More uses for Lapis Lazuli Poor lapis lazuli is worthless once you get 8 (unless you dye the wool itself, which is silly and unproductive). That means you only need to mine an average of 2 lapis lazuli ore blocks and you are set for life. My ideas I have 5 ideas for more uses, tell me which ones you like. Idea 1 Idea 1 is making lapis lazuli armor. It is less protective than gold (a full suit gives only 2 bars, the same as a leather helmet and chestplate), but a full suit will keep you from taking fire or lava damage. If you don't have a full suit, 25% of the fire and lava damage gets absorbed (and the lapis lazuli armor takes no damage protecting from fire or lava) per part, and it will take 25% longer to light on fire per piece (but you won't if you have a full suit). Lapis lazuli armor pieces would have 225% more durability than the respective leather part. That would put its durability in between gold and iron armor). Idea 2 Lapis lazuli blocks should keep monsters away. Passive spiders should ignore it, and so would silverfish. Creepers would just stay off the block, and endermen can't teleport through an area 2 meters around the lapis lazuli block. The range is 4 meters if the enderman ends up in that area. All other ways, monsters would stay 3 meters away and not spawn within 2 blocks. Idea 3 Lapis lazuli blocks should be the portal to the water dimension. It would be a full nether portal, but corners must be lapis lazuli and so must the main frame. Activate it by putting flowing water in there. Flowing water will not break the portal. The water dimension would be the oposite of the Nether. Idea 4 Lapis lazuli blocks in loaded chunks should load the chunks around them as if there was a player there.
Tell me which idea you prefer, and suggest new ideas if you have any.
Why does your poll say that there are 5 ideas, but your post only lists 4 ideas?

i'm not a big fan of any of the ideas, and please add a I don't like any of these suggestions option, rather than making me call myself a fool and lying. I mean I agree that lapis needs something new but your ideas seem half thought out, and overly suggested already.
I think suggestion 3 has potential but it needs more thought and organization into it, because most people don't want another "sky dimension"(couldn't think of any content so mojang just threw out the end)
The wiki says that gold armor is less effective than iron armor...

Why does everyone think I don't have an avatar? Is there anyone who can see the one black pixel.

Sorry, I originally had 5 ideas, but the 5th idea was horrible so I dropped it and forgot to remove it from the poll.
It could, but it needs to be in a loaded chunk from other lapis lazuli or a player.
