I don't really know if its gonna happen, but I'll wait.

quick answer: n-0

THAT'S WHAT I SAID NETHERITE AND ENCHANTED HORSE ARMOUR

I mean, we have stone tools, so why not stone armor?

AND WHY CAN'T WE MAKE CHAINMAIL ARMOR?

ikr

For many years when I was younger I keep experimenting with stone and how to make chainmail...

do you have any idea how heavy and useless stone armor would be it would be so heavy that when you got hit you would just fall over and be stuck

Minecraft doesn't really have weight, so that wouldn't happen

The reason I want it is because iron armor is hard to get, so if there was stone and wood armor, you could get armor a lot easier.

Hey, this is Minecraft were talking about. The place where trees don't fall over, I think we can ler it slide.

Chain horse armour

Also, when is emerald and stone armor gonna exist?

never actually but they have a reason
stone is weak and everyone would skip it
emeralds are too shiny and already have an important purpose
