As usual, this idea was created when a few noticeable golem threads didn't receive much of a reputation. So I decided to give a shot and introduce this new golem, complete with a unique ability and look. Before I go on, I'd like to thank Broccoli_Monkey, as half of this suggestion would not have been complete without him. This suggestion belongs to both of us.
This Obsidian Golem will share some attributes to an Enderman, tall and thin. The only difference it shares, is that it has an Obsidian texture, and sports crystals out of it's body, these crystals bare a crucial part in the golem, and will be explained further after describing the Golem's general stats:
Concept Art:
1st style:
2nd style (with player size comparison):
Created by greenmajesti:
Summon:
As mentioned, this golem focuses on alchemy. It uses the brand new Lingering Potions, which are dropped from the Ender Dragon, or common Splash Potions in order to activate itself. This is when the Golem's crystals come into play.
At first, when summoning the Obsidian Golem, it starts off with it's original form (shown in the Concept Art). It starts off with grey, dull crystals, meaning it has no power, and won't attack any mobs or help the player. In order to activate this golem, you need to splash it with a Lingering Potion or Splash Potion of choice, once doing so, if it is a Positive or Negative potion, it will bare blue or red crystals, and cannot accept any other potion. For example, if you splash this golem with a Healing Lingering Potion, it's crystals will turn blue, and will ONLY accept Healing Lingering Potions, in it's inventory, and no others.
However, once the Obsidian Golem uses up it's potion of choice, only then you can replace the Golem's inventory with a new potion, but with the same results. It cannot accept any other potion but the one that you are offering. For example, after the Obsidian Golem uses up all of it's Healing Potions, only then you may replace those Healing potions with a new kind of potion, such as a Splash Potion of Weakness Potions. This results in the Golem changing from it's Supportive state, to it's Offensive state, and once you place in the minimum amount, you cannot place any other potions other than Splash Potions of Weakness or access the inventory until it runs out of the potions, and then you can repeat the process. This allows the Golem to use a more variety of potions, but still remain balanced.
Once you splash this golem with your potion of choice, you can then right-click the golem, which opens up it's inventory that has 25 slots. For each potion placed in, it can be used 3-5 times by this golem, and will do slightly more of the effect it does onto players or mobs. In order to prevent this mob from using an unlimited source of potions, once you place in a minimum of 5 Potions, which then allows it to attack mobs in it's radius or support the player, you cannot right-click the golem again to open it's inventory. Not until it uses up all the potions in it's inventory, only then you can right-click it again to refill it's inventory.
This golem reacts differently depending on it's 2 forms, which is its Supportive and Offensive forms. In it's Offensive state, it will attack mobs when it's within it's radius, using the potions given by the player. This Golem also shares a mechanic of the Tamed Wolf, as it can attack Players as well, if the Player, the one who created the golem, attacks an opponent or the opponent attacks the player, the Golem will target that opponent and use it's potions.
In it's Supportive state, it will follow the player, giving it positive potions when the player needs them the most. And since some of the positive potions do harm to particular hostile mobs, it will be a good bonus to have around. In this state, it's AI would also be "smarter" (If I had an adjective to describe the high intellect of a digital being created from code, then "smarter" might be it) meaning this Golem will use it's potions depending on the situation and the potion it has. For example, if you were to go swim in a lake or ocean, the Golem will splash you with a Water Breathing potion. Or if you were to go Mining with it, it will splash you with a Potion of Night Vision. Or if Night were to come around or if there is a certain number of mobs around, this golem will splash you with a Strength Potion.
This golem can be especially useful for mapmakers, as it has some interesting NBT tags. Basically, Obsidian Golems will be able to be customized using three different Data Tags:
-"Color", to be able to change the colors of the crystals on the Golem (this same tag is also used to determine the color of sheep)
-"Effect", which determines the type of potion the Golem will throw.
-"Amount", which determines the amount of potions the spawned Golem will throw before returning to it's 'empty' state.
Color:
the Color Data tag works as follows:
{Color:[0-15]}.
Each number between zero and 15 represents one of the 16 dye colors in Minecraft, in the same order as they do on sheep. When this tag is not used, the color will default to white (Color 0)
Effect:
{Effect:[1-25]}.
The numbers 1-25 are all the ID's of Minecraft's potion effects, and determine what type of potion the Golem will throw at you or your opponent. When this tag is not used, the potion used will default to Speed (ID: 1)
Amount:
{Amount:[0-100,X]}.
The amount tag determines the amount of potions the Golem has in it's inventory. When set to 0, the Golem will be in it's 'empty' state. The maximum of 100 in this instance is just an example, I don't know the exact limit Minecraft sets to tags like this, so I chose a limit of 100 myself.
When, instead of a number, you give an Amount of "X" the Golem's inventory will never have to be refilled, meaning that you can have it throw an infinite amount of a specific potion. When this tag is not used, the amount will be defaulted to 0 ('empty')
So, to give an example, Imagine you want to summon a Golem with red crystals, that throws Harming potions at opponents, and has 25 potions in it's inventory when summoned, you'd input this command:
/summon EnderGolem ~ ~ ~ {Color:14, Effect: 7, Amount: 25}
TL;DR
A new golem, with a unique ability and stylish look. Created using Obsidian and your generic Pumpkin to follow the tradition of making Golems. Unlike the Iron or Snow Golem, it uses an AOE effect, with an alchemy theme to it. The Obsidian Golem uses Lingering Potions given from the player in order to activate one of it's two alternative forms. It uses its potions effectively in battle or in a situation when the player needs them the most, like mining with no torches, or battling a horde of creepers. Use a positive potion to turn it to its Supportive state, or use a negative one to turn it into its Offensive state. But don't be alarmed, you can always change the Golem's form once it has used up all the potions in its slot. Not only is it a very loyal companion, but it comes with 3 NBT tags that customizes this golem in colour, potion type, and amount, very useful for mapmakers!

