Mob loot

Zombies, husks, zombie villagers‌^{[Java Edition only]}, skeletons, strays, bogged, parched, and piglins have a chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include golden 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.

Usage

When worn, golden leggings provide 3 () armor points.

Piglins

As with other pieces of gold armor, piglins do not attack players wearing golden leggings unless provoked or attacked.

Piglins are also attracted towards golden leggings on the ground and equip them after inspecting them.

Repairing

Combining

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

Ingredients	Crafting recipe	Notes
Damaged Golden Leggings		The durability of the two leggings is added together, plus an extra 5% durability.

Ingredients	Grinding recipe	Notes
2x Damaged Golden Leggings		The durability of the two leggings is added together, plus an extra 5% durability.

Two pair of golden leggings can also be combined in an anvil. Unlike using a grindstone or crafting, using an anvil preserves the enchantments on the leggings, but costs experience.

Unit repair

Golden leggings can also be repaired in an anvil by adding gold ingots, with each ingot restoring 25% the leggings maximum durability, rounded down. This preserves the leggings enchantments, but costs experience.

Armor trimming

It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, 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.

Any Armor Trim + Golden Leggings + Any Ingot/Crystal
