I did more research, tolkein, more likely than not did not intend for an argument to break out over textures in minecraft, I looked into descriptions of armor in both LOTR and real medival armor, he rarely says chain mail, only mail this could also refer to scale-mail or ring-mail, both of which have plates, just not in high amounts, I think the type of mail should be relevent to the faction, dwarves using scalemail, men using ringmail, and eleves and rangers wearing chainmail

(short description of each type of armor)

Scale = small metal 'scales' overlaping with chains or leather in joints

Ring = chain mail overlaping or being overlaped by leather or small metal plates

Chain = a series of interlocking metal rings being used as armor

Based on descriptions of the fighting style of various races I made my statemen about who has what, However, I do not beleive the complete removal of plate armor should happen, only some factions' elite troops should wear it, but this would requre many more troops to be implemented
