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).

Natural Magic (Magic Without Over Powered Wands)

there are already a few posts about putting magic in the game but they were made for older versions and alot of them are about flashy magic wands which would be cool but I have another idea.

We have quite a few biomes in the game now and many are being updated adding more plants and animals. whilst we are being given more resources our horizons haven't expanded to far. I think it would be a really cool idea to add in a nature based magic

I will put my ideas for details in the comments because it is too long for the box but basically
Cauldron Magic
Some Basic Totems (craftable)
Some Crystal Magic
and some more crafting things based on plants

    Cauldron
    lets be honest they have no use other than to look nice. it would be nice to have an early beacon, puttng flowers in the water and then lighting a fire underneath allowing the natural magic to steam into the air. it would take about 5 minutes for the water to completly boil away and be empty but the play would get a small benefit in a small area of range.

    Totems
    Im not saying let us make totems of undying because the woodland mannor is a fun dungeon but let use make some smaller totems, perhaps a totem of cat that would make creepers scared of us or one the would cure us of a potion effect when we get attacked. of course these would break over time (cat totem) or instantly (potion) when being held but it would be nice to have a natural magic garden to keep these items coming.

    Crystals

    Crystals would be rare to find deep in caves but they could be used to create stronger golems (im not talking diamond golems or anything just iron ones that might be faster or have more health depending on the crytal they are made with) or maybe some earth magic making rituals with red stone and crystals on the ground that cause a storm to come or go. even allowing us to make a ritual site around a pool of water so when you are in the water it heals you.

    Crafting
    some basic elemental staves, the best one I can think of is air. using it channels it and pushing other players, mobs and arrows away from you, whilst channeling you also have slowfall so you can drop of a mountain and use your magic to gide down, giving us an alter to make these staves and totems would be awsome, again all the staves would break unless repaired with materials and XP.
    also just some basic things like

    bandages
    a herb basket
    animal hide armour (like polar bear fur armour)
    some blade oils (these would give enchantments like 'smite' but for only three strikes)
    some tipped arrows that aren't end game materials

    Biome Magic
    because each biome has different flowers, soils (and hey even crystals if you add them) make each one do something unique, some flowers may make natural bandages stronger and be more desired. this gives a player a reason to adventure out and gather things from around their world. it also opend up alot of server options too, imagine players trading with those from another biome for their magical resources or even server built around witch hunts.

    I hate to disagree but I think that would kind of be a bit op to have that kind of power, just saying if you where to get all that power you would easily go through mobs leaving the game a little dull, plus there is already potions and the totem of undying, but it is still a great idea and I would love to see something similar to this... like a potion that could let you freeze mobs or players in place for a moment when punch them with your free hand making it not too overpowered of a trick because potions have time limits

    I disagree because it would ruin the feel of Minecraft's natural game-style. It makes it where it isn't as natural and ruins the fun of surviving in your own world, full of adventure.

    I really think there should be mana, which would power magic spells, and mana could be an ore so there's more reason to mine underground.

    This is be a great idea, but what if in order to make a small totem you'll need a hay bale and a drop from the mob or a haunted block. A haunted block would be a block that the mob died on. Using a hay bale and the block would give you the totem. Also side note the stronger the block is the more durability it has with the most being 20 or 25.

    We need a whole update related to magic if you ask me. Minecraft needs a more broad stretch of fighting styles. It would be really cool if Minecraft had different “categories” that you could pick from and upgrade. So maybe instead of having regular armor, you could sacrifice wearing a chest plate for a cloak that allows you to slow fall on command or maybe you could wear a pair of boots that allow you to double jump without having the ability to use feather falling. There are so many great ideas that people have related to magic and the whole combat system in general. Fingers crossed that Mojang will make some awesome changes to the combat system.
