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).

Incorporating Tea Into Minecraft

I'd love to see tea as a drink being added into Minecraft, maybe adding specific types of tea and having different types of plants. Also maybe make a kettle of some sort so that it is easier to brew the tea.

    It would be used for purely entertainment, not much purpose i guess. Maybe adding effects to the tea like potions in a way to affect the player's pvp or exploring adventures.

    Mojang won't add any manufactured or modern products, for example, kettles and drinkable tea.

    Maybe it could be made with tea leaves (New item) x1, Honey bottles x1, and water bottles x2. I think that would work.

    Maybe you can brew the leaves in a brewing stand? It could give you a slight speed boost because caffeine,

    I think that would be a great idea! I would love to see tea in game. Also, maybe the implementation of crushed/cubed ice to make iced tea, with the edition of an ice crusher to craft the ice in the first place. Also, cups. and maybe lemonade.

    Please yes. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE YES. Over campfires, or just counter-top, cast-iron teapots to brew tea in. Give us Jasmine, Himalayan White, Jade Green, and Oolong. PLEAAASSEEEE D:

    The WHY here is important- You need to edit this to tell them the WHY. Which, in my case, is because I really REALLY love playing around and building things, living in Taverns and Inns that I build, teashops and restaurants. PLEASE recognize our need Mojang!

    We should be able to also brew flowers that already exist into tea. Blue Orchid Tea, anyone??

    To help find the "why/mechanical purpose" for your idea, I think dandelion tea as a way to heal/prevent cold damage would be an excellent addition.

    In the upcoming Caves update, I heard that there may be a possibility to take cold damage unless wearing leather armor. I have seen dandelions growing under top snow in snowy biomes, so I think they could be used to craft a tea that gives a temporary effect protecting against or healing cold damage. That way it gives the tea a useful reason to exist besides being purely aesthetic (though I would be happy with that too).

    Dandelion tea is already a real drink, and it could be crafted using a bottle of water, honey (maybe), and a roasted dandelion (maybe you need to put the dandelion in the smoker/furnace first). This also makes it so no new plants need to be added to the game. I think a tea kettle and a teacup would be fun additions as well, maybe crafted from clay bricks like flowerpots or iron ingots.

    Instead of posting a new idea, I'd like to add onto this, as I also thought adding tea would be a great idea. Tea would be harvested from some kind of tea plant as tea leaves, and could have many applications.

     - Potions: Tea leaves could be a potion ingredient. For example, Chamomile tea could be added, which allows the player to sleep during the day (useful if you need to skip to night). Caffeinated tea could possibly prevent phantoms from spawning that night (if you can't sleep or need it to be night). It could also be used for some kind of speed boost or other effect.

     - Food item: Chai tea with milk and honey is one of my favorite teas, and because milk and honey already exist in game (as well as water) it makes the recipe easy to add. It would be a basic food item, though it could also possibly give one of the effects listed above if it isn't added as a potion ingredient.

     - Other: Tea has many other properties, such as for calming someone or as a medicine. This could be a great opportunity for Minecraft to teach players about tea use around the world, which I know has been a thing with a lot of the newer features added. I also really love boba tea, a tea drink with tapioca pearls at the bottom that are eaten with the drink, though I haven't thought of how they could be added to the game and be useful. Thought I'd mention them at least.

    Feel free to let me know if you think of other uses for tea, and I'm glad that other people have thought of this idea as well!

    Tea is needed, because in Minecraft there are only 2-3 drinks from reality, and the mechanics of cooking need to be developed, plus motivation to explore for different types of tea. What if a traveling merchant buys different types of tea?
