Illagers are Weak to Jade

When I got the village and pillage update, I wasn't expecting for the patrols and raids and the general population of illagers to be so powerful and... well... scary. There is no way to deter the hoards upon hoards I seem to come across in my game and it feels eerily oppressive and limiting to a relatively peaceful player like me (I much prefer building, farming, and getting pets in survival, then I do combat and caving). I would like a way to somehow deter the illagers and jade could be the ore that does that.

Jade has had a history of being a bringer of good omen-- luck if you will. This ore could be what the illagers, bringers of bad omen, are weak to instead of diamond materials. It would give players a reason to go mining more (especially ones like me) and would add some kind of hint of lore to the game involving the sudden influx of these backward villagers.

But what is the real key here is don't give us the ore in caves. Give it to us in the form of new weapons and loot instead. Then we could find it in shipwrecks and dungeons, making the items rarer, balancing out this new power, and give even more of an incentive to explore.

    If illagers were weak to jade instead of diamond, that could add a new weapon to the game that doesn't exactly have to be a sword. It could be a special jade dagger or katana, adding a cool new weapon to the game, specific to the mob type. That would make jade the key to being able to more effectively storm the woodland mansion and the illager posts. Plus it could make raids go by faster.

    What about a jade dragon? The illagers have imprisoned it somewhere deep in the bowels of the Minecraft world, faaaar from spawn, and held down by ropes and chains. You'd be able to realize you were nearing one when you see patrols and guard towers spawn closer together. Freeing the dragon would make the dragon your ally. With it, the dragon would be able to be seen flying around the world, sometimes returning to its nest which could be found in the mountains. You would have to follow it to get to its stash of jade artifacts and sleep curled up next to it for a good omen status effect to improve your enchanting.

    Maybe the jade dragon is the mate of the red dragon but the jade dragon was taken away from their love by the illagers and it's the player's job to get them back together again and end the reign of the illagers over Minecraft. Possibly turning the illagers into wandering villagers that you can bring back to villages or create your own for them. This would make you an actual HERO in Minecraft and would be a lot of fun to play out as an adventure with your friends. This could be a quest that not only is quite cute in the idea of the soulmates, but adds lore, adds gameplay, and adds other features that we've been wanting for a while.

    This idea sounds really cool! I'd love to see this new ore in the game
