Emerald can be sometimes referred as "useless" becuase it is only used as a trading device for villagers. But what if we couldve use it in another way, emerald armour and tools. It would be slightly more powerful than diamond armor, and would cause much more damage than diamond swords. Also emerald pickaxes would mine stone much faster than any other pickaxe? What do you think, comment below!

Let me get this straight.

This will never get added.

Mojang has said that this will never get added.

Mojang has said that there will never be anything stronger then diamond.

This is vague, not enough detail, which is against the rules.

This is redundant, it has been suggested more times then is possible to count, that is also against the rules.

In general, in my opinion, this isn't an awesome idea, every time it was added.

No support. Please read the rules before posting again.

Even if emerald tools and armor were added, they aren't going to balance them around the rarity of the ore that was removed for a snapshot or two because people complained it was too rare, they're going to balance them around the fact that you can get tons of them from trading, which is literally why they were added in the first place.
