i was thinking about what kind of armors there should be. maybe some crystal armor? or maybe, just maybe, lava encased in super cold ice thats just cold enough to keep the lava from burning your flesh off your bones. maybe there could be certain armor types that work better with different races.
Yes I dont like just having metal armour from ores I want diffrent armours like lava and cloud. Each of these could give certain bonuses like lava immunity or reduced fall damaged / speed.
how aabout... LIVING ARMOR! this is armor that actually attacks with you. or maybe some kind of.... you deicide what's next!
Wait a second. Tiy did say there would be a creeper cameo. Maybe... I would like to suggest luminescent armor. It would be more like a feature of other armors i guess. But with this you wouldn't need to carry a flashlight and direct it.
I can see armor that prevents water from slowing you down or limiting mobility, armor that prevents things like virorbs from sticking to you, luminous armor like what That Guy suggested, darkbound armor that makes the area around you darker by absorbing light, armor that exudes some sort of aura that deals damage or heals allies, and probably many, many more. These also shouldn't be unique armor. They should be procedural generated, if that is possible. Then the variety in armor would be incredible!
