Make Armor in Minecraft
Nights in Minecraft can be brutal. If you want to survive the hordes of monsters outside your gates, you had better make some armor. Any kind will do.
Steps
- Decide on the material or quality of armor you want.
- Armor will give you more defense based on the material. From lowest to highest defense rating:
- Leather/Gold ingots/Chain (see Tips)/Iron ingots/Diamonds
- Collect enough of your materials to make each piece of armor.
- That's 4 pieces for boots, 7 for pants, 8 for a chest piece, 5 for a helmet, and 24 pieces for a full set.
- Craft your helmet by placing 3 of your material across the top, and 2 in the outside middle spaces of a crafting table.
- Craft your chest piece by placing your material in every space but the top middle one.
- Craft your pants by placing your material in every slot but the middle and the bottom middle spaces.
- Craft your boots by placing your material in the outside bottom and outside middle spaces of a crafting table.
- Put your armor on by right-clicking it in your inventory or dragging it into your armor spaces by your character.
Tips
- You can't mix and match material in each armor piece, but mixing and matching armor pieces works fine.
- Each armor icon gives you an 8% reduction in damage, so a full set of diamond armor reduces your damage by 80%.
- The only way to get chain armor is to find it in a chest or on a mob, or to have hacked the "flame" block into your inventory and build the armor pieces with that.
- Each armor has a different max level it can be enchanted to, with gold being the highest at 25 and iron being the lowest at 9.
- Diamond, while the rarest material, is the most efficient when comparing number of materials used to amount of armor obtained.
