My idea is using amethyst shards to create an interesting way to obtain high level potions.
In the 1.18 update it has been announced that there will be a new biome called the deep dark. In the announcement video of 1.17 you can see the biome and warden, but what caught my attention and sparked my idea for spoiled potions was the dungeon-like area in the wall with chests and barrels.
Amethyst geodes are something amazing and beautiful to stumble upon in Minecraft, but they don't have much use apart from crafting a spyglass.
Spoiled potions, a bottle filled with brown muck found in the chests and barrels of the deep dark. They can be put in a brewing stand and "purified" with amethyst shards, brewing a random high level potion (e.g. jump II strength II regeneration II) or even introduce 3rd level potions (e.g. jump III strength III regeneration III). To provide a use to speedrunners, a spoiled potion could be drunk directly and has a 50/50 chance of giving a low level bad or good effect (e.g. nausea, slowness I, regeneration I, strength I). Spoiled potions wouldn't be too rare to find in the deep dark, maybe with a 25% chance of spawning in one of the chests or barrels.
I came up with this idea while I was brainstorming ideas after watching Minecraft live and think it would be an excellent addition to Minecraft, providing a better use of amethyst shards.
