Iron Nuggets and craftable Chainmail

Iron nuggets do not serve much of a purpose right now. Why not make them the ingredient to craft chain armor?

Think about it: iron ingots are complete bars that are used to create what can be assumed to be full plate armor. Iron nuggets are smaller bits of iron that could easily be manipulated into chains to create chainmail, which is weaker than iron. You use a less valuable resource to create a less protective armor. Makes sense, right?

There’s also the fact that chain armor is rare to find and not too useful by the time you do find it. This would make it a viable armor set and give Iron nuggets a tangible use.

    It might also be cool if the iron nuggets would be crafted into chains first, then into chainmail - It would make it a little bit more expensive for the sake of balance, while also opening up opportunities for other crafting recipes - Of course, that would be for another post.

    This would be a very cheap way to get some armor without having to use much resources. Voted!

    Seeing as the 20w16a snapshot added a craftable chain block, it feels like the perfect moment to upvote this.

    Becauce crafting chainmail with the new chain blocks makes perfect sense

    If there are chain items in Minecraft, then shouldn't we be able to make chain mail armor with chains

    I think iron Nuggets are better than chain blocks because chain blocks are crafted with an iron ingot and two iron nuggets and that is more expensive than iron ingots.

    it has a better margin of error if you accidentally craft and then smelt it
