Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

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.

    I think this could be balanced with 3 features:

    1. It's an uncraftable treasure item
    2. Like elytra, it is worn in the chestplate slot but has no armor points
    3. Only certain effects can be applied (e.g. speed and jump boost, but not regeneration), or the effects have a strength below level 1.

    On the design end, I would love if the cloak took on the color of the applied effect.

    I like the start that DrabbestPrism80 had on this topic regarding the enchantment effects such as double jump, speed, Longer Reach, slow fall and such.

    More specifically, I was thinking a banner with six leather combined together would get you a cloak (top two corners empty, Banner in the center.)

    Then you have a choice. Dunk it into a cauldron that requires three of the same potion to get the desired effect, or take it to the enchanting table to get an entirely different set of potential effects.

    One effect I quite like is Camouflage. Either adjust the characters contrast to match the surrounding biome, or makes the character slightly transparent. It would also decrease the range you can be detected by mobs. 

    In my mind, this Cloak would take the place of your chest armor. With options like double jump, speed, slow fall, possibly a very nerfed constant regen with a ten second delay after taking damage...

    Cool idea. It's like you have a magic cloak, wait that's what it is. 👍👍

    When you soak it in water the effects should be erased.

    Also the potion should slowly lose effect like a potion of leaping II would become a potion of leaping I in ten minutes, and that would vanish after another ten minutes.

    It is overpowered, but this could be fixed by having a method of recharging the cloak. I also think the idea that the cloak could be worn over armor could be interesting.

    I like the idea but I think it should still run out of time and you’ll have to soak it again because it’s dry

    No particle effects with invis?! Now that's just plain unfair.

    There should be an achievement/advencement for when you put the cloak in a cauldron with a potion of invisibility and equip it, called "My body's gone!" which is a reference to Harry Potter and the sorcerer's/philosopher's stone.

    Maybe the Dragon drops an item called 'Wing membrane' that can be crafted into a cloak that can have almost infinite potion effects, like maybe you have to use dragon's breath to repair it or 'cleanse' it of the previous potion. All in all, amazing idea.

    Invisibility without the particles?! Infinite slow falling?! Strength forever?! Yes! Yes! Yes! Wonderful idea!

    I think invisiblity should be possible on the cloak like in Harry potter

    Could it be wearable and you could add in is to it and maybe get an achievement that credits the invisibility cloak from Harry Potter. Also maybe craft able from leather and rabbits hide (to give those things more of a use)

    I would make it so you can’t wear any armour with it on and it would be able to have multiple effects on it but would wear away and it could be made of

                  rabbit hide copper rabbit hide

                  rabbit hide leather rabbit hide

                  leather leather leather

    I would make enchants for it also like Minecraft dungeons robes of teleportation and you can set a location by equipping a cloak in hand and clicking on a lodestone perhaps

    I have an idea. The cloaks would boost the potion effect duration by a small increment. They would also remove the particle effect caused by the potion. and maybe silence the drinking a little? I also like the idea of the cloak losing durability while in use.

    I’ve wanted a cape for so long and with this I can get one finally! Also, they should be dyable

    As long as this took up the chest plate slot and the leggings slot, then this would be fine.  Otherwise, this is OP.

    I think there should be a way to craft them

    How do you craft them. Maybe you could do this:put lt like leather pants but then put one leather in the middle of the grid

    this may be op but maybe some effects that aren't with the beacon like an invisibility cloak or a lingering potion with the crafting table.  you put it on chest and it remove helmet effects

    What about, like 8 potions around it and the effect wears off?

    Or, that it is considerably weaker?

    Or, that it uses the enchanting table?

    Or, that is just fashionable? - I want a cloak.

    you could combine it with a chest plate at a anvil but you could not enchant it to balanece it out

    maybe to counter being OP it could have a charge based on how much it's used and you have to recharge it with an item? similar to skyrim's enchanted weapons
