Minecraft's New Armor Is Insane

That'd be dope ah

also want to costumized the looks of the tools since the templates looks nice

everyone hated the glow inc sac and now everyone want it now

That would be soooooo cool

@Ribbuns Sadly if the community want's it they will never actually get it

i agree, this is part of the reason I love the dungeons, dragons, and spaceshuttles so much, because it puts an emphasis on exploring first

@N -R Mnecraft is adding armor modifications and you’re saying adding a few more weapon types is too much?

@pᴉʞxolqoɹpǝɹǝƃƃᴉɹt I didnt say it should be like RLCraft, in that modpack you have a constant resting pulse of 120. Im just saying MC could make use of more weapons. The game became much more like an adventure with recent updates, weapons should follow now. Only the standard sword is a bit boring.

@CODA Creepers blowing up your house is no where as stressful and overwhelming as RLCraft. Vanilla Minecraft shouls not become anywhere near as complex as RLcraft, although I do think that Minecraft could benefit from some of the features in RLCraft.

@N -R Minecraft has made it clear with all the recent updates that its supposed to become more of an adventure game. The next logical step would be adding more variety in weapon choice. After you've gotten iron Armor, the game pretty much becomes boring.

@Gyarik how does that make any sense😭

Cherry blossom biome is coming to Minecraft vanilla as well :)

@Chilled Bacon that’s true and they work on other games in the process so it’s not all on one game. They have dungeons, earth, and now legends to focus on. I kinda forgot about that too lol

@WordedHalo they could probably do more without having to go through the corporate ladder for each idea or fix. theres a reason companies are way slower to make changes and whatnot, and its usually because it has to run through like 50 different people before being approved. it might be an easy thing to implement, but to get it authorized is a pain in the ass (from what i understand. im no game dev, but i understand a bit about what can go on behind the scenes). the nice thing about modders is that they dont have to go through the ladder shenanigans and can implement whatever since they have so much freedom

@Chilled Bacon that’s absolutely true but at the same time Minecraft is getting paid to do the work they do and a lot at that. And I don’t know about game design but compared to other games it doesn’t seem like the hardest work. I just feel like they could be doing more considering they’re like the most played game ever

@icee martinez I am kiddin

@Inoki Fran Cae im not even a bedrock player

@Rocco Lowe bedrock users don't get that feature

@Rocco Lowe I think he means the grey/iron border of the shield, to make it gold

@Tsumugi the already kinda did that with the snout and eye templates, but I understand what you mean.

yeah, i hope they add that, and dimension themed templates too to look awesome

@hyucks_andkisses god and jesus merged together into the god christ, more powerful than even jeff bezos

until one specific trim becomes the meta and everyone uses it

If your in a SMP war everyone can be team color/trim

@CakeEatingPirate it may be possible for them to make their own trims, I don't think they will get out of their way to do that.

@Crabican would it work though? as in wouldn't they have to tweak the team colors to match up with the colors on the trimmings?

@Elias Gutierrez yeah those were cool

YES!!!!!

DUDEEE I ALWAYS WANTED TO HAVE THOSE

@SprayInk & CritGlitch I made 11 unique sword trims in a pixel art program to try it out. It's definitely doable on swords. Tools is a bit trickier I'll admit. Though on tools the color coding is more interesting than unique patterns. Maybe 1 specific tool pattern found in villages?

@Wivd Naming them still requires you to mouse over them, while color coding is visible at first glance. I color code my shulker boxes too, so why not make my fortune pick green, and silk touch blue?

just name ur tools when you enchant them cuz then its only 1 more enchant level.

@SprayInk & CritGlitch Handles?? Idk lol

how and where. tools are between 1 and 3 pixels wide.

@benjamin martindale The PVP update is still my favorite change they implemented. I seriously don't understand why people are still so butthurt about it when it literally made the combat more engaging and fun?

@benjamin martindale i still dont get why people were so upset. Like sure, everyone was used to simply spam clicking, but surely a more skill based pvp system would be something to be thankful for? Only real issue is crystal pvp to be honest

only bad thing they did was the pvp update a while back, that really killed a chunk of the community when they did that.

