People of M'craft lend me your ears! lolromanreference
My skin is a awsome looking skin and because it is clan based it is important to show my rank and Armour covers it up and the medics are hard to tell from troops with it covering their skins. So I was thinking about custom Armour much like custom skins with the ability to be transparent this would allow peoples skins to be displayed and make their Armour look far cooler!
Pros:
1.its more easy to see the skins
2.more customization
3.would allow 'clan Armour'
Cons:
1.Stealth would be affected because people will make it 100% transparent to show their grass camo or make it look like grass camo while still having all the benefits of a armored solider
2.possible to trick ambushers into thinking the ambushee has no armour on clickmyeggs!
I dont know what to think. give me your opinion

Maybe adding dyed cloth or leather for spaulers/tabards but completely custom armor seems like a bad idea. I don't really know why. Just seems like it wouldn't fit right.
Hmm. It could be really cool but the cons you listed are definitely some big cons haha. Maybe have some sort of "minimum" requirement for the looks, and be able to customize the other parts, or maybe just have a limit on the customization. I dunno.

Rule number 1 of Minecraft: Never mine the ground under your feet. Ever.
@lordofq: But we have custom skins so why not custom armour? it would be just like skins but you have to work for it
@crixnmix what would be the minimum requirement? perhaps at least 20 non transparent pixels? that would remove the cons. and what would be he limit on customizations? Omicron is the 15 letter in the greek alphabet so chances are thats someone else (because I hate MMOs more of a FPSer)

it will be a PvP server, but I agree: custom colours won't be needed
MAYBE the ability to dye cloth would be nice, so buddies could all wear the same colour leather cap, but custom textures on armour is a very bad idea.
Feather Plumes on helmets maybe?

Look away, now look back. THE GHAST IS NOW DIAMONDS.
Anything is possible when you smell like a man and your game is minecraft.
My idea: On the skin, add a 1 px area. Color it anything. With dye, you will be able to paint some areas of your armor that color. Not too much, just some trim on the edges.

Minecraft isn't about what you build, it's about building it.
what about in "team" mode, there are two armor colors, Red and Blue, each requires blue/red cloth and it allows PvP. if you dont have color armor on, you cant hurt or "bump" anyone, and people cant hurt you. it would allow people to choose if they want to PvP or PvE

I can see fake diamond armor/etc being a problem ("Run away, he has diamond armor!"), and being able to turn armor off brings up the opposite problem ("Why isn't this guy dying? He has no armor!"). It is a conundrum.

like, a red or blue trim to armor. nothing extreme.

Well, we HAVE the choice to get finite or not water servers, so I am SURE you can choose to run your server PvP or not.
I am sorry but on all online game you have mostly this choice. I have been playing for years on Everquest 1 and 2 in a RP server, and not a PvP.
what about a another .png to go with skins perhaps a separate one for armor or perhaps a symbol or something that can be put on both sides of armor. similar to a tabard (witch was mention earlier) im also for capes, that's kinda cool
Why don't put a colored crystal over your head like the sims 2 and recolor the world pink like hello kitty and add golds to trade with NPC merchants liek wow and ruin the concept of minecraft ?

Custom capes and tabards anyone? custom hood? would make a nice assasains creed outfit!

Perhaps just have a small area in the skin texture for you to put your crest, and that image would appear on your armor and capes and all that.
