#the trim concept is so cool but my god man 7 diamonds per tablet??? that is then destroyed!?

[tratserenoyreve]

thinking about the upcoming minecraft update that adds armor trims (among other things) and how i need to go into overdrive getting myself a complete netherite gear set asap before i am hit with needing over 100 diamonds to make One Set.

to start with, for a full set of diamond armor you need 24 diamonds (helmet is 5, chestplate is 8, pants are 7, boots are 4)

you'll need upgrade tablets to change diamond armor into netherite (plus the netherite ingot). every item piece needs a tablet as they're consumed on use. each tablet uses 7 diamonds to "copy" (craft a second of the same tablet). 28 diamonds for 4 tablets for just your armor, an additional 35 for your tools (pick, shovel, axe, sword, hoe, unless you're like me and have TWO picks then it'll be 42 diamonds).

and THEN to apply the new -trims- you'll need more tablets of the designs you want, which are also consumed on use and cost 7 diamonds per to craft, another 28 for 4 armor pieces.

that is a total of 115 diamonds to make one set of netherite armor and gear.

meanwhile on a fresh multiplayer server after hours spent spelunking i have found... One Diamond.

the diamond economy is going to be in shambles.
