this is purely cosmetic. it would give no advantage what so ever to either side as its just cosmetic, unless cosmetics = op. And armor could be made to look like anything in middle earth, not like tolkien needs to say that. What if sauron wanted a mithril set of armor that looked evil once he took over middlearth, if he did he definitely would have it done one way or another (maybe torturing dwarves to death unless they did what he wanted). I believe mavens has stated npc's will never have mithril tier gear (correct me if I am wrong). Minecraft is a sandbox game after all, and just because dwarves probably would not make mithril armor mordor themed does not mean they could not. Sandbox games are about the could and would this happen. not about what happened. If I wanted to play a game with a predefined story I would, but that is not what minecraft is for.
