That easy

[@Sollace]

9:26 Minor correction: The luck/unluck potions were added before loot tables existed in this way. They were originally intended to give you better loot when fishing.

[@jasonheath7045]

Today Bedrock Edition players can fill Cauldrons with potions and make tipped arrows earlier before going to the end. In 1.17 we could refill the potion filled cauldron by using Dripstone but this feature was soon removed (cause the devs said it was too overpowered) luckily we can still manually fill the cauldrons with potions and get our tipped arrows early. It's much easier and quicker than having to get dragon's breath to make lingering potions that each one can only make 8 tipped arrows. I'm actually surprised it isn't a feature in Java.

[@Miki_Naz]

Imo Brewing system should get a rework. -all effects should be brewable (aside from things like dolphin's grace and conduit power) -more potions like Turtle Master Potion (2 effects, one very strong positive, one negative) -more alternative uses for potions like curing zombie villagers -less resource efficient way to get tipped arrows in the early game. -different potions available to create depending on the stage of the game (before nether, after nether, after end). For example, weak and "natural" effects like Poison, Hunger, Nausea, should be avalible from the start, stronger effects like regeneration, fire resistance, water breathing, Wither effect, should be available after entering Nether, and completely magical effects like Slow falling and Levitation only after entering the End

[@darkbooger]

Imagine if Minecraft had near Skyrim levels of potion combinations, sounds like that'd really shake things up.

[@Yotanido]

I had no idea you could brew potions before brewing stands were added... and I probably played that version. Started playing some time in early Alpha.

honestly, i kinda prefer the old brewing method more then the current one. with a little bit of tweaking, i can definitely see it actually working pretty well in minecraft.

[@UniversalSketch]

Potions are in major need of an overhaul. The original system sounds fun especially since the current one is way too straightforward in execution with the base and invert system. Also if they updated potions they could potentially go a bit out there with potion effects or add new inversions! Imagine if inverted fire resistance potions where added so you could ignite people with potions they also could add more interesting potions like turtle master where you get a little and lose a little.

[@corktail7900]

i never used the potion brewing mechanic in survival, but if it was like the pre-release version where you could make potions with multiple effects, it would be much more interesting. imagine exploring potion brewing and making a potion that gives you haste but also weakness, or protection but also slowness

you didn't even mention the fact that you can technically generate any custom potion using commands ;P or at least you could in 1.13, which is the latest I found an actual command generator for, lets you edit what color you want, what effects you want, how long for, each effect, etc etc (so you could have infinite duration for all good effects, for example, or an infinity glow splash potion)

i actually really like the cauldron idea, that would be good for building and would be really fun. i think they should add a "potion sash" or something, that would be a good way to encourage the use of potions in the late game

[@StootWorts]

I honestly think the cauldron brewing method should be added alongside the current brewing stand system. The brewing stand could be the entry level potion making system for new players and for people who just want to pump out quick and specific effects. Cauldron brewing could then be a more advanced brewery method with less predictability and more experimentation and time required, but allowing for the creation of more complicated potions with multiple effects. Maybe this is me just wishing that cauldrons had a use outside of decoration and very rare redstone circumstances, but I do think it would add a really fun and interesting layer of complexity and mystery to a system that is frankly a bit boring and tedious once you know how it works.

I think the luck system as it is now makes sense to be unused because it's clearly not in a finished state. If we had access to luck potions and they made a difference on chest loot, then all that would happen is you would never want to touch a chest without one of your luck potions, and you would argue with your friends about making sure you open every chest with max luck. Looting and Fortune already kind of have this effect, but it's not such a big deal because they ultimately just generate more of a thing you can already get, rather than increase the likelihood of getting something you might just miss entirely, like well-enchanted gear from chests or mending books.

i actually think the cauldrons system would've been so cool. also the stackable potion effects, we need those in the game!

[@UnformedPond416]

I wish the old system still existed, it is so cool!

When you drank "Potion of No pressure" I immediately subscribed.

[@El_Presidente_5337]

I didn't knew that cauldrons are so old. But I hav a font memory of this different brewing system. Maybe I thaught that it was a mod when I watched a video back then.

[@Gentleman_33]

2:40 there would probably be some mod or website that would detect which recipes you would need

[@JustJamesNotJerry]

I hope they revamp the brewing system at some point, maybe like the crafting book there could be a brewing book since brewing is a bit less intuitive. I also think potions should be able to stack, perhaps up to 4 per stack? Yes I know about the combat snapshots where they stack up to 16, but in my opinion I think 16 is way to high, it makes them extremely powerful and unbalanced. I think even 8 is to many, but 1 is to little and results in people not using potions all to often because of how much inventory space they take up.

[@FriskyD.]

I still want them to be stackable, but just to three I also think the original system could be tweaked to work nowadays, maybe it's how you stack effects? By just putting different potions in the same cauldron?

6:20 Maybe they were left to punish you for inputting the wrong ingredients?

Was about to sleep.

[@jan_harald]

potions deffo should be in cauldrons...not the least because otherwise cauldrons are basically useless, other than for some redstone trickery, or such

[@flirora]

You can collect lava and powdered snow in them as well.

[@Thensi72]

Finally the info I've been wanting for a long time :)

[@charKT-7461]

I genuinely keep forgetting potions exist even though they're extremely overpowered. The only potion I actually use is weakness for curing zombie villagers.
