Revert health potions to heal 2 and 4 hearts respectively again

20 ticks for an health potion that is stackable and heals 6 hearts is quite broken... I'm ok with all the changes except from the buff to health potions, they should heal 2 and 4 hearts respectively, like before.

    I think it's fine. Potions are interrupted like golden apples now, so it's not like PVP will become a chug-off from it anyway.

    I agree, if you need more healing, just use more of them. You can stack them now.

    I think that it's actually good to have those features added. Since potions are given a bigger role when it comes to healing, it would make sense to have more aid, especially when you can't drink the potion when under attack. Maybe make the potion drink slower?

    2 hearts and 4 hearts is not too little if you have iron+ armor.

    I disagree. The buff to healing is fine. It's being able to stack potions that is the problem. Even if level 2 went back to only healing 3 hearts, that's still 48 hearts per stack of Instant Health II. If potions don't stack, that's just 1 potion healing 6 hearts, but quicker than it used to.

    I personally like the new change. It makes a reason to use instant health instead of regeneration.

    The change is fine. It is weird on how harming deals more hearts of damage (or healing to undead mobs) than the normal healing potions. Like Healing I restores 4 Hearts while Harming I damages 6 Hearts but when applied to undead mobs you damage them with 4 Hearts and healing them with 6 Hearts, respectively.

    no it's not. steak in 1.9 was just as good, easier to get, and stacked 4 times as high.