I nominate this for the hall of fame.

When two characters get into a conversation (usually one concerning conflict or a past-scenario being brought up) and one character says something that actually makes sense and logical, and the other character either says nothing or completely changes the subject.
Like in the first Spider-man movie and in the Man of Steel.

[Edit]: 4% decreased to 0.3%, Nether Reactor drops increased in value, escape stairway removed (yes, a lot of people liked it, but it was simply too unnecessary, since someone could just bore a hole out of the room instead of climbing a deadly stairway. It may be given purpose later, but I'm not too sure).
Many people I know are irritated about the fact that the Nether has barely any generated structures, while the Overworld is thriving with them. And though I came up with various ideas, there was one idea that stood out, and I've decided to suggest it: The Reactor Ruins.
Generation:
The Reactor Ruins spawn in the Nether, as stated before. The structure has a 0.3% chance of spawning per chunk, typically in areas that are mostly underground; it's uncommon to see the Reactor Ruins exposed to the air. The Reactor room takes up a 11x22x11 area, and is made of a hollow shell of Netherrack. In the center of the room is a structure reminiscent of the Nether Reactor, a recently removed man-made structure in the Pocket Edition. However, it seems old and defective, as the cobblestone has been replaced by Obsidian, and the Gold Blocks are replaced by Nether Bricks. Not to mention that what would be the Nether Reactor Core is instead its darker, burnt-out variant (which can only be obtained via commands). Unlike in the Pocket Edition, the Reactor Core cannot be collected. Mining a Core with any Pickaxe is as slow as breaking Stone with your fists. Upon breaking, the Core will not drop itself.
Activation:
To activate the reactor, replace the Nether Bricks with Gold Blocks and right-click the burnt-out Reactor Core. The Core will emit smoke particles for 2 seconds (the activation will stop if the structure is disturbed). After the 2 seconds have passed, the Gold Blocks and Obsidian will be replaced by Glowing Obsidian (also from the Pocket Edition; it's hard as Obsidian, but emits a light level of 12. It has a similar texture to that of Obsidian, but it's a glowing, neon red color). Unlike the Pocket Edition, however, the Glowing Obsidian can be collected, but only if you use a Silk Touch Pickaxe; anything else will make it drop normal Obsidian instead. While the Reactor is active, it will proceed to spawn items on the floor around it, but unlike the Pocket Edition (again), the items are more useful than random. A few of the items involve (with the percentage of spawning per 8 seconds):
85%: 4-7 Iron Ingots
85%: 4-9 Nether Quartz
60%: 5-7 Nether Wart
60%: 5-9 Redstone Dust
40%: 4-6 Gold Ingots
40%: 1 Gold Sword
30%: 1-3 Diamonds
10%: 1 Saddle
5%: 1 Random Horse Armor
Basically, it's drops are similar to those of a Nether Fortress. Anyhow, every 8 seconds, a new wave of items will spawn around the reactor, and this process lasts for 40 seconds, meaning that there are 5 waves. However, one must be wary while collecting items, as Nether Mobs will also spawn around the Reactor. Whenever a new wave of items spawn, there is a chance of:
-90% 2-3 Zombie Pigmen
-50% 2-3 Small/Tiny Magma Cubes
-20% 1-2 Blazes
However, after all 5 waves, things start to go wrong. Due to how old the Reactor is, it starts to have a meltdown. Will there be explosions? No, but patches of fire will start to slowly ignite in the Reactor Room. At this point, any items not yet picked up will be slowly incinerated. In about 30 seconds, the floor will be completely covered in flames, signaling that you need to leave immediately. During the meltdown, the walls will start to fragment, filling with holes. Once the meltdown ends, and the entire room is filled with fire, the Glowing Obsidian will turn back into normal Obsidian. The Core will disappear.
Also, as a side-note, I had no intention of adding this completely for the sake of nostalgia. Yes, it was removed, but I don't want that to be the only reason to add this. I think that, as stated in the first sentence of the thread, this would help in adding more structures to the Nether. Not only that, but it would give a sense of something having been abandoned a long time ago, yet discovered (since the structure represents the Reactor from the old Pocket Edition, having been found again as ruins).
Yeah... I'm not sure what light you guys would see this in compared to my view on the suggestion, but let me know what you think.

