I Know Mojang Doesn't Really Do This But...

I personally think that Mojang should remove the Netherite upgrade and replace it with something else. It's tedious and annoying to collect, and it doesn't really have any lore behind it. A better idea would be to have some sort of piglin schematic crafted with magma cream, a sticky substance. That would have it make sense of how the Netherite sticks to the diamond armor. It also reduces fire damage, and magma cream is used in fire resistance potions.
