All Minecraft Potions Are Spicy: An Essay

I came to this realization when writing a MCYT fanfiction where the cubito is an alchemist right

Milk cancels out all potions. Milk also cancels out spicy food irl

Spiciness is caused by the presence of the chemical capsaicin, which is most commonly found in various peppers, and is cancelled out by the protein casein that is found in natural animal milks (please forgive my rudimentary Googling science for these terms not being 100% scientifically accurate.)

Therefore, for Minecraft potions to be cancelled out by milk, they must likely include capsacin! (It's probable that for the actual effects to be cancelled out, the effects' activation process probably is tied to capsacin, but this is getting out of the realm of Quick Google Research.)

Now, ALL Minecraft potions are cancelled out by milk. So it has to be a common factor in the brewing process for ALL potions.

Now, the only true two shared ingredients in all potions are water (probably not spicy unless allergic) or blaze powder. I first thought it could possibly be nether wart, as a plant-like from the Nether dimension, except weakness potions do NOT use netherwart! They're the only potion not to, as they are made from pure water. Therefore, blaze powder is the universal spicy factor in Minecraft.

By this conclusion, we can assume blazes produce capsacin, and it is at least partially stored in their rods, as that is where the powder is crafted from.

I now want to see Minecraft people use blaze powder in cooking as a seasoning. Would cooking with a blaze rod- either as a tool, or like bay leaves where you take them out later- infuse more spicy into a dish? Does blaze powder add in specific color to a dish? Is adding blaze powder to an otherwise-normal dish a common prank? Are alchemists and witches nearly immune to the spiciness of potions after working with the ingredients for so long, they've developed a spicy tolerance? Do splash potions cause people to tear up from the capsacin that's been areolized? If glowstone increases the potency of potions, would it also increase the spiciness? Is glowstone dust edible?

THIS IS A WHOLE NEW WORLDBUILDING THING TO EXPLORE, MINECRAFT PEOPLE HAVE A COOKING SPICE!!

wither... old fart necromancer !

[wither-and-thither]

The gay has begun.

It feels kind of bad that as of writing my Minecraft headcanon post has 618 posts and the rest of my blog is a barren wasteland, ngl. Tumblr isn’t a popularity contest, true, but also this is the one sideblog I made for my streaming ‘sona and the actual stream posts don’t get any traction? Not sure what to do about that.

[wither-and-thither]

I need to commit unspeakable violence in a videogame.

The running ideas are:

Skyrim

Assassin’s Creed

Hades

[wither-and-thither]

Considering streaming tonight. Maybe. Hm.

[wither-and-thither]

Considering a truly alarming amount of people are reblogging this, feel free to send an ask or come watch me die in a videogame sometime!

(Also I messed up my phrasing there- I use so much redstone in my builds that I cross the words sometimes)

I think I should expose people to my mob player headcanons.

Basically, it’s a tangling of code, like when I try to pull out my purple skein from the yarn crate and pull out five skeins at the same time on accident. Maybe your dad keeps getting repeatedly killed by creepers? There’s a good chance you’ll be part creeper, since traces of his death are left in his code. Maybe your mom runs an industrial scale flower farm? You might be born with flowers growing out of you, since she’s got flowers threaded into her code from being around them so much.

Maybe your parent is a Warden with such a high body count that when you budded out of the mycelium you had human eyes and opposable thumbs, and you had to fucking run because there’s enough Player in your fungus to register as an Intruder. You’ve never seen the sun before.

Maybe your parent’s village was obliterated by Withers and when you screamed your first baby scream the flowers in the flowerbox blackened and died.

Builders eat Redstone because it’s on their hands and everything they touch, including their pantries. Their children eat redstone as essential nutrients and have been known to vampirically drain auto farms through sheer force of hangry.

Given the large amount of people reblogging my other post, I think tomorrow or Friday I should boot up the game and stream a bit.

[wither-and-thither]

Kingspear System approach to a new world:

• Find the center of the world, drop a bed there.

• Find the nearest village and start fortifying it.

• Find the nearest portal and start restoring it to full glory.

• Time To Build Roads.

• Expand The Empire.

I should start streaming Minecraft regularly again. Revamp things a little, make a proper start. There’s a new update coming out and one of my headmates would commit bloody murder for a cherry blossom grove.

Did a picrew of my Minecraft ‘sona since I can’t draw to save my life, time to put this enby in Situations.

They’re a retired Wither that is attempting therapy and a redemption arc with... varying degrees of success. They specialize in rebuilding things, as an attempt to restore the world they destroyed, and they’re absolutely fascinated by the colors of flowers. They also like to be up high (old habits), so they tend to build towers to live in surrounded by flower fields.

It’s significantly complicated by the fact that they’re several hundred souls crammed into an awful Frankenstein of a body made of charred bits of bone and soul sand, but hey. Nobody’s perfect.

This is why I play Assassin’s Creed. What is the joy of murder compared to this?

[wither-and-thither]

What is a crdownload file and how do I make it magically transform into the V:TM Bloodlines Unofficial Patch.

[wither-and-thither]

Okay I have never downloaded a mod in my life, at least not without having my hand held, and for some reason I can’t get the V:tM unofficial patch to cooperate? Girl help.
