Netherite armor should make you sink in water

Since the Netherite armor is the new META I think it should be balanced by making you sink in water. Full Netherite armor would make a player completely sink and unable to swim up. Only in the water though, lava swimming would still be fine since Nethertite comes from Nether and floats on lava after all.

    Netherite is strong enough to be completely resistant against tnt and because of its weight, it's harder for players with it on to be knocked back. I think it would make sense that the player would have trouble swimming with it on.

    The player should sink faster the more nethrite armor that they have on, making it harder to swim, and they should fall fast enough through water to take fall damage when they have a full set on.

    Whit this, it opens the possibility for a equivalence system for end game armor, making the player change their gear accordingly (situation or necessity), making Netherite a option to Diamond instead of a replacement will ensure that the Netherite/Diamond won't be obsolete in future updates.
