Chain Armor is a type of Armor that was made by Notch as a test. Pieces of chain armor can be crafted like all other types of armor; however, since Fire is the ingredient, which can only be obtained via modding or use of the /give command in Multiplayer, it is not currently available in Survival. Chain armor has the same durability as iron armor, but provides only slightly more protection than gold armor.

Chain 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.

In Beta 1.8 it became available in Creative mode (although armor cannot be equipped in Creative). It remains unknown if it will be craftable in Survival mode in the future.

Trivia

  • The chain chestplate has slightly longer sleeves than all other chestplates.
  • The chain armor can now be acquired "legitimately" with Creative mode in 1.8, but as it is still made of fire, players are still unable to acquire it in Survival.
