Surggestion for Combat - Combine 1.8 and 1.9 - Make Armour Unquie

the community is split with pre 1.9(Bedrock) and post(Java) combat with veterans of both, people will be unset if the attack speed is left (and Added to Bedrock) or removed(Not added to Bedrock)

So how do you please everyone?

This would also mean people would start to use new armour combos. some people with different fighting styles might choose new combos... But Diamond has to be the prefered!

The effect of the armour is per piece (e.g. netherite's knockback resistance)

Note; I use numbers mainly to help you understand what it means. it's just an example

+1.6(Java) Attack Speed of weapons

Leather and Chainmail doesn't effect Attack Speed

Gold has -0.1 Attack Speed per piece

Iron has -0.2 Attack Speed per piece. your speed is decreased by 1.25% per piece

Diamond has -0.4 Attack Speed per piece. your speed is decreased by 2.5% per piece

Netherite has -0.4 Attack Speed per piece. your speed is decreased by 2.5% per piece. you lose hunger fast per piece

Also you'd have to look at the armour bars(Chainmail and iron helmets are the same, you'd have to change then if you where to use this idea)

Attack speed enchant +0.6 Attack speed per level for chestplates, does not stack with protection

Quicksilver Potion +3 Attack Speed, possibly brewed with silver?
