Recipe book for brewing stands

Now that the furnace supports recipe books, I was wondering if we could have something similar for brewing stands. Since potions are rather complicated to make, and knowing what brews what would help new coming alchemists.

Also, it would allow for people to add custom recipes for various potions. Perhaps we can take this a step further and allow players to program their own custom potions into the game using existing effects. It could allow users to make datapacks let the player acquire potions of levitation, luck, or a much more simplified resistance potion.

    Bamboo Blocks, Copper, Armor Trims...we've gotten a lot of features that fans yearned for. Yet, we still haven't got this yet? Make it happen.

    Recipe could be unlocked in Brewing stand UI when placing new ingredients in.
    There could be an achievement button in the menu with all information on every mob being unlocked, biomes seen, concept art, info on useful items, explanation on red-stone functions and brewing, etc.

    definetly brewing stand needs book more than furnace needed it, and I would argue, even if there is any reason to not tell people about potions in advance (to support "experiemtning" or whatever, but literally everyone opens just wiki for that anyway so.. not valid argument in my opinion), at least listing potion recypes for potions you already made or found in world elsewhere (such as drop from witch or wandering trader or dispensers in trial chambers), having some list of potions, rather than listing actual recipes, listing what ingredients do in potion would be better, since glow/redstone have buffing effects on potions only and gunpowder and dragon breath change how potions work, in book could be categories as "water bottle" and list what can be used on that, then "potion of X effect" and there listed redstone, glowstone and gunpowder or dragon breath, and "awkward potion" where would be listed useable items for that and what effect that would have, something as that, potions are thing that even skilled players often look on wiki just to be sure at least for some, and by just playing game or use any logic, I would never guess I could use stone to make potion, or even turtle helmet
    definetly then people adding own potions trough datapacks or mods could use this book easily and possibly would even encourage people making own custom potions

    it is something very necessary since many new players are forced to enter the wiki and many others are very forgetful to remember how to make potions and all its variations.

    I think that having it as an actual book you can find in witch huts or structures like the sand temples and jungle temples could make going to structures a little more inciting.
