↑ ^{Jump up to: a} ^b Enchantment probabilities are the same as a level-20 to level-39 enchantment would be on an enchantment table that had no cap at level 30, and that was able to apply treasure enchantments (except Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Wind Burst), and where the chance of multiple enchantments is not reduced.
↑ ^{Jump up to: a} ^b All enchantments are equally probable, including treasure enchantments (except Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Wind Burst), and any level of the enchantment is equally probable.
↑ ^{Jump up to: a} ^b The item has between 80% and 100% of its total durability.
↑ ^{Jump up to: a} ^b Enchantment probabilities are the same as a level-5 to level-15 enchantment would be on an enchantment table that was able to apply treasure enchantments (except Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Wind Burst), and where the chance of multiple enchantments is not reduced.

Zombies, husks, skeletons, strays, bogged, piglins have a small chance to spawn wearing armor. There is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with 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 ominous trial spawner. The dropped chestplate is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

Trading[edit | edit source]

Villager	Probability		Villager wants	Player receives
Villager	JE	BE	Villager wants	Player receives
Master Armorer	100%	50%	21–35 × Emerald	Enchanted Diamond Chestplate^{[t 1]}

↑ When creating an enchantment offer, the game uses a random enchantment level from 5 – 19. The enchantments are never treasure enchantments.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Chestplates can be placed in the chest armor slot of a player's inventory for activation. When worn, a diamond chestplate provides 8 () armor points.

Upgrading[edit | edit source]

Repairing[edit | edit source]

Combining[edit | edit source]

Two damaged diamond chestplates can be combined through crafting or using the 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[edit | edit source]

Ingredients	[hide]Anvil recipe
Damaged Diamond Chestplate + Diamond	Diamond Chestplate

A diamond chestplate can also be repaired in an anvil by adding 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 enchantments.

Armor trimming[edit | edit source]

It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, a chestplate, and an ingot or crystal (iron ingot, copper ingot, gold ingot, netherite ingot, emerald, redstone dust, lapis lazuli, amethyst shard, nether quartz, diamond, or resin brick).

These trims have no effect on the gameplay or strength of the armor.
