	The strength of incoming damage also determines the damage reduction of worn armor, as armor does not protect in a linear fashion, and instead drops off more and more as incoming damage increases. For example, a full set of diamond armor reduces the damage of a zombie's attack by 77%, but reduces the damage of a piglin brute's attack by only 67%. The total damage reduction of armor cannot drop off below 20% of its maximum.

			The location of a given armor piece does not affect its damage reduction. For example, wearing leggings applies its damage reduction to the whole body, not just the player's legs.

	It is possible using {{cmd\|give}} to obtain armor with an [[Minecraft:~~enchanting\|~~enchantment]] level higher than what is normally obtainable via normal [[Minecraft:survival]]. Using this method, a [[Minecraft:player]] could give themselves, for example, a full set of diamond armor with a [[Minecraft:Protection]] V enchantment on every piece. Following the algorithm above, we find that, because Protection V has an EPF of 5, the armor reaches the maximum EPF of 20 for all types of damage. Any higher Protection enchantments could be used to reach the cap with just one level XX (20) enchantment, rather than having a full set of enchanted armor, but would be wasted if all pieces shared the same level enchantment.
