padded chestplate

you should be able to craft padded iron, diamond or netherite chestplates. the way you do it is for iron and diamond, you craft a chestplate but the middle piece will not have iron/diamond, it will have a leather tunic and the top left and right will have copper ingots, it will look cool and upgrades the chestplate durability/protection. for netherite, you will have have to upgrade a leather tunic with a netherite chestplate with a smithing table then putting it in a crafting table with copper ingots on the top left and top right.
