Leggings

Leggings are a type of armor that covers the lower body of the player. There are five types of leggings: leather pants, chain leggings, iron leggings, diamond leggings and gold leggings.

Mobs
If a zombie, zombie pigman or skeleton is wearing armor, there is an 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) that the mob will drop leggings upon death. It will usually be badly damaged and may be enchanted.

Trading
Leather pants can be bought from leatherworker villagers 2–4 emeralds a piece. Chainmail leggings can be bought from armorer villagers 9-11 emeralds a piece.

Usage
Leggings can be placed in the 3rd armor slot of a player's inventory for activation.

Defense points
Defense points are each signified by half of a shirt of mail in the armor bar above the health bar. Each defense point will reduce any damage dealt to the player which is absorbed by armor by 4%, increasing additively with the number of defense points. Different materials and combinations of armor provide different levels of defense.

The following table shows the number of defense points added by leggings.

Durability
The following table shows the amount of damage each piece of armor can absorb before being destroyed.

Any "hit" from a damage source that can be blocked by armor will remove one point of durability from each piece of armor worn. Damage taken by that armor doesn't protect (such as falling or drowning) will not damage the armor, even if it is enchanted to protect against that type of damage. The following chart displays how many hits leggings can endure.

Repair
Leggings may be repaired by using them along with some of their crafting material (leather, gold ingots, iron ingots or diamonds) in an anvil. Chainmail leggings may be repaired in this way with iron ingots. They may also be repaired by crafting them together with another pair of leggings of like material.
