This idea could be added to an existing update as a small addition, or could be part of a larger farming/crop update. The basic idea is just to add corn to the game, would love to see it added because I feel it would fit well, and is a vanilla style addition. The next paragraph is just an idea of how corn could work, but would love to see corn added in any way the devs see fit.
Firstly corn would be tall like a sunflower, and would require all the basic needs that crops in minecraft have, (water, tilled earth etc). The corn crop would start off as a small sprout such as the melon and pumpkin and then when fully matured would grow a cob of corn at the top, which would remain until harvested by a player. The cob of corn would have a unique mechanic were one cob can be eaten 3 times before disappearing, mimicking how in real life corn is eaten not all at once but in bites of the kernels, Will give 1 hunger shanks per bite. To balance this corn would take longer to grow than normal crops and only yields 1 cob at a time. Cob of corn can also be cooked to make cooked corn which would give 2 hunger shanks per bite, to further balance corns op effects, corn can only be cooked on a campfire, limiting mass production. If more balancing is needed, corn seeds may only be attainable in loot chests, or corn can only be carried only in a stack of 16. Other mechanics such as popcorn could also be looked at.
Thank you for considering my idea!
