Great ideas, but there is a way to make a more costly recepie. I have said this before, but a good way to do it would be to make "metal shards", which would be exactly the same as nuggets but for other metals. Once made, these shards could be crafted into rings of their material ex. 8 dwarven steel shares could be crafted into a dwarven steel ring on a normal crafting table. After this, you would need to smelt the rings in a forge or furnace, producing molten rings. However, these would turn back into normal rings if not used in 5 minutes or so. After becoming molten, these could be crafted into the chain armour of that faction on that faction's table ex. eight molten iron rings on a Gondorian crafting table in a chest plate recepie to make Gondorian Chainmail. As for bonuses, chain and plate armours would have the same base protection points. However, plate armour would give slowness I when worn while chain would not. Additionally, all "light" armours should have speed II. The facors that would make it worth it to wear plates would be plate armour having a lot more durability than mail and mail would lose more durability from arrows, swords, piles, spears, and daggers. At the same time, plate would lose more durability when hit with an axe or sword. This should provide significant difference between plate and mail.
