What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:

VMR Server​

Short title for your suggestion:

Nautilus Armor Requirements Lowered​

What are you suggesting:

Lower the amount needed to prestige of the following nautilus armor items:

Netherite Nautilus Armor - 1
Diamond Nautilus Armor - 1
Gold Nautilus Armor - 3
Iron Nautilus Armor - 5

And keep Copper Nautilus Armor at 10

At the end of they day, they should be lowered, but for sake of a number (as these suggestions always need some sort of number), that's what I think they should be​

Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:

In looking at the chance of some of these nautilus armors, these armors are pretty much the rarest items in the game, especially since you cannot craft them. The Minecraft Wiki even states that "Diamond nautilus armor is the rarest chest loot in Minecraft."

For starters, let me state how one can obtain them (according to the Minecraft Wiki):

You can only find them in the following chests:
- Buried Treasure Chest
- Shipwreck Chest (any)
- Ocean Ruins Chest

And they have the following chance of being in said chest:
- Copper: 10.8%
- Iron: 5.4%
- Gold: 2.7%
- Diamond: 1.1%

I should first note that Treasure Chests are basically impossible to find due to Treasure Maps being disabled, so that only leaves two types of places to find these items.

Next, I want to talk about the probability. Basically, another way of putting it is for every 100 chests you loot, you will find whatever the percent number states as items found, so for every Diamond Nautilus Armor, you will find an average of 1.1 of them. And with probability, it's never perfect, so that means you can find more or less that amount depending on your luck.

Now in terms of the numbers, that is using practicality. In flying around a world for a few days (in anticipation for the server to be updated to this), I was able to get the following amounts of each Nautilus Armor:
- 27 Copper
- 14 Iron
- 6 Gold
- 2 Diamond

Now I will note three things: I was flying around in Creative Mode with a command that teleported me to a random, surface-level water block when executed, had night vision enabled, & checked/looted every Ocean Ruin or Shipwreck I saw. I probably looted around 300-400 of these chests at least if I had to guess [Note: did not try to find Treasure Chests b/c of the VMR restrictions, as mentioned earlier]

Now imagine trying to loot these chests while in survival, in a world that resets every week.

At the very least, this is why Nautilus Armor should be lowered (if it wasn't already). And I chose those numbers based on probability & practicaility.

As I like to say in every VMR adjustment suggestion: VMR Booklet Prestige is already one of the hardest ones to obtain, and will continue to get harder each update (and with Mojang making drops more frequently than updates, there will continue to be more and more items dropped constantly)​

One suggestion per form:

I Understand.​

 

I'm not against adding them to rare crate (especially if we make both diamond and netherite two different options within the crate), but prefer just lowering it dramatically.

Adding it to the crate can keep it at 3 for the requirement. However, if they are not added, then 3 is too many IMO for each (don't forget, with netherite, that essentially means that we need to collect double the amount of diamond nautilus armors)
