There's a mod about this but let's be honest, emeralds NEED another use besides trading them with villagers

I think they should give copper a non-cosmetic use first

Trial chamber

What can you use copper for in the trial chambers?

Redstone armor: activates redstone and 2x speed in the rain

Emerald armor: makes trades better and Iron Golems don't attack you at all

Amethyst armor: makes overworld mobs not attack you at all, especially helpful agents the warden

Copper armor: can summon lightning and quadruples ores when mined with lightning

Coal armor: smelts them 2 times faster than a blast furnace, and no fuel is required

Lapis armor: gives better enchantments and makes it so you don't need lapis in the enchanting tale

Nether quartz armor: gives double XP when blocks are mined and nether mobs won't attack

Ender armor ((made up ore for the end)) make you teleport and end mobs don't attack you

Second idea: new armor piece called gloves.

good idea but um... they don't have fingers so... ya know what? let's just go with it

i like it, and another alternitive for copper would be between iron and chain mail, loses durability in the rain, and has fast attack speed

defiantly has potential. but needs some work.

idk, just spitting ideas

why thank you

Economy.

real

I think there is a mod for this

I want that too bro

but everyone forgets the poor rubie

I didn't
(My name is Ruby)

Thanks I wish it was still rubies instead of emeralds

I agree, they-
OH MY GAWD I GIT AN IDE

You could add them to the armor or a weapon

Oh so armor trims but rubies still exist

I created an use for rubies if they would be added back

Sword: in the middle of the horizontal thing below the blade
Pickaxe: and the end of the handle (above the part for mining)
Axe: in the middle of the blade
Shovel: also.
Hoe: at the beggining of the blade

And armor:
Helmet: in the middle of the forehead
Chestplate: in the middle of the chest
Pants: uhh... On the knees? (It will somehow double)
Boots: in the middle of the shoe

They will have some special abilities, lime you could enchant them to like... Strength boost, speed boost, protection boost, range boost, and more, these enchants could be only for rubies, and probably 5 enchant levels on every.

Great idea?

And maybe for the shield also.

dude, the color of the weapons and the armor look SO cool! (I love green, fyi)

Villagers be drooling for the drip

What about stone Armor

it mines a 3 x 3 area

Emeralds are useless besides trading.

Right. They should add a new use for them, but really... Do you imagine and EMERALD armor irl? Nonsense. Yeah I also wanted that. But Netherite things are way better.

True, Mojang just needs to be more creative. ITS A FANTASY GAME- LIKE-

Look at my idea of adding back rubies a bit above ur comment

Yeah rubies would be awesome to bring back. We need more ores tbh

My name is Ruby, and rubies being the only one to be removed makes me kinda sad, like they couldn't remove ANYTHING else?

Mojang has personal issues with you dude. That's rough.

I like the idea that I specifically am being heckled by Mojang, but Im not the first/only person I've ever met named Ruby

NO F**K EMERALD ARMOR VILLAGERS TRADING IS OP AF

It depends whether the trades are good. If for example it's something useless like 3 emeralds for a poisonous potato then it's not worth it.

Bro missed the April fools update

1 emeald for mending book
1 emeald for a prot 4 book etc etc

Copper tools/armor

Copper

That's already in game

Tools and armor and stuff

Also the warden should have an earache animation if it hears a non-entity sound
