Have you ever wanted to escape from a mob before you get smacked to death? Maybe you see a mob out of reach but is going to knock you into lava soon. Look no further! Meet the Blindness Potion!
HOW TO MAKE IT
This can be made with a mundane potion. Yes, a MUNDANE potion. They are so useless besides for weakness, I thought they should be used for something else. To make a mundane potion, you use redstone dust. Then onto the mundane potion, you add a dead bush. Yes, a DEAD BUSH. Along with the mundane potion, they practically have no use. Also, it goes along with the effects. To upgrade it to a Potion of Smoke, you add a spider web to it. Again, something practically useless. You can enhance either for greater effects or longer effects.
THE EFFECTS
For the blindness potion, it would cause blindness for one minute to you (if you drink it) or anything you splash it on. It also kills any plants around where you splashed. Trees will lose some leaves and flowers will die and turn the ground below them to coarse dirt. This is because of the dead bush used to make the potion. It can only be given longer effects to increase the time of blindness to one minute 45 seconds. As for the smoke potion*, it causes thick smoke particles to form where you are looking (if you drink it) or where you splash it. It makes a 5*5*5 cloud. If you hide in the cloud, mobs cannot see you until it goes away. The cloud lasts one minute. It also kills plant life like the blindness potion did. If enhanced, it will create a 7*7*7 cloud when splashed or drinked. If given more time onto the effect, the cloud lasts one minute and 20 seconds.
*The smoke potion doesn't give the blindness effect. It is used to make the thick smoke cloud.
HOW WILL THIS HELP NON-BREWERS AND NON-PVPERS?
If you have ever played a game like Cops 'n Crims on Hypixel or MineStrike on Mineplex, you know that there are smoke bombs and flash bangs. We could make it easier for hardcore redstoners to make this game in vanilla! It would also be good for map makers to make scary or dramatic moments. Also it would be easier to make a Five Nights at Freddy's minigame!
EXTRA STUFF
Support the thread? Make sure to use the poll! Maybe you don't like it? Don't just comment, "This idea sucks.", you need to tell me why! I am looking for a support banner and maybe a new name for the Potion of Smoke because I don't really like it. Thanks for reading! I will be adding on soon!
EDIT LOG
12/30/14 4:11 PM - Changed Potion of Smoke recipe to spider web instead of fermented spider eye. [Ivya]
I don't know about the brewing recipe. I am fine with everything in that except that fermented spider eyes usually invert the potion they are put on. It would make more sense to create a potion of sight with the fermented spider eye than a potion of smoke.
The other thing I am going to nitpick is that your reasons for adding this idea just don't really make sense. One command could give someone blindness, another two could make a smoke bomb. Unless you can come up with a better reason why these make sense in the game, I will probably give you my support.
