The Combat Update is coming out soon, and even though it's far too late, I decided to make a suggestion. Maybe next year this will be realized.
Hoods would be an item similar to leather caps, except they don't give you any armor points. You are probably saying "Then what are they for?!" We'll get to that eventually.
Hoods would be made of wool and would be crafted like this:
There would be multiple colors of hoods, such as there are multiple colors of wool.
Now, let's get into the beefy part of the hood. The technical part.
Hoods would be very useful on factions servers if you aren't that great at PVP. It gives you a way to hide.
Once you put on a hood, as long as you don't have any armor in your armor slot and inventory, the hood will completely hide your nameplate, as long as you aren't sprinting.
Now, there's obvious technical reasons why the armor thing would be nerfed, but there's actually a logical reason. Armor is loud and clangs a lot when you carry it in real life, so you can't take it with you or wear it without being noticed. And when sprinting in real life, the footsteps are pretty loud.
Here's a fancy photo of what it could look like on the player:
I like it! Sneaking kinda hides the nameplate, but only if the player is behind a block. So this would be pretty useful.
Support.
Yes. My plan for this is to add some strategy into Minecraft, so that it's possible to escape if you're getting murdered by diamond armor juggernauts. Also, it's good for doing a sneak-attack assassination.
I am so happy this is balanced. Full Support. And out of curiosity, could they be worn by Skeletons or Zombies upon spawning? That'd just be a cool, thing IMO.
Pretty balanced and would work well if you sprint away from your enemy, turn a corner and put the hood on and remove the armor, good quick getaway type thing.
This idea is well thought out, well presented and balanced. Though the biggest downside I see is that this is a multiplayer-only type thing, and not only that, it's only useful in specific gametypes in multiplayer.

Yeah, that guy in the avatar is me. I'm *that* strange. It happens. Sometimes people act like that. Just go with it. I can offer help with suggestions even before you post them - NOT make your suggestions - but help you with them.
This suggestion is well balanced and interesting, it provides a good use while giving a good downside to it. But can there also be a specific use for it in Single Player as well?
The hoods remind me of Minecraft Animations...why? Herobrine always wear those kind of hoods in the animations. (Take CaptainSparklez and TryHardNinja's Take Back the Night, for example) (Why he wore them, I dunno)
They are just something that are completely useless: They only make you invisible only to look cool, if you have particles on, you can see the player's particles that are coming off of the player, if you are holding a item, or wearing armor, other players can still see you. AND last of all...it doesn't hide the nameplate automatically. Yet ANOTHER pointless item. This idea could easily replace it. (Well, maybe not, if you like to mess around with commands)

So...it's like a ninja-add on? Not bad. What would be cool is if it had different colors according to the wool.

It does. I wrote: "There would be multiple colors of hoods, such as there are multiple colors of wool." That sentence is below the crafting image.

Then what are invisible potions for?

this would be really cool sneaking kinda sucks and i agree mobs should wear them too full support.
This suggestion is well balanced and interesting, it provides a good use while giving a good downside to it. But can there also be a specific use for it in Single Player as well?
Support.
Full support,
and I have an idea for singleplayer.
The hoods could hide you from all monsters except for spider and bosses. and monsters in combat.
I think it wont unbalance the game becuase of the armor nerf.
In case its too op, it can be nerfed to only hide from mobs that dont have vision on you.
Let me know what you think and overhaul a great idea.

Not bad. I think it does a good job of doing what it's supposed to. It's pretty well balanced too.
Support; balanced and functional.

A few of my suggestions and a personal favorite suggestions. More neat-o suggestions in my bio.
+1, but you should be able to wear leather armor with it.
Come and join, we need players
I like this idea!
Full support.
Support, but maybe it can be used in singleplayer to decrease mob following range too?
