About Golden Chestplate
The Golden Chestplate is a wearable piece of golden armor that protects your chest and torso. It gives the same base protection as a chain chestplate, but its durability is low, so it wears out faster than iron or diamond armor.
Key facts:
- Provides 5 armor points.
- Is easy to enchant with high-level enchantments.
- Can be repaired with gold ingots on an anvil.
- Wearing any gold armor stops piglins from attacking you on sight.
Gold armor is rarely used as long-term protection because of its low durability, but it is handy in the Nether and for cheap enchanted gear.
How to get Golden Chestplate
You can craft a Golden Chestplate from 8 gold ingots arranged in the chestplate pattern at a crafting table. You may also find one inside ruined portal chests, and zombified piglins wearing golden armor can occasionally drop the chestplate when killed.
