Mobs never spawn with netherite armor

Pretty sure that's intended, if you want them to spawn with it you'll have to make a datapack

Or a forgetting.

I think it is best the way it is. Having netherite be extremely rare adds some interest and value to getting it. It would be kinda strange to me to be able to farm netherite armor from a spawner, even if it was extremely uncommon.

Thank you for your report!

@unknown, are you sure that this is a feature request? I just think that this is an oversight

Well... it would make it very weird for players to see a mob spawning with some netherite armor in the overworld, before going into the actual Nether. Netherite is suppose to be a rare material in the Nether which can only be found by finding ancient debris or bastion loot.

@unknown, the bastion loot has been tweaked. It won't contain netherite gear anymore.😛

Mobs can also rarely spawn with diamond armor, so I think they are also supposed to spawn with netherite armor, but of course it needs to be rarer than the chance to spawn with diamond armor.

Same "bug" was reported previously and closed as Invalid - feature request. This is motivated by that there isn't any way to obtain netherite armor other than combining in smithing table, so mobs don't have any logic way to obtain that by themselvs
