Punching trees apart...
diamond gems as tools...
alternate dimensions...
zombies...
magical glowing dust...
Doesn't sound very realistic to me. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're dead wrong in hating potions.
im going to go out on a limb and say that generally, religion is an alternate dimension , zombies are going to take over,and cocaine has a nice shimmer, dont you think? They use unclear, or foggy diamonds(not good enough for jewelry) in special saws, and im sure many other things, as they are the hardest mineral.
To be honest, the game doesn't really feel like Minecraft any more. It just doesn't have that survivalist theme, with no goal at all. Now it just feels different. Honestly I like 1.7.3 more than 1.8 because it still feels like Minecraft.
First of all this should be in the 1.9 Discussion page.
Second of all , I respect your opinion , you don't like potions and stuff because its too "common" to you , I know alot of people that don't like the new things that are being added to MineCraft in 1.9. I personally LOVE what is being added , because MineCraft is taking its OWN Turn. It isn't copying ANY Game , at all , they are adding what they think is unique and special to MineCraft , So what if Terraria has potions? ALL Rpg games have potions. Are you saying they all copied eachother? Can you put fermented spider eyes in your brewing stand in Terraria? Can you kill 10 Endermen with a wooden sword in World of Warcraft?
Besides , if you don't like it , you don't need to post a thread about it. Its getting annoying all these people who "I DON'T LIKE 1.9! ITS TO RPGISH" "Minecraft...Where'd you go?" Suck it up like a man , Nobody is FORCING You to use the potions and stuff. Its YOUR Choice , Thats what MineCraft is all about.
What's the point of complaining? It's not going to change the fact that potions are going to be added. Personally, I like the addition of potion-making.

I honestly like potions, their fun and very useful. and who cares if their a little unoriginal. i think minecraft needs something like these, And if not potions what would you add to replace them? something less used in games...
I can't think of 5 games off the top of my head that have had a potion brewing system allowing for thousands of different combinations of potions depending on the types of ingredients you collect..
The way Minecraft does potions, or anything else it draws from other games for that matter, has it's own unique charm. Notch doesn't always make super-original ideas (potions, for example), but they still have some way to be different.
This is Minecraft. It does not revolve around potions, or villagers, or the Nether, or Ender, or dragons, or strongholds. It's main focus is to be unique, and it does that well.

Please learn how to use google. My grandfather knows how to, I think you can too.
How does it remove any of the uniqueness from the game? You craft them on a brewing stand using elements that don't exist in ANY OTHER GAME, and the system for making them is COMPLETELY UNIQUE. Minecraft is the same game, it is still jsut as unique. In fact, putting it this way, several games have dirt! Several games have bows, arrows, swords, and explosives! Several games have WALKING!
I see no reason why potions should not be a part of Minecraft.
This is the natural evolution of the game. If you don't like it, find an old version and play that. All of these stupid f'ing threads about "OH NOES MY MINECRAFTS R RUINED!!!" are just plain retarded. You bought a game in the beta state. You should have expected it to change a lot before it reaches full version.
All very good points and I do agree that Minecraft gets a bit boring and needs more game content. I do have faith that the devs are doing what they think is right to make the game better.
Honestly, unless you're afraid that you're going to accidentally craft, brew, and consume potions, there's no good reason to say that those who DO want them can't have them.

I tried playing real life. The graphics were alright, the gameplay was .
I personally think it's a bad idea. Minecraft itself is a unique game, there isn't many similar games. If you thought of any other gaming category for example FSP, you can probably name 3 off the top of your head. Adding potions makes Minecraft less unique. Lets face it, it's been done before, in many many games even Terraria!
Why does Minecraft need to copy ideas of other games when it has things that are so Minecrafty. Creepers, endermen, redstone.
I like the reality of Minecraft (with a few exceptions). All these things that are being added like potions just put Minecraft in the fantasy category, and I can name about 5 fantasy games off the top of my head.
Minecraft isnt unique in fact there are tons of other games like minecraft " all of them have there pros and cons " in fact minecraft is based of infaminer. I bet this has been brought up before but, don't like potions? then don't use em. plus minecraft already has some stereo typical enemies " Giant slime, giant spiders, zombies , and skeletons"

Your a such a great friend that if we were both in a falling plane and there was only one parachute... I would feel really bad and think of you often.

SCP-173.
It is kind of like enderman, when you look at it it freezes, when you blink it gets closer, eventually killing you.
I found an SCP archive file somewhere, let me look for it..

But to more serious news.

...Energy bars?
Magic Chest Mod - Wood On Steroids.
"Will you be eating that cake?...
Say what you want, but I will be taking the cake."
I think they're a great but optional addition to the game. Now I can see a lava lake and say, "Fire resistance, let's walk to those diamonds!".
Minecraft is a unique game. Blocks, monsters, mining, etc.
Adding a new feature that in no way affects those other features somehow makes the game less unique?
How old are you? I don't think you thought this through very well.

(fyi, I think creative mode was a great idea to add the the actual game, and I think the same with potions.)
I see no reason why potions should not be a part of Minecraft.
I can't wait. :biggrin.gif:
That's not a very good example.
No explanation required.
