Two posts back I asked you what you think about the player needing a certain level to use advanced tools / wear advanced clothing and your response was rather negative, so I decided to get rid of the idea.
But I still think, maybe in a reduced form, we could leave it in? How about I leave the level requirement only for diamond tools / diamond armor? They will require level 2 to use / wear. This means that if you die a few times you will lose capability to use them for a couple of game days (this is how long it usually takes to progress from level 1 to level 2).
The whole idea of diamond tools / armor is a bit fantasy and maybe it adds a bit of realism for the player to have some skill to be able to use them properly. Plus it adds more weight to the level system, which I think is quite important.
Please let me know what you think in comments.
[EDIT] If I do it, I will probably make it that worlds started before 2.1 work the old way (i.e. allow all tools and armor)
