Cloaks

under review

Cloaks can be put in a cauldron with a potion in it. The potion soaks into the cloak and gives it the effect.

You can wear the cloaks and it will give you the effects without the particles.

    it would be an illusioner drop

    I, too, like the illusion drop idea. However, I think the ambient potion effect is far too overpowered. Is this to say I am a mere ghast tear away from INFINITE REGENERATION?! Come on now. Let's not forget that Mojang added the beacon in order to give us ambient potion effects, and even that is way more limited than this idea.

    I'd much rather the cloak do something that isn't in the game yet - say, provide resistance to magic and negative potion effects when worn.

    Speaking of wearing, that's my other main concern. How and where is this item to be used/worn? Surely it wouldn't take the chestplate slot - unless that was intended to balance out the OPness of the ambient potion effect?

    When being worn, I think it would lose durabillaty, like the Elytra.

    That's a good idea

    Looses durability, you need to defeat the Illusion Illager to get it, it takes up the chestplate-slot in your inventory and then you get potion effects from it... it’s not too OP! It’s good. I like that.

    I dont Think the potion effect on the cloak would be infinite, just very extended at the cost of a chest plate. For example a 2:00 swiftness potion would become a 20:00 swiftness potion but you lose all that sweet sweet chest plate defence.

    It should take up the chest plate armor piece and it shouldn't give any armor points.

    I like this idea but i dont think the potion of invisibility should be able to work with it. Also itd be better if the cloak was super end game or at least a very rare drop/find. But overall, a very good idea. Maybe without potion effects it could be used as an aesthetic item. Instead of putting a potion into a cauldron you maybe put water and some dye in it to make it a certain colour.

    We would equip it at helmet or chest slot.

    Perfect, it should drop from illusion era and take the chest plate spot with leather protection

    I think this and the elytra should get an extra slot or a singular slot that takes up everything because it looks bad to be just missing a chest plate.

    You could have it lose durability very quickly

    It should be crafted with an elytra surrounded with phantom membranes, as it is extremely OP

    This should also be customizable with banners.

    Cool Idea, This should be a drop from the Illusioner but it has like a 10 min increase for the time of the potion.

    Increases the potion timer, Not to infinity, Maybe based on how many potions you soak into the cape with a cap? Drops off of Illusionist (or drops crafting materials from illusionist?) Ability to put banners on them for customization and magic resistance.

    I think that the cloak should be an Illusioner drop and it should work like a tool so that every time you put it on it can give Invisibility for the basic (maybe find more items in dungeons or pyramids). This would make sure its not to overpowered, I do think that cauldrons should be able to have other types of liquid besides water in it like milk or something and should be able to help repair it, or something to that effect. Maybe a potion of revealing or a potion of sight or night vision could help you see someone in Invisibility cloak.

    A cloak or a cape would be a great item to expand the magic of Minecraft but I have few suggestions to change your idea.

    Instead of classic potions make a new type of potions or a new enchant-like station for the cloak.

    The cloak/cape could give effects such as double jump, speed, Longer Reach (new one for builders where you can reach further), slow fall or some kind of mob protection (eg. extremely rare effect where phantoms would spawn much much less often.. as they are annoying and don't  do anything good). (a bit different than the beacon)

    Of course, make an option to combine it with a banner.

    In case any of these items seems OP make the new "Enchantments" or special Potions untradable (no villager triad) (or only with wondering trader) but achievable by means of mob drop and chest loot.

    Since the aquatic Update, there are many many treasure chests around and so these items should not be a problem to find whilst also being very valuable.

    More so for Servers. The Treasure Chest system promotes adventuring into the world and leaves little to no space for AFK or other farms.

    It could replace an armour slot but give you no extra protection (or very little) to balance it... Either that or it has some sort of cooldown

    PS: I also like the illusioner drop idea

    To make it less op make it where you can not increase the level of the potion and that has a low durability.

    i like the idea for cloaks. what if the cloak could only be used with a few affects like only invisibilty, swiftness and, strength? i also like the idea of it taking the chestplate slot and giving no armour points that Blast Burner suggested.

    The potion should be a lingering potion, this would make dragon's breath more useful and it would only make sense since lingering potions are designed to last
