Protection Enchantments and Durability
Does a Protection enchantment just make the armor absorb more damage, thereby reducing its durability?

I have done some tests with various armor pieces and it doesn't seem like it. Examples: Protection also doesn't take damage from sources armor normally doesn't take damage, like said on the page. It just gives you extra protection against hits. I really hope someone looks at the code or something so this argument could end. 212.226.58.56 18:57, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Leather chestplate with and without protection IV: Both took 81 zombie hits to break.
 * Gold chestplate with and without protection IV and proj. prot. IV: All took 113 zombie hits and 113 skeleton arrows to break.
 * Iron pants with and without protection IV: Both took 226 zombie hits to break.

Armoured Zombies in Day?

Ability to Repair Armor
It would be really great if armor could be repaired on the workbench using less raw material than it took to create it.

Not sure if it's been discussed in the "Tools" area. But it would be a great feature for tools as well.

As of Minecraft 1.00, Armor and tools are both repairable with other used armor and tools of the same kind, though enchanted materials will lose their ability and glow. --Dessalet 16:02, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

TNT
Does gold armor resist TNT?--Ash0011 16:58, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

It does like all armors. A leather/iron/diamond armor also protects you, but gold armor will not protect you 100% from the TNT/Creepers. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 17:15, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Pre-release 2
in the 1.9 2nd prerelase, the armor points are different.

leather gets 3.5 points gold gets 5.5 iron gets 7.5 And I assume diamond gets all 10

do we want to add this to the wiki, or wait until 1.9 comes out?

Diamond does get to all 10, and I have also noticed that wearing any armor piece(s) will give you the same amount of armor points no matter how used up they are, despite durability still being used up and protection still being given based on durability. I also noticed that as of 1.8, drowning damage is no longer protected by armor. leather cap: 0.5; leather tunic: 1.5; leather pants: 1.0; leather boots: 0.5; iron helmet: 1.0; iron chestplate: 3.0; iron leggings: 2.5; iron boots: 1.0 I haven't done gold or diamond armor, though. 84.156.19.57 11:50, 21 October 2011 (UTC) gold helmet: 1.0; gold chestplate: untested, would take 2.5 to reach 5.5 for the full set; gold leggings: 1.5; gold boots: 0.5; diamond helmet: 1.5; diamond chestplate and leggings: untested; diamond boots: 1.5. 71.228.89.191 07:33, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Lava Prevention
Does diamond armour prevent lava damage? I was running around on my SSP server testing some of the new damage point things that I read here, when I decided to go and test mon 'do it yourself' mob grinder. When I jumped in I was on fire, even though I was in water and the lava that I was also touching did not harm me or my diamond armour. I did this on Peaceful and Easy. After taking off my armour I did take damage.

Before anyone asks, I was using the TooManyItems mod and also coincidentally was recording it (for other purposes). Therefore, I could post a low quality video on Youtube, although I expect this to be resolved without need.--BTH 05:27, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

ID Numbers for armor?
Does anyone have a list of id numbers for the different armor types? I don't and came here looking for it. This is one of the few articles on this wiki that doesn't have the id numbers. --RtHiaHB 07:38, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * All ID numbers can be found in this image: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/3/33/ItemslistV110.png . That's how I had to look it up. I'm going to try to edit it into the page now. Lunakki 16:15, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

1.0 Update
I've marked this for reorganization because much of the info was still outdated. While I've done my best to fix the majorly misleading material, it could still use some major technical expansion. Offhand, types of damage reduce by armor, the actual damage reduction procedure, and the mechanics of armor enchantement effects could conceivably fit here. — minrice2099 talk 10:40, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I tweaked the descriptions/page last night to include new armor values, but I would also like to see some better organization of the data in tables. Experimented with the table layout so that the armor icons were aligned, but undid it since it couldn't account for different font sizes. Would require a bit of an overhaul of the template.  Would also like to see durability listed next to each armor item, but I wasn't sure if the old data was still accurate.  Glad someone moved the old data to History from Trivia, I was too tired last night to fix that. Sorry if my first edit was bungled at all, I just couldn't stand having the old data glaring at me. -Wyrenth 72.72.242.30 16:12, 22 November 2011 (UTC)


 * BTW types of damage is accurate for 1.0, as of my edit last month. Last username 07:15, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

The armour protection percentages on the main page don't line up with the current game mechanics in 1.0.0. I've done some testing and here is what I've confirmed. The amount of protection varies from one hit to the next. It does not vary randomly, the incoming damage follows a repeating sequence (which suggests to me the fractions are being accumulated somewhere and applied when they add up to enough).

