Suggestion for Combat Balance/Creative Mechanics for Copper Armor

Hello, I wanted to share this idea with you guys! I believe this idea could completely rebalance combat AGAIN and make COPPER ARMOR sought out for.

Please allow copper armor to have the ability to supercharge in a thunderstorm if lightning strikes them. This lightning strike does no damage to the player(not even the fire) and instead makes the player supercharge like a lightning creeper. If the player is either hit or is hit by another player, this releases an explosion the size and destruction of a lightning creeper. Expect for the supercharged player, all other players in the range would take damage like it was a lightning creeper.

I would say give this a new item to create, in order to make an useless item more useful. Like a "Copper Conduit", where you wrap copper around a conduit in a crafting table and it would allow you to attach the created item to a copper chest plate, creating the 'Conduit Chestplate' or 'Stormplate' something cool.

The effects only happen when you have a full set of copper armor. Another restriction, in order for players to not weaponize it to oblivion, is to have that supercharge explosion from the Stormplate is that it eats up a TON of durability, to the point that it only allows a few uses before the armor breaks. Last restriction would be to build in the 'aging' mechanic of copper blocks, into copper armor. If copper gets to a certain amount of aging, then the armor is no longer conductive for Copper Conduits/Storm Core to work. CONT'D PT2->

    Players can use Honeycomb to wax their armor like copper blocks, however, every time the player is struck by lightning, the wax layering comes off and the player has to put another coating to prevent aging. Durability is not affected by the above btw.

    Lastly, I wanted to attach the ideas to make new enchantment for each armors! And I want to start it with copper armor, where enchantments could be made to have the armor to have Superconductivity[I-III] to increase the explosion radius of the Supercharge. You could make Divining Rod [I-III] to increase the chance of lightning to strike the player.

    Unfortunately I haven't thought past this part.
    I hope the balancing and the making of Conduits more useful again to make cool stuff is good with you guys. Keep up the great work!
