'''Chainmail leggings'''{{fn|Named '''Mail Leggings''' in [[Minecraft:Language#Differences between English variants|Canadian English]].}} are an [[Minecraft:Rarity#Uncommon|uncommon]] variant of [[Minecraft:leggings]] that cannot be crafted, and are only obtainable through other means such as [[Minecraft:trading]]. They are the fourth-highest [[Minecraft:tier]] of leggings, having higher armor points and durability than [[Minecraft:Golden Leggings|golden]] and [[Minecraft:copper leggings]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
[[Minecraft:Zombie]]s, [[Minecraft:husk]]s, [[Minecraft:skeleton]]s, [[Minecraft:stray]]s, and [[Minecraft:bogged]] have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include chainmail leggings. There is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with [[Minecraft:Looting]] I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop the leggings they're wearing upon death unless they are spawned from an [[Minecraft:ominous trial spawner]]. The dropped leggings are usually badly damaged, and may be [[Minecraft:enchanted]] with enchantment levels 5-19.

=== Trading ===
{{Trade sources}}

=== Villager gifts ===
{{IN|JE}} armorer villagers may give players with the [[Minecraft:Hero of the Village]] effect chainmail leggings.

== Usage ==
When worn, chainmail leggings provide {{armor|4}} [[Minecraft:armor points]].

==== Repairing ====
Two damaged pairs of chainmail leggings can be combined through [[Minecraft:crafting]] or using the [[Minecraft:grindstone]]. The durability of the used chainmail leggings are added together, plus an extra 5% durability. Both the crafting table and grindstone methods do not keep the enchantments of either leggings.

Chainmail leggings can also be repaired in an [[Minecraft:anvil]] by adding [[Minecraft:iron ingot]]s, with each ingot restoring 25% the leggings' maximum durability, rounded down. Two pairs of leggings of the same tier can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods using the anvil preserve the leggings' [[Minecraft:enchantment]]s.

=== Enchantments ===
Leggings can receive the following [[Minecraft:enchantment]]s:

=== Armor trimming ===
It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a [[Minecraft:smithing template]], a leggings, and an ingot or crystal ([[Minecraft:iron ingot]], [[Minecraft:copper ingot]], [[Minecraft:gold ingot]], [[Minecraft:netherite ingot]], [[Minecraft:emerald]], [[Minecraft:redstone dust]], [[Minecraft:lapis lazuli]], [[Minecraft:amethyst shard]], [[Minecraft:nether quartz]], [[Minecraft:diamond]], or [[Minecraft:resin brick]]).

These trims have no effect on the gameplay or strength of the armor.
