Turtle Helmet blocks Mace attack

The Turtle Shell Helmet is an item that you rarely need to use.
In PvP, the Mace is extremely OP: it can one-hit even Full-Netherite players.

Why not make the Turtle Helmet better by adding a new little mechanic?
 
• Turtle Helmet now provides protection specifically against falling attacks from the Mace.
• After blocking a falling attack, the Turtle Helmet breaks/receives high durability damage.
• Attacking with the Mace can still damage the player, only falling attacks are blocked by the helmet.
 
This can be a nice little mechanic to make the Turtle Helmet more useful in combat! :)

    Good idea but instead of blocking it completely, it blocks half

    I feel like this doesn't work, for starters it takes forever to wait for turtles to grow up, not only that but I feel like players would be more willing to hold on to their turtle helmets for later if it just takes one falling attack from a mace to either destroy it or severely damage it, and since they hit their attack that just means they take no damage, not only that but they would be close to you, and now you're stuck with a nearly broken helmet or no helmet while the attacker would probably be in full armor.

    While this is a great idea, just to make sure that the Turtle helmet is not too OP, it should instead block something like 90% of the damage from falling Mace attacks.

    turtle helmet is surely good in early game but usually isnt even worth bothering since how you get it, it would be better if water breathing extended based on respiration level too, so it would give more noticeable bonus
    not playing PvP nor I care much but idea seem interesting however, instead of taking any increased damage, it could drop on ground as entity you could punch to send rolling around, damaging whatever it hits by small amount and causing knockback and then drops as item you can pick up, making it then not OP protection as you got one hit and helmet is down, but also working as idea intended, giving player some protection from mace specifically and not losing helmet by it taking some insane durability penality, more important however would be Mario reference, that would be fun to see, unless Nintendo would own concept of sending around turtle shells to hit things and thus making this illegal

    What if you could surround the Turtle Shell Helmet in Netherite and Diamond to create a Reinforced Turtle Helmet?

    It would protect from the mace, but in water you are pulled down fast, which would add a downside to using it.

    It's an interesting idea, but I doubt it gets added because Mojang seems to be going down a path that doesn't want animals to be exploited for literally any reason. Personally, I think that the mace balances itself out because of how hard the hits are to land, but definitely an interesting idea!

    Even though I don't do much PvP, this feels like a really minecrafty idea and would be pretty exciting to see come into the game. It might even be cool if players can't land attacks at all on someone with the turtle helmet, since then players could suddenly equip turtle helmets to trick players trying to mace them.

    I think that this would make a good counter to the unmatched strength of the mace. I think you could make the turtle helmet have little to no protection but would make you resistant to the mace but more vulnerable to sword, axe, trident, or bow/crossbow.

    cool then maybe the turtle shell would crack and the last hit before it broke it would not deal damge

    I agree with this, since Turtle Helmets are supposed to be from turtles. it'd make sense if it was more durable and could negate the damage taken by a mace by a large amount.

    And the balances you mentioned are quite good, not only would this provide uses for the turtle helmet, but also would create new strategies in PVP.

    If this was added, I wouldn't be surprised to see a new form of PVP which would utilize this mechanic a lot, I could definitely see a lot of potential with this one.

    The turtle helmet currently only has 2 uses, and that is giving players that wear this helmet 10 seconds of water breathing and increasing armor points by a bit. So, I think this is such a useful mechanic for such a rare item.

    Really cool would be if it reduces damage from crits by a good bit too, not fully, just like 20%

    maces are way too easy to dodge and have shield blocking already. this would just make them useless against players who simply set up turtle farms. sure, it can 1-hit players, but actually getting a good hit is the hard part. if anything, maces should be harder to block.