Think about Skyrim, 11th november 2011 release and still a big thing, especially in the modding community. But yeah Minecraft is also a interesting phenomenon with that. :D I'm playing it personally most of the time with mods as well since I consider Vanilla MC more of the boring things, especially when it comes to automations and big chunk clearing 😂 I'd like to autofarm any resources (Diamonds are not real possible in vanilla yet, even tho they are pretty useless in vanilla terms beside getting your armor and tools, now they are needed at least for some armor decoration improvements which is good for me) and there are many mods to help you cleaning out big areas in nearly no time compared to doing it on your own beside a Haste2 Beacon for example ^^

That doesn’t really make sense though, I mean the glow kinda does but really they should add glow to leather armor only

@MarpyPlarpy okay that’s a perfect achievement name. “Cover Me In… Everything?” sounds so much like an actual advancement

maybe not for every type of armour, just every type of trim

@MarpyPlarpy yeah mine sounds like a trophy for PlayStation

@dr. rio forever another cool name for it could be "Cover Me In... Everything"

how about the name "artist" for the achievement

A little, try more than double. A full set of diamond armour and tools (excluding the hoe) is 33 diamonds. With this new update the cost of those same items in netherite is now 82 diamonds and that’s just standard netherite with no trim. They’ve made netherite stupid expensive for a feature that is purely cosmetic Netherite shouldn’t require a template it should work just like before and then the trim can be an optional addition. Because as it stands you’re going to spend 82 diamonds just getting full netherite gear, then you have to get the trim you want then duplicate it 4 times which is an additional 28 diamonds for a grand total of 110 diamonds Or you can try and find 8 netherite upgrades and 4 of whatever trim you want but that’s going to be complete RNG and take who knows how long. A fortune enchanted pick would be faster and more consistent

That would be the bare minimum considering they just jacked up the price of full netherite armour from 24 diamonds to 45 for no reason. It’s literally going to cost 82 diamonds for full netherite armour and all 3 tools plus a sword. That doesn’t include the trim by the way which you would need to dupe 4 times for an additional 28 diamonds Or you could rely on RNG and just hope you get lucky and find the 8 netherite upgrades and 4 trims you need to avoid paying the duplication cost

I agree, it would be really nice if the trims had minor status effects that corresponded to their location. It would also be awesome if the smithing table could be used to bring weaker armor and tools closer to the standard of neatherite at an appropriate cost of course. There should also be an option to remove the shimmer from enchantments entirely because the armor sets look really clean without it. I hope they do a lot more with letting players choose what armor they want to wear because they’ve definitely just opened that door.

armor meta

Hey a spino!

@private last if they'd use their brains, they'd probably use glow sacs for leather armour and glowstone for all the rest

Maybe add echo shards as a dark twinkle to contrast on light armor

@Booklat1 a billion dollar company takes way too long to produce minimal content.

I think they could use use glow ink sacs, glowstone dust, and magma blocks to get different color glows

@Delayed I know that. Not everyone has a cape though, and default elytras are ugly

@Witch Crona if you have a cape then the elytra takes on the design of the cape, it's pretty cool looking

@Tyler Sutton exactly, reasons we are incapable of fathoming.

I hope custom elytras are next

@Hypertek Extinctionno NBT data tags in bedrock

Even if they do remove that, you’ll probably be able to get it with commands if you want it for map making

@A guy on the internetto be fair, if a bugs cool enough it becomes a feature. For example, crawling.

@Imagine_Big Yeah, like how the Illusioner or Johnny Vindicator are easter eggs, probably should've used Easter egg than secret

@Mahmoud Ahmed All the armor trims except the diamond to netherite gear upgrade are cosmetic

is it just for customization or you get increased stats from it?

@Werewolf turtle master helm?

@Samir Pernell I know, that number is without trims. Just dyes

Xisumas video said theres 616 combos because you can put it on the turtle master helm, he also made a short showing them all m

@Cubedex With every combo of trims

@Baggerz may satan bless you

@laddershuffle maybe like an option to use the ability of a trim on a color you like so everyone doesn't use the same trim

@Financial Problems thats true, Maybe they could give all of them a durability buff for adding a trim and a collor. It wil all be the same so it gives good incentive but it would be fun to make it usseful

I'm inclined to agree but then everyone will just pick the objectively best set and there would be no point in using other variances

@Splashyatom431 the pharaoh

@A guy on the internet use different colors for every factions and different trims for every job inside the faction

This would be perfect for faction servers!!

gonna update my server when this update drops immediately lol

@A guy on the internet itd be cool to have the same color for each faction but different trims for individual team members within that faction so everyone can tell each other apart

@Jedian we do💀.

