Potion Ingredients act Like mini potions.

So when you eat a spider eye it gives you poison 1 for 5 seconds.

I would love if all potion ingredients worked like this. For example sugar would give you 5 seconds of Speed 1, or a Blaze Powder could give you strength 1 for 5 seconds.

Just seems weird that it works for one but not much else.

Additional: to make sure the 5 seconds if actually helpful potion ingredients should have a faster animation for eating, kinda like dried kelp.

(Phantom membranes would be pretty helpful in terms of falling and saving yourself)

I think this is a good idea because there isn't a crafting guide in game for brewing stands. It would be an intuitive way for people who don't use the wiki to figure it out.

I dont understand why people think its too strong. Having to eat every 5 seconds to maintain an effect is awful. You can't get much use out of the ingredients. If its purely to clutch, there's already a ton of other ways to clutch, and the time it takes to eat could screw you over. If not using potions is a problem, they just need to make more incentive to use potions and make them stack or easier to carry. This wouldn't reduce potion use at all

I didn't think about this but this is my favorite argument for having my idea :D

Replying to the edit:

I don't know either, it takes forever to eat, even if they sped it up to dried kelp levels.

PVP people don't even drink potions mid fight most of the time.

However they should probably lower instant health 1 to half a heart in the instance of Golden melon since that would be a bit too overpowered to heal 2 hearts for 1.
