5Standard Armor

The Basics

There are a total of six armor sets you can wear. These can be customized withenchantments, armor trims and dye for leather-based armor. Out of all the armor, only five can easily be obtained by the player through crafting/upgrades: leather, iron, gold, diamond and netherite. Each one has a set of matching tools.

Leather can be gained from killing mobs such as cows and horses. Iron, gold and diamonds are most commonly gained from mining in the overworld. Finally, netherite is obtained through mining scraps in the nether and combining it with gold ingots. All the armor generally gets better as your materials do, minus gold, which is flimsy.

4Chainmail Armor

Chainmail is a difficult set of armor to obtain as it can not be crafted or upgraded like the rest of your armor. Instead, chainmail is obtained throughtrading with an armorer villageror dropped from mobs that spawn wearing it.

As a general rule, it’s better than leather armor but not as good as iron armor. It stands out with its unique texture, making it an interesting piece of fashion. You can also, however, display it on an armor stand as part of a complete armor collection to flex on friends. Its best matching tool set is stone, which can easily be crafted.

Turtle scutes are gained when a baby turtle grows up. To do this, your best bet is to build a safe zone full of sand to breed your turtles. After feeding them seagrass, they should start to dig in the sand to lay their eggs. These are fragile and will take several days to hatch into baby turtles you can raise.

2Wolf Armor

Strong Puppy

Wolf armor has been needed for a long time to protect our adorable pups from danger. Added in version 1.20.5, it can be dyed like leather armor to make your wolf easily identifiable by players or just look fancy.

It can be crafted and repaired using armadillo scutes, which can be obtained by brushing armadillos. Unlike sheep who need to regrow wool, the armadillo remains unaffected, meaning you’re able to farm as many scutes as you need for your army. Just be aware this will quickly break your brushes, so be sure to keep a lot on hand if your canine army is particularly large.

Protect Your Steed

There are four types of horse armor which you may obtain. Leather armor can be crafted using leather drops from cows. Iron, gold and diamond are only available asloot drops in your world.

These can be equipped to your horse along with a saddle, making your stead both stylish and safe from potential damage as mobs will want you dead. Leather armor can even be dyed to customize your horse further with colorful armor to match your vibe.
