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).

Mechanic to "poison" beacons

The basic idea is to add a mechanic to "poison" regular beacons by feeding them a wither skeleton skull, as opposed to an iron ingot. A poisoned beacon would function like normal, but the buffs would be applied to undead mobs and not the player. A poisoned beacon block could display some visual change to show that it's poisoned (eg. a change in colour) and could be reverted simply by again feeding it with an iron ingot. 

This mechanic would enable the player to locally increase the difficulty, which could be very interesting to play around with. You could for example make some kind of dungeon run mini game where the difficulty increases the further in you go. It could also be a fun way to mess with friends.

    I actually like this idea! The buffs can stay the same but exchange for buffing mobs it increases drops and xp given. This would be pretty great option if you want to farm mob drops but don't like using mob farms. It should also attract undead 64 blocks away from the beacon. Smite V swords are going to be useful in this case. The beacon should also have the effect of repelling creepers and spiders away.
