REDSTONE ARMOR- MINEDEAS



[How original... I've seen this thousands of places before.] Well... you haven't, because all of those other mods that add redstone armor is just armor. This would add more than just armor [well...], it adds programming!

My Minedea is to add Redstone Armor. It will have a different "enchantment system", but using programs by using something similar to enchantment tables and bookshelves. Why? Because I have chestfuls of redstone I don't use because I don't wire as much in Survival. Redstone is a very common resource and is not very helpful unless you plan to hide your diamonds or make fancy entrances. Redstone armor will have a much larger durability than diamond, but in turn will have to be charged.

Minedeas: Redstone ArmorJUST LOOK AT MY CHEST!

The armor will have 2 states: Charges and Uncharged, and will have two different textures so that players on SMP can tell whether or not his/her enemy is dangerous.

PROGRAMMING


The armor can be programmed [enchanted] using a "Program Table" or something like that and uses blocks like bookshelves that increases the power of that program. Also,in place of a duration bar, it will have a charge-bar, and can be charged again at a power bench, and will have to use redstone or some other resource.

CRAFTING


Armor should be crafted using redstone ingots, or something of the sort, by smelting normal redstone in a furnace, and setting the ingots in a crafting table like usual, but with a diamond in the middle for the chestplate and helmets. The armor and tools should be able to be repaired with redstone ingots/bars.

SHOULD HAVE BOTH THE CHARGE BAR AND A DURABILITY BAR!

[*][b][size=medium][color=rgb(0,0,153)]Shock[/color][/size][/b][b][size=medium]: [/size][/b][b][size=small]Will give an enemy "shock status" when they attack you or you attack them, and will create an aura of those like a charged creeper, and will actually [/size][/b][b][size=small][color=rgb(204,0,0)]create charged creepers[/color][/size][/b][b][size=small] if you hit them. The mobs should take damage slowly overtime, depending on the level of that program, the highest being slightly higher than fire damage.[/size][/b]
[*][b][size=medium][color=rgb(0,0,153)]Speed[/color][/size][/b][b][size=medium]: [/size][/b][b][size=small]A boot program that makes you go slightly faster, depending on the level. Higher levels will also increase your jump height, [/size][/b][b][size=small][color=rgb(204,0,0)]but should have to be charged more often[/color][/size][/b][b][size=small].[/size][/b]
[*][b][size=medium][color=rgb(0,0,153)]Pressure-Falling[/color][/size][/b][b][size=medium]:[/size][/b][b][size=small] This will increase how many blocks you can fall before you take fall damage, and/or makes you fall less slowly. This should behave similarly to Feather-Falling.[/size][/b]
[*][b][size=medium][color=rgb(0,51,0)]Power Mining[/color][/size][/b][b][size=medium]: [/size][/b][b][size=small]Will make you mine faster with a pick-axe, similar to the Haste power-up in the beacon block.[/size][/b]
[*][b][size=medium][color=rgb(0,0,153)]War Mongering[/color][/size][/b][b][size=medium][color=rgb(51,51,51)]: [/color][/size][/b][b][size=small]Reduced recoil when hit by mobs or players. [/size][/b][b][size=small][color=rgb(204,0,0)]Sprinting will cause the hunger-bar to decrease faster.[/color][/size][/b]
[*][b][size=medium][color=rgb(0,51,0)]Sniper: [/color][/size][/b][b][size=small]A bow program that will increase the accuracy of the bow. Higher levels will be much more accurate. [/size][/b][b][size=small][color=rgb(204,0,0)]Might take some adjusting if your used to shooting with a trajectory[/color][/size][/b][b][size=small].[/size][/b]
[*][b][size=medium][color=rgb(255,204,0)]Enchantments Included with Normal Armo[/color][/size][/b][b][size=medium][color=rgb(255,204,51)]r[/color][/size][/b]

[size=10pt]
[size=10pt][b][size=small]Swords and other tools can also be another add-on with this, and will have other programs. Tools will use iron as the hilt in place of sticks in order to balance out its effectiveness and the fact that it doesn't have durability bar, but a charge bar.[/size][/b][/size]

I think that the armor should become less efficient over time, similar to rechargable batteries rather then keeping durability. Then you could improve the efficiency by putting it in a crafting grid with some redstone. This falling efficiency would keep it from becoming to overpowered without the durability.

Read the post more carefully. I said that there would be a charge function, and that the redstone armor would have to be charged after awhile using a charge bench, with probably more redstone or glowstone, while also having a durability.

Read my comment more carefully. I said that the efficiency of the armor would go down rather than durability. This would mean that the armor would after many uses hold a charge for less time, or absorb less damage with each hit, rather than decreasing the durability like vanilla armors do. Your post mentions nothing of this sort. Because you don't care to take the time to read my comment full before accusing me not reading your post, I take back my diamond.

Well... I'm sorry.... I read the whole thing. Misinterpretation FTW! Maybe you could have explained it more the first time :P

Heh, sorry about that, it's hard for me to explain stuff like that in a way that other people can understand. :P Anyway, good luck with the competition.
