Molder

There should be a block that you can design and layer armor with. For example, you can put plain netherite armor in the molder, then you can design it like a banner in a loom. Or if your looking to give it more defence or durability, you can put metal materials, or any armor type at all into the *layers slot*, and you will come up with strong netherite armor. Or you plan on more of a decorative set, you can put gem based items like diamonds or nether stars into the decor slot. I think making custume armor will both add to players creativity even more, and also benefit survival minecraft in a way that fits with the asthetic.
