 * So it does, sorry about that. Though obviously cows/cow hides and such haven't been implemented yet. Haipa Doragon 23:33, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

NPC Armor?
What is that last bit? I've spent many hours (but only since late August) and I've never seen an NPC wearing armor. Does that part still apply to Alpha? Noroom 09:07, 18 September 2010 (CDT)

Armoured Zombies in Day?
The pictures at the bottom of the page show zombies wearing armour in the daytime. Do armoured zombies roam around in the daytime? Does the armour protect them from burning in the sunlight? Biendeo 21:07, 4 October 2010 (AEST)

Do they drop the armor when killed?

Nobody here knows, I don't think so. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 17:12, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Both Zombies and Skeletons had a chance of spawning with a random piece of armor in Survival Test. It was purely aesthetic (it did not make them resistant to damage in any way). GraklingHunter 12:08, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

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.

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)

Beta 1.5 armor
I found "power.png" armor file from minecraft beta 1.5:s files. What is that? --NEG4tive 13:58, 20 April 2011 (UTC) [EDIT] Problem solved, it's the file creepers use when one of them is hitted by lightning.

I think it is...it is Rad-mango 06:04, 3 May 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?
