An '''iron chestplate''' is a variant of [[Minecraft:chestplate]] that is crafted from [[Minecraft:iron ingot]]s. It is the third-highest [[Minecraft:tier]] of chestplate, having higher armor points than [[Minecraft:Golden Chestplate|golden]] and [[Minecraft:chainmail chestplate]]s.

=== Natural generation ===
Two [[Minecraft:armor stand]]s are found in each [[Minecraft:taiga village]] outdoor armory, one of them equipped with an iron chestplate.

=== Generated loot ===
{{LootChestItem|iron-chestplate,level-enchanted-iron-chestplate,level-enchanted-iron-chestplate-0-10}}

=== Mob loot ===
[[Minecraft:Zombie]]s, [[Minecraft:husk]]s, [[Minecraft:skeleton]]s, [[Minecraft:stray]]s, and [[Minecraft:bogged]] have a small chance to spawn [[Minecraft:Geared mobs|wearing armor]], which may include an iron chestplate. 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 chestplate they're wearing upon death unless they are spawned from an [[Minecraft:ominous trial spawner]]. The dropped chestplate is usually badly damaged, and may be [[Minecraft:enchanted]] with enchantment levels 5-19.

{{IN|bedrock}}, [[Minecraft:vindicator]]s and [[Minecraft:pillager]]s spawning in [[Minecraft:raid]]s have a 4.16% chance (5.128% on hard difficulty) to drop an iron chestplate. The dropped chestplate is usually badly damaged, and has a 50% chance of being [[Minecraft:enchanted]] with a random [[Minecraft:enchantment]].

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

== Usage ==
When worn, an iron chestplate provides {{armor|6}} [[Minecraft:armor points]].
=== Repairing ===
Two damaged iron chestplates can be combined through [[Minecraft:crafting]] or using the [[Minecraft:grindstone]]. The durability of the used iron chestplates are added together, plus an extra 5% durability. Both the crafting table and grindstone methods do not keep the enchantments of either chestplate.

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

=== Enchantments ===
An iron chestplate can receive the following [[Minecraft:enchantment]]s:

=== Armor trimming ===
It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a [[Minecraft:smithing template]], a chestplate, 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.

{{Smithing

|ingredients=Any Armor Trim + Iron Chestplate + Any Ingot/Crystal

|Amethyst Shard; Copper Ingot; Diamond; Emerald; Gold Ingot; Iron Ingot; Lapis Lazuli; Nether Quartz; Netherite Ingot; Redstone Dust; Resin Brick
