Suspicious Stew Randomization

Suspicious stew is an excellent mechanic, allowing access to potion effects earlier in the game. It would be interesting if certain flowers (other than unique ones like the wither rose and lily of the valley) had their stew effects randomized based on the world seed, so that upon creating a new world a player must experiment to find out which herbs can be used to create remedies and which are toxic. In addition, there could be an effect for temporarily immunizing against effects such as poison and wither, making herbal effects unique to standard potions. These mechanics combined could make the stew mechanic more rewarding to explore.

    It would be cool if some flowers are always random, not based on the world seed.

    Keep in mind that the Lily of the Valley was selected as the Poison Suspicious Stew specifically because it is poisonous irl.

    However, from a gameplay perspective, this is a much better way to approach Suspicious Stew. People will only craft the "good" stews now that the recipes are up on the wiki. There's no mystery to it anymore. Voted!
