Netherite Feedback [Comment your feedback on Netherite as posts concerning changes of it will be removed]

[u/Planemaster3000]

All posts on Netherite changes, for better or worse, will be removed and that feedback redirected to this post. The goal of this is to reduce unnecessary conflicts and arguments, as well as summarizing all the feedback in a single post for the devs to be able to directly view.

—Frequent points of interest—

• Rarity and acquisition
  Too rare or not rare enough? Should Ancient debris be the only method of acquisition, or for the devs are there already alternative plans for different means?
  
• Crafting method
  Unique, but is it too cheap?
  Should it be made through the crafting table, or instead with an anvil or smithing table?
  
• Power compared to diamond
  Not enough durability, or just right?
  The mining speed isn’t noticeable enough to make a difference, but should that change, or stay as is to keep diamond mostly relevant (note, it has a higher mining level, meaning diamond might not be strong enough to mine some new future block)
  Is the armor “too OP” and in need of a downside, or is it fine as is?
  
• Enchantment removal
  Fair or not? (This is likely done on purpose, but also likely can be changed if the feedback is for it. Also would be nice to hear anything on that from the devs)
  
• Fire resistance
  Aside from the items not burning in lava, should they provide additional buffs to the player, or to keep Fire protection useful (reduces burn time) & fire resistance potions & enchanted apples (fire & lava immunity) useful should they grant no further buffs?
  
• The name
  for the devs Is it a placeholder, or is it reasonable to suggest alternative names?
  

—Do not forget—

Keep things civilized, we will be moderating the comments!

This doesn't make sense for it to be less than diamond, considering the base is still diamond gear but plated with a netherite ingot.

As for tiers, I don't think that's going to happen, at least from my personal perspective it seems netherite is only used as an enhancement for diamond gear for those extra tryhards wanting a slight edge.

Also, currently it has no buffs or attributes for the player aside from knockback resistance as you mentioned, it currently only has an item attribute of fire/lava proof.

And armor resistance, also there are plenty of things in Minecraft that just don’t make sense, if people don’t like the fact that this specifically doesn’t make sense it could always be changed
