Chainmail leggings[a] are an uncommon variant of leggings that cannot be crafted, and are only obtainable through other means such as trading. They are the fourth-highest tier of leggings, having higher armor points and durability than golden and copper leggings.

Obtaining

Mob loot

Zombies, husks, zombie villagers‌[Java Edition only], skeletons, strays, bogged, and parched have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include chainmail leggings. There is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop the leggings they're wearing upon death unless they are spawned from an ominous trial spawner. The dropped leggings are usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

Villager gifts

In Java Edition armorer villagers may give players with the Hero of the Village effect chainmail leggings.

Usage

When worn, chainmail leggings provide 4 (🛡🛡) armor points.

Repairing

Two damaged pairs of chainmail leggings can be combined through crafting or using the grindstone. The durability of the used chainmail leggings are added together, plus an extra 5% durability. Both the crafting table and grindstone methods do not keep the enchantments of either leggings.

Chainmail leggings can also be repaired in an anvil by adding iron ingots, with each ingot restoring 25% the leggings' maximum durability, rounded down. Two pairs of leggings of the same tier can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods using the anvil preserve the leggings' enchantments.

Armor trimming

It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, a leggings, and an ingot or crystal (iron ingot, copper ingot, gold ingot, netherite ingot, emerald, redstone dust, lapis lazuli, amethyst shard, nether quartz, diamond, or resin brick).

These trims have no effect on the gameplay or strength of the armor.
