Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Rebalance of some items (Including Sharpness enchantment and Gold tools)

Starting out with Sharpness, i feel like the enchantment has been really nerfed in 1.9 at the point that against protection 4 diamond armor players you really can't do damage even with a sharp 5 diamond axe, my suggestion would be either to make 1 level of sharpness = 1 damage or allow Vanilla players to reach up to sharpness 8 or similar, so they can fight properly against similar players, PvE would not be changed at all since Smite there is king anyway (Most of the mobs are undead and those who aren't have not enought hp to not make it viable).

Gold Items : Gold items would really be useful in vanilla if they had even atleast 64 durability or similar (currently 32) since with enchanting (That they also benefit alot from it by having a much higher rate of good enchs) even unbreaking 3 mending can't really help them, for the sword i'd do something different, since it's the only gold tool (Except hoes but that is a common problem with all of them) that does not have any unique characteristic to them, faster attack speed could be interesting, even just 1.8 instead of 1.6

    The Protection enchantment was nerfed alongside Sharpness, and the end result is that a single attack from a Sharp V diamond sword against full Prot IV diamond armor is still greater than it was in 1.8. At least, I think the current 1.08 dmg per hit is pretty significant.

     

    As for gold, I do really appreciate the idea of having all gold tools be faster variants, and I don't really see the need for them to be quite so fragile. But on the idea of attack speed for the sword, there unfortunately isn't much that can be done at the moment in that regard, because swords already swing so close to the maximum rate permitted by damage immunity. That is to say, when a player or mob is hurt, they blink red for half of a second, during which time they can't properly be hit again. The attack speed of 1.6 is already within a tenth of a second of that rate, so increasing the speed on the gold sword to 1.8, or anything else, doesn't really do much for it.

    This need to be fixed. The sharpness 5 diamond sword used to have 13.5 Attack damage, but now its only 10. This thing was nerfed and I don't like it. You should still be able to have 13.5 attack damage because you have worked hard to get the enchantment. For example, a zombie is 3 hits with a sharp 5 diamond sword! It used to be 2! This is not necessary.
