Goal
Increase the diversity of tool usage and providing opportunities for players to have meaningful decisions when determining their load outs.
Reason
Currently, there is little reason to not use the netherite/diamond set when playing. Little to no trade offs exist as the highest tier is just objectively the best option while other types are either unused or only serve to get to the highest tier.
Changes
Rename the netherite set to be "Netherite Plated", otherwise the same.
Replace the gold set with the gold plated set maintaining the higher enchantability of the current gold set.
Add a new copper plated set with additional mining speed at the expense of enchantability.
Add a new redstone plated set with augmentation instead of enchanting. For example: the new telescope could be integrated into the helmet and have a keybind for its use or allow pistons to be added into boots for a small jump boost (or double jump). The augment would directly consume durability when used.
Add these as a plated layer with its own durability and enchantment layer. Thus, any enchantments or damage dealt while the plated layer remains intact is bound to that layer. If that layer breaks those enchantments are lost with it before reverting to diamond.
