About the Leather Chestplate
The Leather Chestplate is a basic early-game armour piece for your chest slot. It offers modest protection and low durability compared with iron or diamond armour, but it has one fun advantage: leather armour is the only player armour you can dye.
Key facts:
- Provides 3 armour points and 81 durability.
- Can be dyed any colour using dye.
- Repairs with leather at an anvil.
It is better than no armour, but most players replace it with iron as soon as they can.
How to get the Leather Chestplate
You can craft a Leather Chestplate with 8 leather arranged in a chestplate shape, leaving the top middle slot empty. Leather is easy to gather from cows, mooshrooms, and horses, so this is often one of the first armour pieces you can make. You can also sometimes find leather chestplates on zombies wearing armour, and leatherworker villagers may sell leather armour pieces.
