I propose a new progression tier that bridges the gap between Iron/Diamond and Diamond/Netherite, giving Redstone a non-technical use.
1. Redstone Tier (Mid-game)
Crafting: Crafted with Redstone Dust.Stats: Balanced exactly between Iron and Diamond. No special effects (vanilla style).Tools: Redstone Pickaxe can mine Diamonds and the new Cinnabar Ore, but cannot mine Ancient Debris. [1]
2. Nether Mining (Y: 30-40)
Cinnabar Ore: Spawns deep under Nether lava lakes in veins of 1–5 blocks.Drop: 1x Cinnabarite Shard. Fortune enchantment has NO effect.Ingot: 4x Shards = 1x Resonance Ingot.
3. Resonant Tier (Late-game)
Upgrade Template: Found exclusively in Nether Fortress chests. Duplicated with 1x Template + 1x Granite + 7x Diamonds.Smithing Table: Combine Redstone Gear + Resonance Ingot + Template to get Resonant Gear.Stats: Balanced exactly between Diamond and Netherite. Resonant Pickaxe CAN mine Ancient Debris. [1]
4. Piston Armor Trim
Look: Mechanical piston patterns on armor.Location: Found in Jungle Temples (behind piston traps) and Mineshafts.Duplication: 1x Piston Trim + 1x Redstone Dust + 7x Diamonds.
This concept encourages exploration of forgotten structures and rewards high-risk mining under Nether lava oceans.
