Cave and Cliffs update Ideas

I think that lead should be added to make lead boots but no armor set and what the boots do is they make you fall faster and I feel like this could help with underwater cave exploration and they give you no defense but they also reduce 10-30% percent fall damage depending on which number in between those is the most balanced. With the lead I think you should be able to make scuba gear for underwater cave exploration but not like scuba gear we have today I think it would be like scuba gear that we had back than when it was an actual suit with like a helmet and stuff like that. I think the helmet would give 1 defense and so would the rest but the suit gives 2 making a total of 5 defense. Then you would have to get a oxygen tank which you craft with 3 lead and 2 gold then you attach it to the scuba suit then fill it up with an oxygen tank filler or something like that. I think that when attached to the scuba suit there would be 2 durability bars. One for the tank which is blue and the default green one for the actual scuba suit. When the tank runs out of oxygen it does not break but the player can no longer breathe underwater. The craft recipes for this would be these which will look messy. L = lead ingot G = gold ingot g = glass pane

    But yeah the lead ore is a good idea including other ores *cough* MOJANG *cough*, possibly other crafting recipes and items?

    Now is the time for lots of ores, at least five (not including the amethyst or copper)

     JEOPHERNIX I just wanted to be specific cause if you look up scuba gear its like newer stuff where they have like flippers and a face mask and that's not what I had in mind.

    I wouldn't add lead, but I do think it would be cool to have boots that make you sink faster. They could simply be the boots for the scuba gear

    I wouldn't have a full suit of armor, I would just have the helmet. It should be crafted with copper and maybe glass panes. It may have an overlay of the old-fashioned diving suits. I also wouldn't have a tank, just make the helmet give you water breathing for a longer period than Turtle Shell helmets

    DeftFan27146994 Then turtles will be 100% useless, as its way easier to find copper than find turtles+wait for scutes

    I see that now. Perhaps Turtle Shell Helmets would be able to be upgraded with copper to become a diving helmet

    JEOPHERNIX No, adding "at least five new ores" without any explanation of what they might be or how useful they are is what will ruin the game. In my opinion copper isn't useful enough as is, and will need more uses in future updates for me to even consider adding another overworld ore. 

    As for the actual idea, I think the scuba gear has some merit, but the lead and oxygen tank should be taken away, the former not useful enough to add as a new ore and the latter being too modern. Instead of lead boots, Gold boots/armor should make you sink faster as it is very heavy. The lead in the crafting recipes should be replaced with iron or copper. With the oxygen gone, The scuba gear should double breathing time, increase swim speed, and increase vision underwater.

    Question: why do the lead boots which make you fall faster decrease fall damage? If anything it should increase it.
