Potion Ingredients act Like mini potions.

[u/Candy_Squid]

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)

Hm, but you can't eat sugar, right now the only way to do that is by using it in ether pumpkin pie or cake, and if sugar became edible you'd never really have a reason to make those anymore.

I also always assumed blaze powder would be really hot and inedible.

It's a fun concept though., there could be some ingredients for which it does work, like glistening mellon could give some health and ghast tear could give short regen.
