Maybe to make weapons and gear more specialized the game can use the new crafting benches to make modifications to gear which can make them have new passive effects and special attacks. This could make visual changes to the weapons and armor in the game to make them more personalized. Blaze rods could give longer/stronger fire attacks (only addable to swords with fire aspect), and give a nicer handguard to swords, wither bones could give wither damage and replace the hilt, etc. Just an idea
