Armor includes four separate pieces of protective apparel: Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings and Boots. None of these items are naturally-occurring and can only be obtained through Crafting. A player wearing armor will be able to withstand more damage from Mobs and the environment, but armor, like other items, wears down over time until it is destroyed.

All armor items can be crafted using one of four Raw Materials: Leather, Iron Ingot, Gold Ingot and Diamond. The material used does not affect the protective effectiveness of an item, but does affect the durability of the armor item.

All armor can also have Enchantments on them by using levels at an Enchanting Table.

Leather Armor can be dyed using Dyes. To dye armor put both the piece of armor dye into the crafting table.

Helmet

A Helmet, while worn on the head, reduces player damage by 8%. In order to Craft a helmet, you need at least five of the same Raw Material.

Chestplate

Wearing a Chestplate reduces player damage by 32%. Crafting a chestplate requires eight of the same Raw Material.

Leggings

Leggings reduce player damage by 24%. Crafting a set of leggings requires at least seven of the same Raw Material.

Boots

Boots, like a Helmet, reduce player damage by just 8%. To Craft boots, you need just four of the same Raw Material.