@Jedian play rlcraft, look into it seriously, it's basically a whole other game in itself and you'd probably like something like that.

@Jedian you do realize that Minecraft is a sandbox game. Any content added, even if just cosmetic, is content. Sometimes they create nice new mechanics, other times their uses are niche and some times they don't have any technical use and are purely for looks. Minecraft is about creativity and innovation. You kinda create your own content. If by "actual content" you mean redstone stuff, well, we've had at least 1 game altering change per update. If you mean new biomes, why? It's quite a balanced amount and the only reason to add a new biome is for new building blocks, which you stated to not really like anyway. World generation has been revamped, villager trading still receives slight adjustments. So really, what is this "actual" content if it's not the above? New mobs? Those aren't really interesting unless you add new drops, and new drops leads to new building blocks and cosmetics. A new dimension? That's gonna take quite a bit of work, especially since The End needs a visual update(which is also basically cosmetic and only adds new building blocks), let alone that a new dimension would just add that, new blocks and cosmetics. Maaaaaybe a boss fight, but all bossfights in Minecraft can be cheesed.

@Jedian I can understand you, maybe you should try out some Modpacks then. There are some "Hardcore Survival" Modpacks where you need to manage for Thirst, Hunger (eating the same all the time is not possible), Temperatures, etc Also Mobs can be stronger, in hordes, better AI, etc Thanks to modded MC a big chunk of players are still playing this game I believe, including me. For me personally, I like the idea of customizing your armor (and hopefully Tools and Weapons too soon) But since I play mostly in singleplayer (I don't like playing on "official" servers, mostly the good stuff is simply banned for reasons) or with a few friends (which doesn't really like Modpacks) there's no direct sense for me in it, but it's still nice2have for me.

@Jedian my guy just mod your game

@Ville Linnros thanks!

That might be hard to code, but probably not impossible. And as others have said, worst case if you want it to glow, could make the glow ink sac more useful by making the trim glow, so combining that with enchanting could have some really cool effects!

@Craftimus its a built in datapack that you have to turn on

Maybe we can use glow inc sacs to make the armor glow and normal inc sac to remove the glow

whats going on? I'm playing on snapshot 23w04a but theres no smithing templat

@Mr. Surname bruh i forgot where i put 18 stack diamond and 7 stack emerald i shold make auto sorter last i seen yesterday

@LODЯYИS Who does care that it's 48 emeralds when you can get multiple stacks of emeralds easily in few minutes

@Neon avg skyblock player

@Neon Welcome to piglin trading, any villager trading hoping to get what you want, mob drops, chest loot, literally all of minecraft

@Atom i play java my base is near swamp but mushroom in swamp only in bedrock nearest dark oak is 4k block away from my base i still trying to figure out why i cant place mushroom near my base to make mushroom farm

Honestly is not, i think is way better they don't having habilitys

@_JLC you can add an Unbreakable tag if you need infinite durability, but yeah as for adding more finite durability, you cant

You can even do teams by trim color and classes for games that have loadouts/classes with the trim type.

@Diego I bet when they added shulkers you were like: “oH LiKe tHe iNvEnToRy AlReAdY pRoViDeD???”

@PixelGMS you can modify the stats of leather armor using commands(cant for durability tho) but its useful if people make minigames in survival, and aesthetics

@Diego but now you have armor points

@PeChips thanks!

@Craftimus you have to enable the "update_1_20" data pack on the world creation screen

whats going on? I'm playing on snapshot 23w04a but theres no smithing templat

This is the end for optifine cit resource pack creators

No because then everyone will have the same one If it’s purely cosmetic everyone will have a different one

if you use the rib pattern with quartz on netherite, the helmet looks like a wither skull. that was probably the direction they were going for.

perhaps they wanted to make the fortress trim look worn and battle-torn

@A guy on the interneteh. The emerald is better.

of course you love the gold trim. Everyone loves a gold trim

Horse armor customization would be a nice addition as well. As one of those people that actually made the bedrock super horse I would greatly appreciate giving him the drop he deserves

In the same update, they reduced the enchantment glow just for this very reason.
