Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

New Armors: Gem and Studded

I think we should have 2 new armors with specific mechanics (linked to combat update)

First, the gem armor:

Using different gems for each parts, and a "new" gem, the ruby:

Boots: 2 emeralds and 2 rubies

Legs: 2 emeralds, 2 rubies, 1 lapis, 1 quartz and 1 diamond

Chest: 3 emeralds, 3 rubies, 1 lapis and 1 quartz

Helmet: 2 emeralds, 2 rubies and 1 diamond.

I don't have a specific idea of the final colour of the armor. Maybe a purple ? However, the main goal is that this armor have a better protection against negative potions or effects, it's a little bit "magical". Every negative effect is reduced (his duration or intensity). Agains other weapons, the armor should be around the diamond armor resistance, maybe a slightly less. To be fair, the ruby must be as hard as the emelard to be mine but can't be trade with the villagers. Basically, it would be an end-game armor, the player may have to choose between gem armor or netherite dependig of the mission.

 

Second, the studded armor

It was one of the first armor of minecraft, but useless

We need it back with more uses. 

First the recipe: For every piece: The Chainmail Armor + The Leather Armor

The resistance of the armor must be at least the same as the iron armor.

But, this armor gives the player a way better protection against arrows. They are a huge threat with  the recently added pillagers, alongside the stray and skeletons. Even in pvp, with bows and crossbow. Because it's hard to make and quite powerful, it's a mid-game armor, after iron.

    The gem armor is a bit weird, and right no one will use it, because of the Protection enchantment. The same applies for the second one you suggested: we have Projectile Protection, which is really good, since Projectile Protection 4 gives 32% of damage reduction against projectiles, per PIECE, so a full armor with projectile protection gives more than 80%, which is the max cap for protection

    Well, i don't agree, because apprently you seem to forget that protection does not apply to poison or status effects https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-40651

    For the studded armor, it's a middle game armor, you will have it way sooner than a Projectile Protection IV. And you can have a studded armor with another Protection enchant, making it very useful if you want to keep it.