It's possible using a plugin to estimate the armour protection percent. I've done this based on 10 points (5 hearts) of incoming damage. It would be possible to refine the percentages and make them more accurate by repeating the experiments with more incoming base damage (say 19). When the base incoming damage is low (say 3) the percentages break down and the damage applied to the player doesn't work very well (I consider this a minecraft bug). e.g For 3 damage (1.5 hearts) armour totals of 15, 19 and 20 are totally immune to damage but the other totals aren't.

The armour protection percentage appears to be based only on the armour total points (i.e the material the armour is made of doesn't make an additional impact on the protection over and above the fact that the better materials offer higher protection totals). Prior to version 1.0 we used to get 8% protection per point up to a maximum but this isn't the case anymore. The armour protection you get for a given armour total is not linear, as far as I can see having graphed the data, a second order polynomial appears to fit the curve quite well.

Looking for Armor, Weapons and Item textures.
I made a really nice Character file and I didn't really want to spend to much more time editing atm. I was wondering if anyone knew of any texture packs that had nice looking armor, weapons and items in it. RPG feel in 16x16 format. It can be single or contained in a pack I just just extract. Thanks for any help.

I apologize I forgot to sign this post. Also I got this worked out. I still would be interested in having another pack tho especially if someone is excited about it. Please message back to my talk page BornAProphet - MyTalk

Chainmail
No one seems to be talking about chainmail armor, so i'll just say this, it looks awesome, but made of FIRE which you can't get in survival, only creative or Too Many Items mod...that sucks

I'm pretty sure you can't even get fire in creative. You have to use TooManyItems, /give, or a third party inventory editing program. TheParadox 22:06, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Why do they bother to make chain mail armor when it's unobtainable in survival? Please give me your opinion. 70.181.68.226 00:30, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

First, you CAN get chainmail armor in survival (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Armor#History). Second, chainmail armor looks awesome and is awesome, allbeit, not for protection. Third, Since it can only be obtained through villagers or gotten as a rare drop from mobs, it is mainly used to show off or impress other players. On servers, it is commonly used as a trade item or a reward since it is so hard to get. --JNRM3 00:42, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Using Armor
I know this is a noob question, but there is nothing on the page to say how to actually put armor on, or take it off (and I don't know how). Can someone please do a Wearing section. flob189 17:39, 16 April 2012 (NZST)
 * In the inventory screen when you have made your armor simply place it in the appropriate head, chest, leggings, boots slot that are next to a character portrait. They should be easy to see (Unless you're using a user unfriendly texture pack...)Danm36 18:40, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Armour Efficiencies
I know this is sort of late, since the armour efficiency numbers aren't important in the newest version, but how exactly are these calculated? Consider this:

(Protection / Materials Used) * (Armour Constant) = Efficiency

To calculate the Armour Constant, you use the most efficient set: 9 Materials for twenty Protection points.

20/9 * AC = 1 therefore, AC = 9/20.

From this I get, for helmets, boots, leggings and chestplates, respectively, .27, .34, .39, and .45.

If anyone knows the original calculation used, I would be eager to know.

EDIT: someone thought it would be correct to use Protection / Materials used, which technically is incorrect as it does not yield an efficiency.

Armor enchantments effects and rule 13 (copyright)
My armor enchanments effects section was deleted, referring to "rule 13". But Rule 13 does not apply here, since I did not do no-trivial word-by-word copying. I did however use his facts, which is allowed by copyright law. Thue 20:39, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

It goes that way?
Assume that player has 10 armor points, and Creeper explodes just one block away. That gives the maximum damage of. 20% of 49 is, as full armorr would block the remaining80%. Charged Creepers does the twice of damage,, which with full armor would be. Am I correct, or is it the other way? 159.255.184.22 14:00, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

EPF
If the way to calculate the EPF is: (6 + level * level) / 2 then shouldn't Level I be 3.5 and Level III be 7.5 or should it be changed to: (11 + (-1)^n + 2 * n^2) / 4

YetAnotherGuy 17:28, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Inconsistency?
In the "Defense points" section it says A full suit of diamond armor protects the player from 80% of damage. Then further down there is another table showing that 0 damage will be dealt to a player wearing a full suit of diamond, when struck by a wooden sword (which normally deals 5 points of damage). If a full suit of diamond reduces damage by 80%, shouldn't the damage dealt from being struck by a wooden sword be .2*5 = 1?

