Strengths and weaknesses

Basically, at the start of the game, you would be randomly assigned 1-4 strengths, 1-2 super strengths, and 1-4 weaknesses. Some examples could be that you would be smarter, which would allow you to hit crits easier, mobile, where you can run faster, and had the ability to get an ore every so often but you would need to eat more, couldn't mine as fast, and was arrogant, so villagers wouldn't give you as good trades. These are just some strengths and weaknesses, more can be added and be tweaked over time to be fairer, but would add some extra randomness into the game, they could also be turned off in case of speedruns or wanting to build something, the on/off switch would be like the cheats button

    You are basically describing every RPG ever. Minecraft is not about stats, it's about creativity and what you can do. If someone wanted to make a world, purely just to build a mansion, do you think they would appreciate having their weakness be, "You can only place a block once every 5 seconds"? What about a speedrunner? How would they like not being able to use a shield or mining slowly?

    While I do agree that it would impact gameplay, I would not say it would make Minecraft an RPG, this isn't going to be something like 5 seconds, and an RPG doesn't have random things that are added, they would be slighter, I was only giving them as an example, they could be disabled before starting, which would make it fairer for speedrunners. And Minecraft in a sense has areas of the game where you are trying to get better stats - aka enchants and potions - it would add more of a challenge and could be used in challenge maps, where you would have different people in a party trying to leverage each one's strengths and weaknesses, and while it would impact creativity in some sorts, it could open up new ways of building in others. This was only to explain some things and not to challenge anyone, nor give any negativity to anyone.
