A diamond chestplate is a variant of chestplate crafted from diamonds. It is the second-highest tier of chestplate, having higher armor points, armor toughness, durability, and enchantability than an iron chestplate. It can be upgraded into a netherite chestplate using a netherite ingot and netherite upgrade at a smithing table.

Mob loot
Zombies, husks, zombie villagers[Java Edition only], skeletons, strays, bogged, and parched have an extremely small chance to spawn wearing diamond armor, which may include a diamond chestplate. There is an 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 chestplate they're wearing upon death unless they are spawned from an ominous trial spawner in Java Edition. The dropped chestplate is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

Armor trimming
It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, a chestplate, 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.
| Ingredients | Smithing recipe |

| Any Armor Trim + Diamond Chestplate + Any Ingot/Crystal |
