So you know how Gold is the most easily enchantable material in Minecraft? So it could be considered as extra-magic. Well I thought to make Silver a sort of anti-magic material.
Silver gear cannot be enchanted. You might think "this seems pointless," but I'm not done. Silver gear also ignores other people's enchantments, cutting right through protection, or unbreaking. Their sharpness will not work on you. Any potion effects will have reduced duration (effect for instant potions). 1/6th for each piece of armour, that makes 1/3rd duration with all four armour pieces.
Silver gear is not quite as fast as Gold, but it is as fast as Diamond (this is to make up for the fact unenchantable tools don't really have a use). It has a durability about halfway between Iron and Diamond.
Silver has an interesting connection with the Moon. At night, under a full Moon, Silver gear will gently shimmer, slowly regenerate durability, and become as fast as Gold. This is the only magic by which Silver is affected. Why this is is not known (I know this doesn't really make sense, what with silver being anti-magic, but I wanted a way to repair it indefinitely (like mending) and this is the best I could think of. Theorists, go nuts). It must be in the Overworld, this will not work in the Nether or End.
I should also mention that Silver is to the End what Gold is to the Nether. It's quite common in the End.
I hope you like this, I certainly think it's an interesting concept.
Have a great day!
