Armor

Armor is a set of items that grants the player and armored zombies protection.

Armor has had an overhaul compared to vanilla Minecraft, in which different materials give better protection to different types of damage.

Natural generation

Armor can be found in loot chests of generated structures such as the dungeons or labyrinths. Chainmail armor being one of the only armors obtainable through loot chests.

Repairing

Chainmail armor can only be found in dungeons or labyrinths. Chainmail armor can be repaired using chainlinks. The more chainlinks used to repair the armor, the more durability it receives.

Protection

Protection is split into four categories: combat, blast, fall and fire.

• Combat protects against any source of physical damage. This includes from mobs, players, spikes and arrows.
• Blast protects against explosives, such as from creepers, TNT, or the hand cannon.
• Fall reduces falling damage.
• Fire reduces damage from burning, fire, and lava.

The protection values can be viewed in the inventory screen by pressing the chestplate button in the top right of the player-model's area. Once pressed it will bring up a window to the left of the inventory showcasing each value as a bar from 0 to 100. Although bars can be maxed out by wearing certain armor combinations, the maximum protection value is 99, meaning it is impossible to be fully immune to any type of damage.

Damage is calculated using this formula:

${\begin{aligned}&{\mathsf {damageTotal}}={\mathsf {damageBase}}\times {\mathsf {max}}\left(1-{\frac {\mathsf {protectionType}}{100}},0.01\right)\\&{\mathsf {rand}}={\mathsf {random}}\left(\right)\\&{\mathsf {damageTaken}}={\begin{cases}{\mathsf {floor}}\left({\mathsf {damageTotal}}\right){\text{ if }}{\mathsf {rand}}>0.5\\{\mathsf {ceil}}\left({\mathsf {damageTotal}}\right){\text{ if }}{\mathsf {rand}}\leq 0.5\\\end{cases}}\end{aligned}}$

Durability

Armor durability works as as it does in Beta 1.7.3, with any form of damage reducing the durability of each piece by 1. However, fall protection uses more durability based on the amount of height the player fell from.

Armor statistics and properties

Below is a list of stats for every type of armor and what they specialize in:
