Minecraft:Diamond Chestplate

Template:Infobox item A diamond chestplate is a variant of Minecraft:chestplate crafted from Minecraft:diamonds. It is the second-highest Minecraft:tier of chestplate, having higher armor points, armor toughness, durability, and Minecraft:enchantability than an Minecraft:iron chestplate. It can be upgraded into a Minecraft:netherite chestplate using a Minecraft:netherite ingot and Minecraft:netherite upgrade at a Minecraft:smithing table.

Obtaining

Mob loot

Minecraft:Zombies, Minecraft:husks, Minecraft:skeletons, Minecraft:strays, and Minecraft:bogged have an extremely small chance to spawn wearing diamond 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.

Usage

When worn, a diamond chestplate provides Template:Armor Minecraft:armor points and Template:Armor Minecraft:armor toughness.

Repairing

Combining

Two damaged diamond chestplates can be combined through Minecraft:crafting or using the Minecraft:grindstone. The durability of the used diamond 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 diamond chestplate can also be repaired in an Minecraft:anvil by adding Minecraft:diamonds, with each one 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.
