Minecraft:Chainmail Chestplate
More actions
Template:For Template:Infobox item A chainmail chestplateTemplate:Fn is an uncommon variant of Minecraft:chestplate that cannot be crafted, and is only obtainable through other means such as Minecraft:trading. It is the fourth-highest tier of chestplate, having the same armor points as a Minecraft:golden chestplate but with higher durability.
Obtaining
Mob loot
Minecraft:Zombies, Minecraft:husks, Minecraft:skeletons, Minecraft:strays, and Minecraft:bogged have a small chance to spawn wearing armor. 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.
Template:IN, naturally spawned armor worn by a zombie has a 100% drop rate when a zombie is Minecraft:drowned.

Usage
When worn, a chainmail chestplate provides Template:Armor Minecraft:armor points.
Smelting
Repairing
Two damaged chainmail chestplates can be combined through Minecraft:crafting or using the Minecraft:grindstone. The durability of the used chainmail chestplates are added together, plus an extra 5% durability. Both the crafting table and grindstone methods do not keep the enchantments of either chestplate.

Unit repair
A chainmail chestplate can also be repaired in an Minecraft:anvil by adding Minecraft:iron ingots, 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: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.