I suppose it would be helpful if you're trying to see problems in a sorting system or something. However, hoppers don't just transport single items; they have an inventory. You'd have to do something to show the entire inventory (which would make it look cluttered) or only a single item (which would make us lose information). This is one case where concept art would be good, to allow us to see what it would look like.

After seeing this thread, I decided to try my own take on the general idea.
Glowslime would be an item crafted from 4 Glowstone and 1 Slimeball in this pattern:
It would be used as a placeable light source. Placed Glowslime would have a hitbox 1/16 of a block thick. It could be placed on floors, walls, and ceilings, with a light level of 15. Placed Glowslime would have no texture, but would instead emit particles. The particles would be 1-pixel, small yellow specks that would remain stationary until despawning, rather like Mycelium spores. In the inventory, Glowslime would look like a yellow Slimeball with specks in it.
Idea by Marabillis: Glowslime could be throwable like a Snowball. If it hits a block, thrown Glowslime places itself on that block. If it hits an entity, it has the same effect as a Spectral Arrow, making a glowing outline appear on it, but doing no damage.
Another crafting recipe with a texture (Thanks, Marabillis!): 
Another texture by myself: 
Glowslime also has a dimmer, more ambient counterpart: Redstone Cream. It would be crafted like this:
It would emit a light level of 7, like a Redstone Torch. Redstone Cream would behave similarly to Glowslime, but would emit red particles instead of yellow ones. It would look like a red-tinted Magma Cream with red specks. Redstone Cream would not be throwable, but would cause the block it's placed on to emit a redstone signal. The signal would increase by 3 for each Cream put on the block, with a maximum signal strength of 15.
Glowslime/Redstone Cream will not have a collision box, allowing you to walk through it.
Tell me what you think!

I hate it when the video game sums up a boss fight to be a bunch of QTE button mashing. You have to go through the entire game honing you skills and becoming better at the game, and then the boss fight gameplay is completely different and worthless to all the new methods and skills you just learned.
Its likes learning how to ride a bike and training on said bike for a month and a half, but when the event you were training for occurs, you are force to start riding a motorcycle instead.

Good golly! Those dastardly Team Rocket, always up to no good!

Yeah, but you have to be careful while using them. You could buff targets you don't want to buff. With the arrows, you can buff a single mob instead of a group.
Like if your friend needs a speed buff, but your friend is surrounded by zombies. The only way to buff them at a distance and with selection would be to use the arrows.

You would have a bunch of pissed of nerds be sad that they don't have a place to discuss ideas. That is kinda it, but yeah.
People would just be pissed off and sad.
Now if people changed the name of the suggestion section to "Suggestion Discussion", that might make people have a better idea of what this forum is about. We just discuss ideas here, and sometimes an idea is good enough to be made into a mod, and sometimes (rarely, if ever) it gets added to the game (I am not certain that this has ever happened, but I might be wrong).
It probably wouldn't help that much, but at least people could bounce ideas about minecraft to their buddies.

