About Iron Leggings

Iron leggings are a solid mid-game piece of leg armour. They give you 5 armour points and 225 durability, which makes them a useful step up from leather or chainmail before you gather diamond gear.

Wear them as part of a full iron set to reduce incoming damage while mining, caving, or fighting mobs. Like other iron armour, they can be enchanted and repaired in an anvil with iron ingots.

How to get Iron Leggings

The most reliable way is crafting them from seven iron ingots arranged in the leggings shape on a crafting table. You can also buy them from armorer villagers, and they sometimes appear in loot chests while exploring. Zombies and skeletons wearing iron leggings occasionally drop them, but that is not worth farming.
