Edit: had multiple ideas in 1 thread / split.. Recipe's were unreadable Fixed..
Added more recipe's
Someone over at the Yogscast forums was asking about alt uses for feathers
So I thought I would come to the larger community and see if any modders like the ides's..
I tried using the forum search to see if some of these were already active projects but with one of my searches I got 73 threads that had nothing to do with my search request, so if there is anything posted that already exists I apologise in advance
Or more simply
This simple recipe could make a Valkyrie styled helm
this could be just for looks, add slightly more armour being that its a higher quality helm, not because the feather will resist anything lol..
Another possible use would be slow falling without having to carry a bird on your head..
I personally don't like the idea of flying (hang-gliding / wings) it makes it to easy to avoid all the dangers that make Minecraft what it is in survival.
The idea of helms can be expanded as well
example: replace the feathers with bones for a Horned Helm
again replace the bones with more iron for a Viking Helm
Horned Helm
= Bone
--------------------
Viking Helm
(you could replace the iron ingots with spikes, explained later in this post)
--------------------
Plumed Hat
--------------------
Cowboy Styled Hat
= Leather
--------------------
Spiked Helm
Create a spike using
(if you see my spiked armour thread I also suggested using different ore for diffrent effects, same could apply here if your into having more than just a cosmetic change)
Then add the spike to the helm simply with
= Iron spike or just spike with cosmetic only
--------------------
Crown
1) Different items: better range, melee, stronger, weaker, kills instantly, allows you to jump, weighs you down. It's just another item with a slightly different status from a slightly changed recipe, I don't want different helmets that you make thanks to adding a different item/changing the recipe slightly. It doesn't make a real difference.
TBH, I'm not really much for changing the way items work..
this idea started in my head as purely aesthetics.
we all have somewhat individual skins for multiplayer servers
but when we put on armour, that means very little.. all of a sudden we all look alike
forget the slow fall, or the cactus effect on my spiked armour idea then.. just go for the looks..
I don't want to look like that guy over there.. or the other one behind him or the 2 million other armour wearing Minecraftians we have..
So yeah I'm all for just changing looks, unfortunately others are going to want more and more from their Minecraft experience, and the mundane abilities of these items will get stale for them.. there is always the option not to craft them after-all..
as for the bed.. that was not meant to be in this post.. i read the guidelines and separated the idea into different threads,
But in reply, your right.. they are just for skipping the mobs / night, think of it as a more personalized difficulty options..
Example: do you want a little easier game? I love the mo creatures mod with all its greatness,
I really like the new hostile's as well.. I don't want to get rid of them.. but sometimes trying to keep up with the food to stay healed is just crazy..
I have Minecolony running as well and with 3 farmers in 2 colonies and I still go through crap loads of bread.. of course I'm using it to find me a Pegasus as well
The full face helm was one I'm still debating on the recipe for.
Right now only this really simple recipe is all I can think of but I would expect
It to provide a little more armour than normal so a recipe a little more elabrate would be nice
This is all I have atm

If they were too do more the bone helmet could be lootable in nether dungeon. Valk helmet for Aether.
