Armor and tool gilding: A new use for gold and the Smithing Table!

Gilding could be done to any tool or armor piece, using the same process as Netherite. Doing this slightly increases the item's "enchantability" to a point between the item's base level and the level of a golden item. It also increases tool speed and reduces Piglin aggro range, with a full set of gilded armor reducing the range to 3 blocks, allowing for bartering if you are careful. However, gilding will also slightly decrease the item's durability. As a bonus, your item also gets some snazzy gold accents!
