Minecraft's New Armor Is Insane 

love this idea!

Yeah this has to happen

Totally on this idea!

could have a similar glow to enchantments; this is a great idea

yes 90%

I agree. It was so easy to get to the late game and then once you got there netherite just felt boring.

This is why i have been playing RL Craft lately. The game needs a BIG weapon update in where you can craft rapiers/Greatswords with additional effects such as absorbing damage, giving lifesteal or poison/bleed damage and different bows.

@CODA idk about all that, that’s a lot of mechanics for a game where one of the most enjoyed aspects is the simplicity and relaxing nature of it

@MrFisterUrSister Having creepers blow up half your house is also not relaxing. If players dont wanna engage in exploration, then they would play on peaceful/creative. Adding more weapons gives it more depth and more fun.

@Lenox pl gets boring after having full iron set

banners?

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

@Rocco Lowe bedrock users don't get that feature

@Inoki Fran Cae im not even a bedrock player

mods have been doing more and better years before. If it takes a year just for these cosmetic features it's simply not worth it

@Gyarik yea, but dont copare mods to oficial updates, mods only need to work on 1 version, this will need to work on both java and bedrock, plus future versions, and future mods as well.

@Ricardo Rocha Exactly. I always hate when people compare official updates to mods. Like actual old Minecraft mod developers who now work on official Minecraft updates as Mojang employees have said themselves that developing a mod and developing an update are two completely different things and should not be compared.

@King Nedya btw ideas of mods can be implemented

@King Nedya idk if you have any idea on what goes through in Software Engineering, but if that's all they can muster up in over a year of development cycle(s) then i'm sorry to say they've been doing a bad, or rather, poorly organized job, specially in terms of quality. I'm comparing it to mods because in comparison modders (generally) have no real sense of design and implementation patterns, yet i've seen so much better content coming out of them.

Instead of identifying your teammates using dyed leather armor, once you buy iron/diamond armor in bedwars it would automatically be trimmed

repent to God Christ

@Crabican That would require them to update the servers!

@Tobias lol ok buddy

@Tobias I’m christian and i’ve never heard “God Christ” said before. God and Jesus Christ are separate names lol

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

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

That and ender pearls for that dark blueish green color that we all know and love Blaze rods/powder would also look pretty cool for a more molten look, and I feel like glowstone was an obvious choice that they forgot to implement (since it too is a mineral/gem). Chain would be a really cool trim, since it could make it look like you’re wearing a layer of chainmail beneath your armor.

DUDEEE I ALWAYS WANTED TO HAVE THOSE

YES!!!!!

@Elias Gutierrez yeah those were cool

Lmao true!!!

I only unlocked 75% of the achievements so sad

naah. They have some tough achievements, but 550 armor sets would be mind-numbingly difficult, like you cannot imagine.

Cave's advancement pack definitely gonna include that achievement

​@aguyontheinternet8436 if they add a checklist book or something to make it easier then it could be possible

armor meta

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.

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

@TheJjcczz are you this bad at minecraft-...diamonds arent even hard to get

This 👆🏾. I need this in my life 😂

I don't know if they added it tho, would be pretty cool if they did

flowing lava as a material wouldn't make sense but it would be cool as hell

@Bruh Sauce bucket of lava might work

They would never, I wish

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 ^^

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

@benjamin 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

@benjamin 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?

YES THEN I CAN HAVE FULL RGB AMOUR

Repeating what Anthony B said in another comment, maybe this glow could be achieved by using glowing ink sacks!

@ɅRCYNAL MOD IDEA????????????????????????????????????????

It would be sooooooo cool in optifine if the armor can provide as a light source instead of having to hold torches!

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

Too bad bedrock doesn't have banner shield Ms (unless it's been updated idk)

*cries in bedrock*

Yes, banner shields we can’t have in Bedrock because reasons we are incapable of fathoming

I feel like it’s too complex

@Hypertek Extinction But we do have a lot things that pc Minecraft has, so it's fine

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

Going to invade a faction in style

@Maria Louraine Bañosia what team trim are you going with?

But the trims are mostly difficult to tell the difference between at a distance. It would probably be better to choose a faction color instead

@A guy on the internetbruh doesnt matter it still looks cool

Yes

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

YOOOO make it light up when you walk like those sketchers every kid wanted. I would lose my mind

I hope they add actual content to the game, rather than crap cosmetics and building blocks.

@Jedian hey minecraft has a diverse community and this update is focused on a set of players. but yeah i kinda agree that im itching for the next big thing but at the same time im completely fine waiting an update for it

@Jedian my guy. We literally just had a huge update that had to be broken into pieces because the team bit off more than they could chew. Let us have our silly little update with the Dino-dog and cool armor.

@Jedian yeah, but cool ass gold trim on the netherite

repent to God Christ

@Tobias ?

@Prince Axolotl its a bot or a spammer, ignore

@Jedi Sentinel spammer for algo

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

Every armor tier with every armor trim with every color, and every combo of enchantments. Soooooo many diamonds...

At the very least, there is 550 different metal/gem armor sets to make. The turtle helmet can also be trimmed, but it doesn't have a set so it doesn't count. And that isn't including leather, as you can make 12,326,391 leather armor sets.

Cue Pete with his infinite Iron man suits

@A guy on the internet you can't trim the leather unfortunately

@Samir Pernell you mean fortunately because making every combo of leather armor w/ trim would be insane.

yeah, fair. Well, the smithing table was added in 1.14, and it's 1.20 now. So by 1.26, we'll get trim with tools.

@A guy on the internet can't wait ;)

That was my first thought too. Even just swords would be nice. But all tools would be so good.

I always kept my silk touch diamond but made fortune netherite. I use fortune most. Also i name everything of mine. depending on my build style at the time, i'll name them to fit. Id still regardless would love to see trimmed tools. Like the sword can have runic etching as a trim style.

oh, like leather armor already offered?

@Diego but now you don't have to sacrifice the functionality of every armor type other than leather

@Diegobut with the durability, protection, or other benefits of other armour sets, yeah

@Diego Armor has very limited defense though. This allows for high defense and also for differentiating teams.

@Diego but now you have armor points

i love rng

w.smith villager also i guess it will be about 48 emeralds each

@LODЯYИS Who cares for the costs since you can simply just zombify-heal-them till they are down to 1 emerald anyways, same for enchanted books, etc

@Xalandriel as far as i know, you can't "zombify-heal-them" wandering traders

i guess fletching table will added funtion soon...

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

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.

lol, that's probably going to be labeled a bug

@A guy on the internet Probably, but I hope it keeps since it can be a secret way to make broken netherite or netherite with a face in the chestplate (ward pattern)

@Iskraft If you want it to be secret you probably shouldn't post it all on the internet.

@A guy on the internet secret, as in, an easter egg

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

i've never gotten netherite lol

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.
