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).

Use Poisonous Potatos to speed up Copper Oxidation

Since Poisonous Potatos dont really have a use yet, they could be turned into a substance that can be applied onto Copper Blocks like honey. While Honey preserves the current state, the substance made out of poisonous potato would speed it up. This isnt just out of nowhere because putting Copper in Salt&Vinegar-Potato Chips actually speeds up the process in real life. Regular Potatos wouldnt work, and the only other ones we have are the poisonous ones.

Since the Copper is supposed to show the age of the building, it shouldnt just outright advance it to the next step. Its just an extra step with resources for the players that dont want to wait as much.

The rate at which it should speed up is debatable, but I think twice as fast is fair.

    I think it should be instant since waiting that long really restricts players by making them have to wait a long period of time

    I love this idea. It should be instant though for players who don’t wanna wait.

    Some people are saying that the change should be instant, but that wouldn't make sense, and would also be weird. I think it should be applicable to the block instead of crafting with it, and work like food works in composters

    Not gonna lie, pretty weird idea, but at least they have a purpose now.

    They should add this. Even though it doesn't make sense it could still work.

    They wouldn’t add it with poisonous potatoes, mainly because in an interview or something, Jen specifically stated that he wanted poisonous potatoes to be useless and to never have a use. But they might add it in some other way, maybe having it be covered in water instead.
