Every possible gear tier for future updates

I see a lot of people suggesting armor and tool sets but they always have problems or just don't think how they would work so I want to list every set that could work and how:

Bronze: The most probable one. A lot more durability than iron, a little more armor and mining speed, probably more enchantability, could have the same damage. This would make it be used like in real life; mostly for armor cuz of its better protection but not much for tools unless you want those extra bonuses

Rose gold: Should probably have a different name like "tumbaga" since "rose gold" wasn't invented and named until a lot later. This is really asked for as the set between iron and diamond. Should be better than iron in most aspects and be a middle point in enchantability and mining speed. To make it more special it could need a new upgrade template that's cheaper than the netherite one (probably dupped with copper or gold) so you can use the gold gear for its enchantability and then upgrade for the extra durability and armor at the cost of mining speed

Ruby: Probably a little more common but worse than diamond but with some extra benefit like less armor but more armor toughness or less durability and more enchantability so it's kinda a side tier of diamond. Would bring the red armor that everyone asks for and add a more strategic set that would make you alternate between this and diamond based on the opponent's damage

  Now some ideas that people suggest a lot but wouldn't work and why (and how some of them could have an use):

  Emerald: Too easy and cheap to get in early game to be better than iron, too expensive and unnecesary if it's worse than iron. There's no reason for it to be in the game UNLESS it has some special characteristic like how gold has the highest enchantability

  Quartz: Same than emerald but with less potential in special characteristics and too similar to iron

  Wood/Stone: The dumbest ideas; too cheap, unnecesary, don't make sense... These would either be terrible or break the game's progression

  Lapis: Unless it has something special with enchanting or xp (like not requiring xp to enchant or giving more xp when using the tools) it just doesn't serve any purpose and even then it seems unnecesary or even unbalanced for some enchantments. Again too easy to get in high quantities so it shouldn't be too good but then it seems better to just use iron or anything else

  Amethyst: Probably the dumbest idea but with some potential. If this is ever added it should probably have bad stats but with some unique and magical use like reducing potion time or enchantments effect. If not this just seems unnecesary and useless

  Titanium: Just doesn't make sense in the Minecraft age and doesn't serve much purpose (or at least there's better options that could do the same and more)

  Silver: It's stronger than gold but weaker than copper... Then what could it do? Since it's the most conductive metal it could maybe have some utility related to that or something magical, but then a tool and armor set isn't the best idea

  Tin: Same than silver. There's better uses for it
