In Java Edition, armorer villagers throw chainmail armor to players who have the Hero of the Village status effect. 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. This is the only other way to obtain chainmail armor besides finding it in buried treasure or trading with villagers. Rarely, a mob can drop a chainmail armor item. They may also be wearing enchanted armor that retains the enchantment when dropped. Upon death, zombies, zombie villagers, skeletons, zombified piglins, and wither skeletons always drop any armor that they picked up and equipped. When killed, the armor they drop can vary from 0 to full durability. Zombies, skeletons and their variants that spawn with armor have a small chance of dropping their armor when killed by the player. Netherite armor can be repaired in an anvil using netherite Ingots.

Chainmail armor can be repaired in an anvil using iron ingots. The durability of the two armor pieces is added together, plus an extra 5% durability.Ī piece of armor can be repaired in an anvil by adding units of the armor material's repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the armor item's maximum durability, rounded down. Repairing armor with an anvil preserves and combines the enchantments, with a rising experience cost for subsequent repairs on the same item. The resulting item has 5% more durability left than the original items combined, if the total durability of both of the armor pieces is more than the total durability that a piece of armor would have fresh from a crafting table, but any enchantments are lost. A full suit of Netherite armor needs 4 units of smithing templates and 4 units of Netherite ingots (16 netherite scraps and 16 gold ingots) obtaining netherite armor requires combining a diamond armor piece with a netherite ingot and smithing template using a smithing table.Īrmor can be repaired by placing two pieces of the same type (e.g., iron helmets) in a grindstone or in the crafting grid. Despite there being chain items, chainmail armor cannot be crafted. A turtle shell is a helmet with no corresponding armor pieces.

A full set of armor consists of 24 units of a given material.
