Smithing Table Cosmetic Armor Functionality

There are a lot of ideas for the smithing table, here mine (in addition to the Netherite upgrade)

It could be used to give armor simple, cosmetic designs. I've always found that on servers, everyone wearing identical diamond armor can be confusing and boring. And even in single player I've always wanted to have both customization and protection.

Seeing the Netherite armor gave me an idea. The smithing table could be used to just make minor cosmetic changes to armor, just to make a bit more interesting and diverse, like Netherite. It could even keep the current UI, and just add items to armor. Some random (and bad) examples:

• +Sand = Wavey design
• +Feather = Bird design
• +Rotten Flesh = Damaged design
• +Leather = Adds a belt
• +Pumpkin = Spooky Design

Or something like those. The designs don't have to be major, and they shouldn't make the armor at all unrecognizable. (I just want iron armor to have texture, really)

 

Thanks for reading!

  This could be very interesting mabey for some other designs you could have certain potions give the armor effects, you could have tons of designs like the banner designs and allow them to be combined just like banners

  Non so se sei aggiornato, ma negli snapshot della 1.16 la smitingh table funziona, ma solo negli ultimi

  I know that 1.16 gave it the ability to turn Diamond items to Netherite items, but I find that to be a pretty niche and late-game usage. This way can keep that ability, while giving the table additional uses.

  I have seen a feedback thread where somebody had a very thorough, but fantastic concept where you could customize armor with emeralds, gold, and etc. A game called "Cube World", had customization like this in their alpha. I'd link it here but can't find it in my activity. Y'all should be able to find it though with the search bar pretty easily though.

  That's a great idea but, there should be like 2 more designs or something. And it should also work with other stuff like weapons, tools, and elytra, ect.

  Here are some other designs I think would be cool.

  • +Leaves =  A Leaf Pattern
  • +Creeper Head = Creeper Face
  • +Skeleton or Wither Skull = Skull Pattern
  • +Soul Sand = A Souls Face
  • + Iron Or Gold ingot = Gold or Iron Shoulder Pads and Knee Pads.

  I want to just actually look like I am a knight or something rather then just a turtle. We all look like turtles!
