Combat: Armor/Weapons add weight

Armor adds weight, the more it protects you the more it weighs(this weight slows you down in combat), furthermore studed armor crafted using nuggets and leather would protect you less that the heavy armor, but you would move a lot faster, iron studded armor would just change to chainmail, but the texture would need to change to chainmail woth leather behind it(like how its usually seen irl). If new techniques were to be added such as parrying or side steping, the movement would be restricted. This vould also be applied to wepons, for example if there was still hit delay, the heavier and the larger the wepon the slower you hit. With the whole delay system, consider having a heavy attack and a light attack, the difference is the heavy attacks do more damage but have a hit cool down where you cannot do light, heavy, or blocks(for example the thrust with a sword is a jeavy attack, or slamming the axe down like you do kn 1.9).

  Yeah, that would finally make leather armor and armor stands more useful!

  I've been having the same idea for a while, it forces the player to think about the armor/weapons they use instead of going straight for diamond all the time. However, I'd also like to add a couple ideas of my own:

  • Gold should be really heavy despite its overall mediocrity, however, this is compensated for with an XP boost provided by equipping gold items.
  • A simple new tier should be added which is only slightly above leather called "hardened leather" and only applies to armor.
  • The ability to combine armor components. Say, the ability to make a chestplate that is part leather and part iron, or part iron and part gold (to gain a slight XP boost), with the properties of both materials combining.

  I agree with this post, and it would be nice if we took less knockback with heavier armour.

  I don’t think it it necessarily needs to add new armor or attacks but I do think weapons and armor having weight would add a layer of strategy
