What If Minecraft Had An Alchemy Update?

Minecraft’s 1.16 is entirely focused on updating the nether introducing new mobs biomes blocks and more to the dimension up to this point however they’ve missed a crucial part of Minecraft and the nether that being brewing which hasn’t had an update in a very long time there should be at the very least more

Potion effects items for brewing and so on amongst potentially even more ideas that being said my name is system Z and what if minecraft had an alchemy update before we get started a large portion of my viewers are currently unsubscribed so if you like what you see and you enjoy

My videos consider subscribing it’s completely free and you’ll even be notified whenever I upload a video whenever brewing and enchanting were first added to Minecraft players were initially skeptical about adding these magic abilities to the game but clearly now years later it’s become one of the most important aspects of Minecraft

Getting the highest tier of tools and armor is no longer the goal but instead making sure that your gear is decked out with the best enchantments as how players spend most of their time the same could be said for potions imagine preparing for big battles like fighting

The inner dragon or the wither without potions to help you secure a safe victory simply put these features are deeply inscribed into the core of Minecraft yet with two features of that importance they haven’t received any update to make them better or at least more interesting with all of that being

Said let’s see what an alchemist update could do for Minecraft and now for the biggest feature of the alchemy update the alchemy table imagine a new work station that combines the magical aspects of both the brewing stand and the enchantment table to unlock new recipes for potions and chapman’s and

More allowing players to take their enchanted tools and potions one step further using the mechanics of alchemy so what would this alchemy table do you may ask to answer that completely we’ll need to go over a couple of the smaller updates added with the alchemy update so

We’ll return back to the alchemy table a little bit later in the video for now stay tuned you’re not going to want to miss it one half of the alchemy update would be brewing which as I said before is technically speaking the main purpose of the nether specifically being to introduce the

Player to potions yet apart from the occasional new potion we haven’t really seen an update to this system I imagine as part of an alchemy update we would not only get an overhaul of new potion effects but also new potion crafting abilities like for example being able to

Make food with certain buffs imagine making a cake infused with the poison potion so that you can prank your friends or being able to make inventory space by combining your strength potion with your food the possibilities are endless and the best part is with the system like this available players will

Feel more rewarded for their time spent tinkering and exploring the alchemy table as for new potion effects imagine being able to use the new warped fungi to create a potion that allows you to teleport back to your spawn point or the Crimson fungi could be used to increase

Your movement speed and lava as you can see with all the new items in the nether the possibilities are never-ending so that covers the brewing portion of the update but how exactly would this tie into the alchemy table worry not my friend I’ll show you because nothing’s quite as

Good as a hands-on demonstration and as you can see we’ve got just that we’ve got the alchemy table here working in front of us which we can actually open to bring up the GUI now this gives you a little bit of a teaser forward into the video where I’ll talk a

Little bit more about the alchemy table but as you could see it has a normal crafting grid now using this we can combine the various different magical abilities of brewing to create very special potion infused items and enhancement to potions in general now if we take a look at the sugar box you

Could see I briefly mentioned a poisonous cake earlier in the video well this is essentially how you would craft it you would use the alchemy table and put it in a very specific order now this could obviously work for essentially any type of potion and probably any type of

Food as well and that would create a poisonous cake or an instant harming cake a regeneration cake essentially any that you would like now you could also replace the cake with any ordinary food item I just think this would be a very fun way to get a buff that’s not

Necessarily a potion and if you’ve got steak in your inventory already this would be a great way to clear up some space and make use for all of those potions you have laying around but it doesn’t stop there as you briefly saw when I open this up we’ve got some

Really nice fancy looking potions and these are super potions now these are inspired from terraria as you know I really really enjoy that game essentially this is an enhancement to the normal potion that’s not only extended but also stronger and the way that it would be crafted is using some

Sort of special item which currently I’ve got a gold ingot but I would imagine this being more a special new item that would be introduced in the nether like for example infernal stalks which is something I’ve talked about in recent videos so definitely make sure

You go back and watch some of my more recent one so that you don’t miss out on that and various other ideas but essentially you would craft a super potion using this particular set of ingredients blaze powder to make it a little bit more expensive to craft of

