  1. I personally think they should bring back Chain armor, using Iron Nuggets as the material. Considering it's weaker than iron, basically make it a poor-man's Iron Armor, something to make if you're low on resources to tide you over.

  2. Maybe chain mail could cancel out sweeping edge damage and reduce arrow and projectile damage. My reasoning behind this is that chain mail armour was designed to avoid swiping sword attacks.

  3. They should change the recipe for chains to just 3 iron nuggets, instead of using 2 nuggets and an ingot. Then use chains as the material needed for chainmail. It would perfectly fit in between leather and iron armour.

  4. Chain Mail armors Where originally used by others in Medieval Warriors as a Clothing under armor, adds more protection even if the armor breaks, since ChainMail is so easy to move with and also thin, You can wear them along with the armor making chain Mail Effective on combat as well

    Minecraft should allow this making you even more beefier on combat and even if the armor breaks you still have some in you, also makes the Chain Mail armor even more worth it.

    And about the leather armor it should be the same for it Wearing leather beneath you’re armor arrow makes you resistant to knockback a bit/or makes arrows Deal lesser damage or some weapons that has piercing abilities literally making you a Meat Shield for Arrow/projectiles. Since leather isnt worth going for and much harder as well, Iron is always going to be the first priority by players since its way to easy to be accessed by everyone, and they can skip leather that easily.
