Minecraft:Iron Horse Armor: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:14, 17 June 2026

Template:Infobox item Iron horse armor is the fourth-strongest tier of Minecraft:horse armor. Unlike other Minecraft:iron items, it cannot be Minecraft:crafted and is only obtainable from Minecraft:chest loot in various Minecraft:structures.

Obtaining

Template:LootChestItem

Usage

Only regular adult Minecraft:horses and Minecraft:zombie horses can wear iron horse armor; baby horses, Minecraft:donkeys, Minecraft:mules and Minecraft:skeleton horses cannot be equipped with armor.

Equipping

Iron horse armor can be equipped to a horse either by manually placing it in its respective slot (Template:SlotSprite) in the horse’s inventory, or by pressing Use on the horse while holding it.

The iron horse armor can be removed either by manually removing it from the armor slot or by using Minecraft:shears on the horse.

Protection

When equipped, iron horse armor gives Template:Armor Minecraft:armor points.

Horse armor protects Minecraft:zombie horses from burning in sunlight.

If a horse dies while equipped with iron horse armor, it drops its normal loot, a Minecraft:saddle (if it had one), and the horse armor.

Durability

Unlike player armor or wolf armor, horse armor does not have Minecraft:durability. This means a single iron horse armor can be used infinitely unless it is destroyed through other means.

Enchanting

Unlike player armor, horse armor cannot be enchanted in Survival mode. However, Template:In Creative mode, horse armor can be used with an Minecraft:anvil to enchant with Minecraft:Thorns, Minecraft:Feather Falling, Minecraft:Protection, Minecraft:Fire Protection, Minecraft:Projectile Protection, Minecraft:Blast Protection, Minecraft:Curse of Binding, and Minecraft:Curse of Vanishing. Other enchantments can be applied, but they have no effect.
