Rose Gold Tool Tier

This has been discussed to the end. But I want to expand on this.

Similar to real life, it would be crafted with 3 gold ingots and 1 copper ingot. This would give you 1 rose gold ingot.

Before people say "Minecraft doesn't need this", Minecraft didn't need copper tools and they were added to cater to a small portion of the survival community and as fan service. This tier of tools, being between iron and diamond, just makes sense. The jump between iron and diamond is abysmal, when the one between stone and iron was anecdotical. This tools cater to a similar audience, people who do not focus on progression and have a hard time getting diamonds.

These tools just make sense. Gold is fast but fragile, so plating it with copper gives it more resistance and damage to weapons albeit at the cost of mining speed. The durability would be of around 500-750. The damage of the weapons would ressemble iron, diamonds should preserve their unique damage profile. Their enchantability would be the second best, better than netherite but worse than gold.

Only master weapon/armor/tool smiths would trade diamond gear (requiring also some diamonds to trade). Expert level trades would be rose gold tier. 

The protection of the armor would be superior to iron, but worse than diamond. It would provide some armour thoughness, 4 points in total, 1 per piece.

Iron tools from end cities would be replaced by rose gold ones. 

This set just makes sense. Copper made it. This one should too.

    I think that it would be better to have bronze than this, but I like the idea of this set. I just feel like it would make golden tools and armor completely useless since you would preffer to use your gold to make rose gold at the cost of losing a little bit of enchantability. Also the fact that rose god didn't exist in ancient times and that it would be even heavier than gold so it wouldn't make much sense but eh, gold and diamond already don't make sense so whatever, Minecraft logic.

    Maybe rose gold could kinda be a side-tier of iron like gold kinda is a side-tier of wood and copper a side-tier of stone.
