Netherite Upgrade Improvements

The Netherite Upgrade is a decent idea, but so far it isn't implemented in an ideal way. So I have a solution. Make the Piglin Brutes drop 1 netherite Upgrade each. This gives players a reason to fight Piglin Brutes instead of just dumping lava on them, as the template would burn in lava if you cheesed the fight. And if you wanted to go even further, you could change the gold parts in the Piglin Brute texture to netherite and give them netherite axes. Another improvement would be to change the crafting recipe for duplicating the template. The crafting recipes for other templates are fine, but if we're gonna make netherite a little more difficult to obtain, we need a better recipe. Instead of 7 diamonds and one piece of netherrack, it should be 7 magma cream and one wither skull. This would not only be a little more difficult to duplicate (without making it too hard), but from a lore perspective it would make sense. We know that piglins hate withers, and we know that bastions have lots of magma cubes. Please add this, and I will not add a TLDR. Just read the post.

  Netherite is already super tedious. I agree that the template needs a way to obtain without getting it from loot, but seven magma cream and a wither skull is way too expensive and would make obtaining Netherite just not worth it to get.

  I agree with this idea, increasing grind time by exclusively making the player get literally a stack of diamonds is a terrible choice on mojang's part progression wise and just searching chests isn't better either. The goals for this change is "to utilise more diamonds within progression" and "make netherite more of an accomplishment" both possible ways to get the item can easily be achieved without using any diamond tools whatsoever, heck it would be cheaper to do so without diamonds. and I'm very sure holding down left click for 4 hours is a grand accomplishment. Having netherite be behind a combat goal instead of a test of patience really utilises since having better tools and armour actually means life or death in combat.

  there are a few things I am against in this suggestion though, piglin brutes should not have the netherite axe because that gives the player a free netherite axe and the brute is already pretty powerful afaik. The recipe also is a bit annoying since the wither skulls should be used on the wither itself. Perhaps you could use some other nether drop for it? The one that comes to mind for me are ghast tears since they are quite challenging to get without losing them in the lava.

  I really hope mojang listens to your idea.

  I agree with this, but killing piglin brutes is just dumb. It doesn't make sense that piglin brutes drop it. Maybe Mojang should add an another way to obtain it, because obtaining the netherite upgrade and the netherite upgrade itself don't make sense at all.
