Chain Armor



Chainmail Armor (aka Chain armor) is a type of armor that was made by Notch as a test. Pieces of chainmail armor can be crafted like all other types of armor, but with Fire as the ingredient, which can only be obtained via hacking/modding or use of the /give command in Multiplayer; thus, it is not currently available in-game. Chainmail armor has the same durability as Gold armor.

Chainmail armor is unique in that it is the only default armor with large amounts of transparency within the armor. Every other pixel is transparent, except for the front of the head, which has a clear space for the face, and other areas which have no covering.

Notch briefly mentioned that he will add legitimate chainmail armor, most likely in a future update.

Chainmail armor is not in some texture packs and is sometimes used in some adventure maps as an accessory.

Trivia

 * The Chain chestplate has slightly longer sleeves than all the other chestplates.
 * The Chain armor will prevent you from catching on fire, if you are missing one part of the chain armor set (e.g. chain mail helmet) you will still catch on fire. Chain armor will take about 50 seconds to deplete itself if you standing on a block of fire. If you stand on a block of fire for about 10 seconds the chain boots will deplete causing you to catch on fire.
