Brewing Update/Tool Update

Brewing hasn't been updated in a while, we have the Mundane and Thick potions, but there aren't anything that they're used for. What if, for example, there was a way to apply potion effects to weapons? Maybe you could make a poison sword that gives everything you attack it with poison for 10 seconds? Maybe to keep this from being too strong, the potion effects would wear out after a certain amount of hits?

Another thing, with weapons and tools, so far the only thing that you could make the hilts out of are sticks. What if you could make them from blaze rods or bones? Perhaps they could help you do more damage in the nether or against the undead! You would only be able to use one type of hilt material per tool, so using bamboo and sticks together wouldn't allow you to make some sort of amalgam shovel.