Course the potion that you’re trying to make enhanced and of course the special item that I mentioned before now I think this is only the beginning of what’s possible I think there’s so many ways we can make really cool uses of the alchemy table and I’ve definitely got some

Really cool ones to show you a little bit later in the video but as you can see these are entirely drinkable now I probably won’t get any potion effects and yeah we got a bucket you can kind of see what I’m doing here but as you can

See they work as normal potions and apparently you get free buckets so why not wasn’t that exciting a new type of potion food with infused potion effects you really can’t get much better than that except we can and we will with enchanting the second half of the alchemy update first and foremost with

An alchemy update we would certainly see the addition of new enchantments like for example magma Walker to easily navigate the lava seas of the nether or withering to be able to deal with their effects to your enemies I could probably come up with a ton of new enchantments

For this video but honestly enchantments alone aren’t going to do much so how will enchanting be updated and become as amazing as I said it would remember when I said the alchemy table would enhance the magic abilities available from the enchantment table in the brewing stand well by using the alchemy

Table the player would unlock a huge new mechanic for enchantments that being able to push beyond the previous limits and go plus ultra how so you may ask well with a new item called rooms you didn’t think I was gonna stop with super potions did you don’t get me wrong those

Are very cool and poisonous cakes I mean who wouldn’t want that but this what comes next is even better we have expanded and upgraded the enchantment system as part of the alchemy update now the way this would work is essentially we have runes and enchantment upgrades and this is extremely exciting ancient

Runes which as you can see have inscriptions on them there various different letterings these are actually the same ones that come from the galactic alphabet used for the particles on the enchantment table so just to add to that lore imagine finding ancient runes scattered all over the loot tables

Of Minecraft you might find these in shipwrecks you could find them in dungeons for example basically anywhere where there’s a mysterious chest you may find an ancient room which at first glance is seemingly useless but when you take a closer look with the alchemy table it unlocks a new world of crafting

For example you could take a tool like a fortune three pickaxe and organize the ancient runes in various different patterns and this is where it gets really interesting and I’d love to hear your opinions of this I imagine that you’re able to one time boost the number

Past its limits and go plus ultra making fortune 4 or even efficiency 6 that would be amazing it would be an added bonus to go even further beyond the limits we currently have in the game and if you don’t like that idea I’ve got another interesting one for you perhaps

This could be a way to find secret enchantments like Auto smelting for example or we could even use it to create enchanted books now as you could see here I’ve got the four different ancient runes although they would basically be all of the different

Letters as well as a book if you were to use this in the alchemy table in various different patterns this would actually unlock the ability to create specific specific enchanted books which i think would be amazing I mean imagine being able to craft of fortune three books specifically using a certain

Pattern now as you can see we’ve got a recipe book this would show you essentially everything you need to know when it comes to ancient runes in enchanting but wait there’s more oh yes one more idea using the ancient runes that in my opinion really brings this whole alchemy update together you can’t

Have an update without also adding some sort of new structure or enhancing an existing one are you familiar with the library found in the stronghold it usually looks a lot more messy than this and it’s basically used to get an obscure amount of bookshelves but what if there were actually four podiums that

Had the inscriptions of the runes on them and assuming you’ve been collecting them in the world of Minecraft you could actually place them into them and unlock in summon a very special loot chests much like you see here which as you can see it actually has inscriptions on the

Top fun fact that reads loot because that is exactly what this is a mysterious loot chests that would give you benefits and bonuses to different items you could have potions or enchantments that help you defeat the Ender Dragon so if you do actually go through the process of collecting

Ancient runes this is essentially a way to get rewarded by getting additional loot I think this would be a great way to use the library it kind of adds Lord of the whole thing and it’s very very interesting so how would the alchemy table work it would allow players to

Explore the various different ideas in this video in one workstation to keep it clear and concise there would even be a recipe book at it specifically for showing players how to make certain potions buffs or even different uses for the runes and in order to even use the

Alchemy table the player would need some sort of magic currency like the current XP system for example all in all the alchemy update has a lot of potential as it currently stands the presence of magic and minecraft is very low but with an update like this players would have

More opportunities to improve their gear and become the strongest player in the world that’s gonna be it for today’s video if you enjoyed make sure to leave a thumbs up and consider subscribing and turning on notifications so that you never miss an upload and like I said
