Changing Strider Riding

Horses and Donkeys are interesting mobs. You have to choose to maximize inventory on long journeys, or speed and safety. What if the Strider had a trade-off like this?

The Strider would have four traits that could be controlled by what armor you give it. The traits are Speed, Defense, Storage, and Stamina. Speed is how fast it goes in blocks per second, Defense is how many armor points it has, Storage controls the Strider's inventory space, and Stamina is how far it can go before you need to use your warped fungus on a stick (in hundreds of blocks). The values themselves can be changed, the differences between them is what is important.

The Tiers 

• No Boots - Speed(5) Defense(0) Storage(0) Stamina(3)
• Chainmail Boots - Speed(4) Defense(3) Storage(0) Stamina(3)
• Gold Boots - Speed(3.5) Defense(2) Storage(0) Stamina(6)
• Iron Boots - Speed(3) Defense(4) Storage(0) Stamina(0.5)
• Diamond Boots - Speed(2) Defense(8) Storage(0) Stamina(1)
• Netherite Boots - Speed(2) Defense(10) Storage(0) Stamina(1)
• Chest - Speed(2.5) Defense(0) Storage(24) Stamina(2)
• Turtle Helmet - Speed(0.5) Defense(2). A strider with a turtle helmet wouldn't take damage from water or rain, but can't be equipped with a saddle.

Notes: I haven't found the striders exact speed so I will update when I do. armors would be visible on the striders skin You can't equip two tiers together.

 I think this feature would let players customize their journeys, and allow players to have a familiar but unique experience with their lava friends
