Usage

Chestplates can be placed in the chest slot of a player's Minecraft:inventory for activation.

Statistics

Each armor point reduces damage by 4% (increasing additively). Armor points are signified by half a shirt on the armor bar above the health bar. The effectiveness of armor points is decreased as the strength of incoming attacks increase, an effect lessened by armor toughness. Armor toughness does not have a visual indicator bar. Chestplate durability is decreased by 1 for every Template:Hp of incoming damage (rounded down, but never below 1). Different chestplate types have different enchantability from one another, a value that affects the strength of enchantments received directly though Minecraft:enchanting tables. Netherite chestplates provide a knockback resistance of 1 (10%).

Repairing

Unit repair

Template:Main Template:Repairing with Anvils A chestplate can be repaired in an Minecraft:anvil by adding units of the Minecraft:tiers' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% the chestplate' maximum durability, rounded down. Two chestplates of the same tier can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the chestplate's Minecraft:enchantments.

Enchantments

A chestplate can receive the following Minecraft:enchantments:

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.
