Discover the various types of armor in Minecraft, from standard leather armor to special Netherite armor. Find the perfect protection for your adventures.

One of the most important aspects of survival in Minecraft is choosing the right armor. Not only does it protect you from attacks from hostile mobs, but it also allows you to explore the world with confidence, knowing that you are protected. In this article, we will talk in detail about all types of armor in Minecraft, their characteristics, and how to get them.

A little about armor

Armor is a set of items that provide players and some mobs with varying levels of protection against common types of damage. This set includes a helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots.Each of the listed items can be placed in special equipment windows in the player’s inventory. There is also a special armor indicator that allows the player to assess the level of his protection.

Armor helps reduce any damage the player takes, but its durability decreases with each hit. The level of protection can be further improved with various enchantments.

Types of Armor in Minecraft.

There are several types of armor, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The amount of materials needed for crafting is the same everywhere (24 pieces), except for chainmail and netherite armor.

Leather armor

The first level of armor that the player encounters in Survival Mode at the beginning of the game. It is easy to craft, but provides little protection and wears out quickly.

This armor is made from leather that can be obtained by killing animals. It also has a unique feature: each item can be dyed by adding dye.

Golden armor

This is a tier 2 armor that is crafted from gold bars by mining gold ore and then smelting it. It is slightly stronger than leather, but still quite fragile.A full set of gold armor absorbs 44% damage. Any piece of it can be smelted in a furnace to create one gold nugget.

Chainmail armor

This armor cannot be obtained by crafting. It can be found in dungeons, as a drop from mobs, or bought from residents.The protection of chainmail armor is the same as that of gold, and its durability is comparable to iron. If you get damaged armor, you can repair it in the anvil using iron ingots.

Iron armor

Iron armor is a more powerful type of protection, which is created from iron ingots. This type of armor is much stronger and more durable than leather armor. The disadvantages include the difficulty of mining ore and smelting, but if you are already an experienced miner, you can cope with this quite quickly and get your first good armor.

Diamond armor

Armor of the fifth level, and also one of the most popular in Minecraft. It is more than twice as strong as iron or chainmail armor. But to create it you will need diamonds, which are not so easy to get, and you will have to go deep into the mines. But such armor is durable and provides good protection.

Netherite Armor

Netherite armor is the sixth and strongest level of protection in Minecraft. This armor is comparable to diamond in terms of damage block, but gives the player more durability. And since the armor is made of netherite, it gives additional temporary resistance and protection from fire.

To craft netherite armor, first create a diamond set and obtain netherite ingots and a netherite upgrade template (found in Bastion Ruins). Once everything is ready, use the blacksmithing table to create the armor.
