Weapons and Armor

Diamond Armor is uncraftable and removed from all chest loot tables. The Blast Furnace has been made unobtainable (uncraftable and all vilager structures which spawned it have had it replaced by a normal furnace) to prevent villager trading for diamond armor. The only way to theoretically obtain diamond armor is through random mob drops. Netherite armor has been made unsmithable. Netherite boots have been added to End City loot tables.

Ok, but why? Some of these seem like really random changes.

It's just how I want to play the game. I find diamond armor and above to be overpowered in terms of protection, and so I have made them impossible to get. I left Netherite Boots specifically as an endgame treat. If you don't like a portion of it, just go into the datapack and delete the relevant portion.
