Leather

Mob loot

Zombies, husks, skeletons, strays, bogged, piglins, and zombified 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 leggings they're wearing upon death unless they are spawned from an ominous trial spawner. The dropped armor item is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5–19.

Usage

When worn, leather pants provide 2 () armor points.

Powder snow

As with all pieces of leather armor, wearing leather pants protects the player from freezing in powder snow.

Repairing

Two damaged leather pants can be combined through crafting or using the grindstone. The durability of the used leather pants are added together, plus an extra 5% durability. Both the crafting table and grindstone methods do not keep the enchantments of either pants.

Armor trimming

It is possible to upgrade pants with trims. This requires a smithing template, the pants, 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.

Dyeing

Leather pants can be dyed by combining it with dye(s) through crafting in Java Edition, or by using it on a cauldron containing dyed water in Bedrock Edition. Using dyed leather pants on a cauldron containing ordinary water removes any dye from it.
