Note: I don't really have any experience with coding, especially with Minecraft, so I don't know if this would be feasible or practical, but here it is.

It would be really great I think if it were possible to make various orc armor sets (such as Angmar and Dol Guldur) come with different looks. So in other words, when you craft or find any piece of orc armor it would have, say for example, three possible different ways it could look. Each would have the exact same stats as any other armor of that faction, but would just look different, making things more visually interesting. In the films pretty much no two orcs have alike armor, and I know this is not possible within the mod, but it would be pretty nice to have at least a few more different looks for each armor set. That way not everyone would look the exact same. These would not have different crafting recipies, but what they look like would just be random.

Another idea would be to add orc chain-mail, as this is mentioned in the books. Perhaps the mail could be used to craft armor that looks different, or is more resistant to arrows or some sort of trade-off like that. If you were to use mail to craft armor that just looks different, but has the same stats, a good idea might be to make the crafting recipe for the 1 piece of mail as 1 piece of orc steel, so 1 to 1 conversion. This would allow for armors that look different, but have the same stats, and it would probably be easier to code. However, just from a reality perspecive I suppose it would make sense to have chain-mail be more resistant or more vulnerable to specific attacks. What do you guys think?
