Hello EMC, I know that there are numerous downsides to allowing invisibility potions but I have a way to ensure that they are not used for players committing wrong doings. I would like to have them enabled to hide from mobs in the wild, although I do suggest that custom mobs can still see you but you are invisible to regular mobs. The way I propose that players can not commit wrong doings with the potions is that we create a plug in that allows players to see you as a kind of ghost type player so that the players are still visible and can't be caught spying on others or committing griefing acts opon others. I would like to see this idea come into play because players such as I myself do get stuck out in the wild at night and would like a way to continue doing what their business is other than having to look for shelter.
Pretty sure this has been suggested before. It's tabled on the discussion board from what I know. Minecraft changes in the future affect it greatly.
It says on the already suggested ideas that a suggestion has been made to block them but not to bring them back.
Torches, gloewdtone, sea lanterns, redston lamps, lava, glass and half slabs all "de-mobify" an area if you are trying to work on something for a long time. Other than the lava they all take up less inventory space and all last a lot longer than a potion effect. While true also these options allow for less mobility they are still alternatives.
The only thing I'd want invisibility potions for is PVP arena... maybe then I could actually win (but probably not)
I do belive guardians can't attack you with an invisibility potion effect. That would be very helpful, but there are still many disadvantages.
