Alright, first off, does anyone notice how having a belly full of cookies & cake heals a sword stab to the gut? I know, I know, this is Minecraft, but come on! Irl, you need many other things to get well, not just your nightly desert! Anyways, onto the meat of the suggestion. First of all, natural regen should be greatly reduced/disabled (this would be in the config, don’t freak out), because you don’t heal just ‘cause you’re not hungry. Now, moving on; the medicines.

Bandage Used for applying herbs (not really, you put it on after you apply the herb, but Minecraft doesn’t work like this). You can aply 2 herbs per bandage & can be stacked up to 4 if it has the same herbs on them. 3 wool in a row makes 1 bandage.

Pestle & mortar Used to make powders from herbs, which are then used on bandages to put on wounds. Stick in the top row, pebble beneath that, & a bowl in the bottom

Herbs Athelas Needs an overhaul, as the medicine is a poultice, not a drink. Grind in the mortar to get the powder, the put this in container filled with water (not a barrel) & hold right click to apply. Gives regen 2 (0:45)

Goldenseal Semi-rare plant, grind & put on a bandage to stop most bleeding (aids blood clotting, heals 4 hearts immediately)

Yarrow Common plant, stops minor bleeding (heals 2 hearts immediately)

Aloe vera Semi rare plant, most common in the savannas of far Harad, but also found in the arid savanna & jungle edge. Aids healing, giving regeneration 1 (0:45, or 9 hearts over time)

Achiote Semi rare plant, found in the Tauredain jungle, & rarely along the edge. Acts as a berry bush, giving 1 fruit per harvest. Grind to get the seed, which can be ground again for the useable herb, or crafted shapelessly to get red dye. Gives regeneration 1 (0:30, or 6 hearts)

Marigold Common flower, found in the Westlands, Umbar, Dorwinion, Rhudel, & Khand. Grind for useable medicine, craft for orange dye. Gives regeneration 1 (0:25, or 5 hearts)

Other healing

Sleep Yes, bed rest. This would allow you ‘sleep’ during the day, giving you a little regen, maybe 1 heart each 20 to 30 sec?

Death … Seeing as you start out with a new character each time you die, do I really need to explain this?

Thanks for reading, criticism & suggestions appreciated.