Oooohhhh jeez, children!
Don't you all realize that debating evolution doesn't change people opinions on it? Please don't make this thread devolve into a giant religeous debate...that would just be sad......and kinda fiery because everyone gets all worked up over the issue.....
Everyone give it a rest, it is ultimately pointless to discuss it here. If you guys still really feel super strong about it, put it in another thead.

Actually, it isn't as hard as most people think! You just have to measure how subjective something is! The only real way to do that is to create an index, and to comparing different threads on that index, but it wouldn't be too difficult! I mean no one would adopt it, but it can be done!
First you would have to get a group of people together and find out how many ways a thread can be interpreted. You tally up all the ways it can be interpreted, then divide that number by the word count, and then multiply by 100 (it is an index, after all) and you would then get a number. You could then see that higher numbers on the scale would have more interpreted meanings per word than numbers lower on the scale, therefor higher numbers are more vague.
Nobody would ever do this though. Ever. It would take up too much time, would require a group effort, and would be boring as all heck. And you could only compare threads, you could not set a distinct limit on which thread stops being super vague and starts being concrete.
There are many problems with this method, but you could measure subjectivity (kinda). Edit: let me rephrase that. You could get a sense of how much subjectivity there might be in a thread.

Yeah, it is probably something to do with that. Here in 'Merica, our education system is kinda in shambles. There is almost no money going into our schools, and even if there was, it probably wouldn't matter either. My school district wasted almost all of our schools budget on a 5 second Super Bowl ad. If only I could remember what year it was.... Our school district was Falcon School District 49, and if you can find a video of this short five second ad online, props to you.
Anyway, even if our schools had money, they would waste it on crap like that instead of on the students. You could try and get around that system by using a private school, but they aren't much better and who can afford them? The whole system is screwed man, and there is almost nothing we can do about it here.

We are. We are just talking about the biggest flaw. Yes, it is not useful, but more importantly it is silly, illogical, and not humorous.
Heck, one could see it as nothing more than a pile of paperwork that is interfering with your ability to play a game. And guess what, as an adult, I hate that. Figurative piles a paperwork that prevent play is bad enough, but not there are literal ones in game? *shudders*
And you also made a giant, heavily combustible lag machine of a biome. If lightning strikes anywhere within this biome, the whole thing is going up in flames, and so is your computer. All those tile ticks, it would break everything! This biome would be physically destructive in the real world, as well as your Minecraft world.
Besides, based on that last response, I have a feeling you just made this post to try and teach people that "use" isn't the most important aspect of critiquing suggestions. The problem is, if that was your original intent (which I can honestly say I do not know if it is or is not), you just shot your suggestion in the foot for it.
What you should be teaching people is how to properly weigh the cost and benefits of all aspects of a suggestion.
And there is already a page on how to do this! It is pinned to the suggestion page! At the very top! It is here!
http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-discussion/suggestions/44180-for-the-critics-ftc
*Sigh* Look, all I can objectively say is that this biome is a bad idea. It is entirely combustible, It is unattractive, It can hurt people in the feels, it can lag out your computer, it lacks logic, and yes, it is not useful in any way.

Actually, that can apply to even more than that. Any unnessisary music that leads the viewer on or unnessisarily dramatize things is bad. Like in horror movies where they play violins directly before a jump scare, or in an action movie where they need unnessisary "bbuuuuaaawwwwww"'s to give viewers a sense of scale. It just dumbs down the content by making the audience feel a specific way using sound.
Instead of the picture, dialog, or plot providing influencing how the audience should feel, they cheap out and just force the audience to feel a specific way with sound. They force one sense to make up for the shortcomings of others.
An example of this would be any Transformers movie. While it is visually and acousticaly pleasing, there is almost no interesting plot line nor good dialog.

I hate it when the music of a film doesn't match the events that are playing out inside of the film. Like if there is a super serious scene that takes place in the 1930's going on and all of the sudden, some techno pop song starts playing. Yeah, the scene is super serious, and yeah, the era the film is representing does not have pop music in it, but somebody decided to make it the soundtrack anyway.
It is like watching a documentary about WWII and seeing people getting their arms blown off, all while listening to Micheal Jackson's Smooth Criminal.
It is just bizarre.
