Quartite Armor

This armor type would give players an intermadiate-level of protection in the nether, and could be crafted using quartite ingots, which are made from a mixture of gold and nether quartz. This armor would be more durable than iron armor and would provide a similar level of protection, perhaps lightly more. 

While netherite armor is crafted using netherite, the player also needs diamonds which are found in the overworld. Having an advanced armor type that does not require resources from the overworld could give the nether move of an independent crafting tree and make if feel like players can more sustainably live there. 

While gold armor can be sustainably sourced from the nether, gold armor is quite bad, and the durability is abysmal. Quartite armor provides a much needed, indigenous sourced step up from gold armor.

    I had an idea very similar to this one, though I couldn't come up with a good name for it.

    It's kinda strange how there's a jump of about 1,000 Durability going from Iron to Diamond tools (Armor is less drastic), and there isn't anything in between that.

    One thing I'd like to say though, by the time you go to the Nether, you probably already have Diamond gear, so for most players by the time you can get Quartite, it might not be very appealing. So maybe they could give it some kind of attribute, like Fire Resistance, or maybe it has some Gold highlights, and therefor functions as better Gold Armor in regards to Piglins.
