Armor

Armor is a category of items that provide players and mobs with some amount of protection from common types of damage. These items include helmets, chestplates, leggings, and boots, which can be placed in designated slots in a player's inventory.

Armor materials

There are eight different types of materials of armor, including turtle shells. The seven full sets are shown below in order from weakest to strongest.

Obtaining

Crafting

Name	Ingredients	Crafting recipe
Helmet	Leather or Copper Ingot or Gold Ingot or Iron Ingot or Diamond
Chestplate	Leather or Copper Ingot or Gold Ingot or Iron Ingot or Diamond
Leggings	Leather or Copper Ingot or Gold Ingot or Iron Ingot or Diamond
Boots	Leather or Copper Ingot or Gold Ingot or Iron Ingot or Diamond
Turtle Shell	Turtle Scute

A full set of leather, copper, iron, golden, or diamond armor requires 24 units of a given material to craft. Netherite armor cannot be crafted directly, and is obtained by upgrading diamond armor in a smithing table. A turtle shell is a type of helmet, but no other armor items can be crafted from turtle scutes. Chainmail armor is not possible to craft, and can be obtained only from mob drops, trading, and generated loot.

Upgrading

Netherite armor is obtained by upgrading diamond armor in a smithing table. Each piece of netherite armor requires a netherite ingot and a netherite upgrade smithing template. A full set of netherite armor requires 4 netherite ingots and 4 netherite upgrade smithing templates.

Netherite armor retains the enchantments, prior work penalty, and number of durability points lost (instead of the remaining durability) from the diamond armor.

Name	Ingredients	Smithing recipe
Netherite Helmet	Netherite Upgrade + Diamond Helmet + Netherite Ingot
Netherite Chestplate	Netherite Upgrade + Diamond Chestplate + Netherite Ingot
Netherite Leggings	Netherite Upgrade + Diamond Leggings + Netherite Ingot
Netherite Boots	Netherite Upgrade + Diamond Boots + Netherite Ingot

This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.

Mob loot

Zombies, husks, zombie villagers, skeletons, strays, bogged, and piglins that spawn with armor have an 8.5% chance of dropping their armor when killed by the player. The dropped armor has a random durability and retains any enchantments it has. All of the mentioned mobs except piglins can only spawn with armor in Normal and Hard difficulties. None of the mobs can naturally spawn with netherite armor.

In Bedrock Edition, pillagers and vindicators that spawn in raids have a small chance to drop an iron helmet, iron chestplate, iron leggings, or iron boots, in a badly damaged state, with a possibility of having a random enchantment.

In Java Edition, armorer villagers throw chainmail armor to players who have the Hero of the Village status effect.

Trading

Leather armor can be bought from leatherworker villagers. These armor pieces have randomly determined color.

Iron armor, chainmail armor and enchanted diamond armor can be bought from armorer villagers.

Bartering

Piglins may barter iron boots enchanted with a random level of Soul Speed when given a gold ingot.

Fishing

Leather boots, often badly damaged, can be obtained as a junk item from fishing.

June 20, 2008							Added studded, chain, and plate armor to Legend of the Chambered 2.

Java Edition Classic
June 14, 2009		Notch discussed how armor would work in Survival mode: Two types of swords, two types of armor, two types of helmets. The basic versions require iron. The advanced versions require steel, which you make by combining iron and coal. Carrying swords, armor or helmets take up inventory slots, but otherwise have no penalty and work pretty much as you expect (prevent some damage, or cause more damage)
August 13, 2009		Notch tested armor models on mob. Only chestplates and helmets were available. They were merely aesthetic at the time and had no effect on gameplay.
August 13, 2009		Notch tested armor models with boots.

Java Edition
1.0.0	Beta 1.9 Prerelease	The armor protection behavior has been changed. Previous to this update, the total armor protection is based in this equation: (total equipped armor damage reduction − 1) × ((total equipped armor max durability − total equipped armor damage) ÷ total equipped armor max durability) + 1, where “1” is the minimum amount of damage reduction before a piece of armor breaks. Armor no longer reduces certain damage types to be covered by enchantments. Basically, before this, taking damage would decrease the durability (depleting the armor bar), and the lower the durability, the lower the protection amount.
