Emerald armor & weapons (was: Emerald Weapons)

under review

I think it would be cool if there was emerald weapons and armor. Its weapon strength should be in the middle of wood and gold. Its armor protection should be in the middle of leather and gold.

    Emeralds are not that rare you can trade paper for emerald with villagers

    maybe if there were differences in armor from diamond compared to emerald like emerald gives you increased range damage for crossbows and bow and arrows and faster loading /pulling bowstring back meanwhile diamond armor gives more melee damage and speed

    as for weapons maybe don't make emerald weapons but an emerald bow or crossbow or sometime of new weapon maybe introducing magical weapons so we can have armor and weapons based on the class you want to play as ex: emerald for ranged class, diamond for melee, and some new ore like Saphire or ruby for mage 

     

    it would certainly open the door for adding new ores to not only have effects with stuff like tipped tools and weapons and maybe special stuff with armor ex: layering your diamond armor in tungsten ingots gives you increased attack speed while layering it in saphire gives you more damage etc. and then every new ore added open the door to a brand new calss.

    Emerald are too rare to be between wood/leather and gold strength/protection. If it was added it should be greater than or equal to iron/diamond strength/protection.

    I think it should be between iron and diamond because how rare emeralds are.

    Instead of a new ore weapons, new type of weapons should be added. Weapons from different cultures will be nice eg.spear, Chinese hook sword, bo staff etc.There is only a limited amount of ores available in the game and in real life.

    Why emerald armor? They are already used as currency for villagers so that makes it rarer I guess.I do think that this is a great idea though.

    No, because emeralds are a currency for Villagers and are really rare to find while mining. It think having emerald armor and tools would sorta be wither unused or mess up the economy.

    I like the idea, emeralds are rarer than diamonds so, I think that it shy do half a heart more damage/a little more protection/a little more speed but have the durability of iron tools.

    Guys, I think you have forgotten that emeralds would add nothing. Once you are Good enough to trade for or mine emeralds, you already have at least some iron armor, and possibly diamond tools. 

     

     

    There is no point!!

    If this is added it should do something very different to Diamond armour. It should not be just slightly stronger or weaker than diamond. That doesn't add anything to the game.

    Perhaps Emerald gear would grant a specific benefit that is related to trading with villagers. Maybe emerald gear is very strong against illagers, witches and vexes. Or maybe you can throw emerald armour at villagers and they can wear it like zombies can wear armour.

    I think the Armor should be a bit better than Iron but worse than Diamond, but more durability as Diamond Armor. And for the Weopons the same that they have all more durability as Diamond.

    I feel this would make them lose their uniqueness.

    Honestly I agree with this but, emeralds are actually quite easy to find within ttrading, so maybe instead Mojang could replace the villager currency with a money item, and then emerald armor will be balanced.

    Fun idea, but emeralds arent actually that rare, especially if you get raided, and I think no higher than diamond since that would just be too easy.

    I think it would be better if:

     

    Its strength was higher than diamond.

    Its protection was higher than diamond.

    Its durability was higher than diamond.

     

    Only then would it be viable. Why the hell would you use rarer items for worse tools/armor?

    It should be higher than diamond

    Given how rare emeralds are they should be at a bit better than diamond, and mining speed with that of gold

    emeralds should be a diamond I recon and also emeralds aren't that rare especially with the new raid farms and villager mechanics

    But emeralds are really rare granted that you only mine for them so I think tools it is in between iron and diamond and armour is between iron and diamond but when worn there should be a certain buff

    There is a addon on mcpedl, but if you are on xbox or switch, maybe.

    I really like the idea of emerald tools and armor being in the game!! The one thing I want to add is that I think they should be a little better than between wood and gold for tools and leather and gold for armor. Even when trading with villagers, it's hard to get enough to actually make a set of armor and make a lot of tools. It's up to Mojang but just thought they should be a little better than how you put it. Anyway, great idea and hopefully it comes to the game!

    what about emerald armor having spikes 1 by default

    This would be cool to think about, but considering how fragile they are in real life and how rare they are in the game, putting time into making the armor probably wouldn't be worth it. Like gold, which is semirare and super weak.