Information...
This site is a horrible abomination that gives me the formulas but doesn't show any pre-calculated examples so that I can make sure I actually understood things right. On top of that it leaves me with many questions. For example:

If a full set of diamond armor grants enough defense to protect the player with 80% against "all damage" then why the hell would I even need to enchant that armor any further ? As I understood it 80% damage reduction is the hard cap. Well fine - if that's the case then there's no need for protective enchants of any kind.

Also some people say this, others say that. Like Feather Falling: Does it either increase the amount of blocks I can fall without taking damage or just reduce the falling damage taken or both ? Where and when did anyone get this data and where's any proof for that ?

I also read somewhere else that the general protection vs everything enchant will always reduce the armor's durability if it reduces damage while specific protective enchants, like protection:fire will not ever cause damage to the armor while standing in lava / burning. A says this, B says that. Where's up to date proof of either one ?

Why can't there be tables with pre-calculated values of EPF and enchantment points lost due to floor ( value ) so that we can see which enchantment type on which level is utter crap ? This is an informative page, isn't it ?

How does defense and protection enchants even add up - if it does ???

So thanks for all the unanswered questions, more confusion, no proof and leaving me with all the paper work. This sucks.

Leather-chain armor/studded armor
According to the edit summary here, the sprites were used in Notch's older game (Legend of The Chambered), and were called "Studded Armor", not "leather-chain armor". Since the name Leather-chain is likely coined by the wiki, would it be worthwhile to switch over to the name studded? --KnightMiner  (t 13:54, 10 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm fine with changing it. The information about those sprites was added here, but it's not clear where that user got the name from. I can't find many other references to leather-chain armor, and all of them seem to link back here. Studded armor is at least somewhat closer to an official name for it. -- Orthotopetalk 16:02, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Egg damage reduced by armor?
Eggs are both listed under things that damage armor and things that don't damage armor. Can someone check which is true? --82.135.92.89 19:28, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Eggs do no damage to either the player, nor the armor while on a singleplayer world. I then logged onto a multiplayer world and spawned in 4 golden chestplates. One of the chestplates was ordinary and unenchanted, another was enchanted with unbreaking III, another one has thorns III, and the final one has thorns CXXVII (127). Each of the chestplates took 1 durability per hit. Now, as you may know thorns usually makes armor take extra damage when hit, and unbreaking usually makes it take less damage when hit. I then decided to try the same with a fishing rod, same thing.--PixelGMS (talk) 13:15, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Once the first snapshot for 1.9 came out I decided I'd do some testing with the arrows, and all arrows, or atleast the 4 I tested, do damage to your armor. I tested the Instant health arrow, the Instant damage arrow, the Spectral arrow, and the Fire resistance arrow. The Insant damage arrow did extra durability damage to the armor.--PixelGMS (talk) 16:11, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Chain Mail
Hi ‎TySkyo, about fire and chain mail: on this wiki we're covering only the latest version in the main body of the article, and any historical detail is covered in the History section. (See MCW:UPTODATE)

In the current version, there is no crafting recipe and there is no fire item fire that you can get in your inventory. You can go back and check too, fire was removed in a snapshot for 1.8. No way to hack it in anymore, no way to use commands, anything: the game has a list of things that it allows in item slots (or drops or whatever), and fire isn't on that list anymore. – Sealbudsman (Aaron) T/C 17:04, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

15w44a or 43a
Hi, I'm pretty sure the nether fortress changes and stronghold library changes happened along with the introduction of the loot table files in 14w43a, not the major rebalance in 44a, is that right? – Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 19:03, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Yeah, you're right, those two changes were 15w43a. Anomie x (talk) 21:10, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Substantial rewrite for 1.9
This page may need a substantial rewrite for 1.9, beyond the simple removal of tags and such. I'll leave this to qualified hands. – Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 16:25, 29 February 2016 (UTC)


 * From the looks of it, most of the upcoming information is already there, it is just the old information which may or may not need to be removed.
 * If no one updates it with a few hours, you should be able to mark it with needs update, then at least readers know it is a bit outdated. – KnightMiner  t/c 16:45, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
