Alex "Raoom" Sukhanov The cubic world hides many secrets and dangers, especially when the square sun sets over the horizon and darkness descends. You can get into trouble even without moving from your spawn point, and protection is one of the main aspects of the game.
Minecraft offers a variety of armor types, each of which is unlocked gradually. Imagine starting your journey as an ordinary traveler with bare hands and wearing only a blue shirt. Now, together, we will adventures from a defenseless wanderer to a hero in invulnerable armor.
Leather armor — first steps

Your journey begins with finding your start variant — leather. This is the simplest and most accessible form of protection, but it is not the most durable. It is made from regular leather, which you can obtain by killing cows. So, it's time to go hunting. It’s worth noting that if you don’t want to kill defenseless cows, you can find leather in chests, but it will take a lot of time.
To craft it, you will need:
- Leather chestplate: 8 pieces of leather;
- Leather leggings: 7 pieces of leather;
- Leather boots: 4 pieces of leather;
- Leather helmet: 5 pieces of leather.
How to make armor in Minecraft? You just need to know the basic version pattern — all types are crafted using this template, except for the netherite version. So, let's start with the helmet.

Cool! Your first armor set is ready — it will protect you from weak attacks and give you the confidence that you have taken the first step toward greatness. Now that we have protection, it's time to go underground and find stronger materials.
Iron armor — a step towards true protection

The underground holds many resources, and one of the first you'll find is iron. At first, there isn’t much, but the deeper the mine goes, the more ore you find. Iron is a stronger material, and with it, you can withstand strong attacks from zombies, skeletons, and other foul creatures.
You’ll need to work with a pickaxe and gather as much iron ore as possible. I recommend staying here and collecting more material, as you will definitely need it later. Once everything is ready, head to the furnace and smelt 24 iron ingots. Yes, that's a lot, but it's worth it!
To craft it, you will need:
- Iron chestplate: 8 iron ingots;
- Iron leggings: 7 ingots;
- Iron boots: 4 ingots;
- Iron helmet: 5 ingots.
Now you are Iron Man! This suit provides excellent protection and serves reliably in battle.
Chainmail armor — rare and mysterious

On your journey, you might come across a chainmail type. This is a special type of protection that is difficult to create on your own because it requires fire blocks, which are unavailable in survival mode. Such armor can only be obtained in two ways: trading with a village blacksmith or looting it from mobs like zombies and skeletons.
Although the chainmail version is not as strong as iron, it gives you a mysterious look and a sense of rarity. For many players, collecting it is an achievement in itself. If you are lucky enough to find such a rarity — cherish it and be proud of it, as it is truly unique!
Yes, an armor stand will definitely come in handy here.
Golden armor — shine, but not strength

Near iron, you can find gold, which can also be used to craft. A golden type is the choice of those who value luxury, but be careful: such a suit is more for beauty than for protection. It has low durability and breaks down faster than iron or diamond armor.
However, the golden variant is still useful, especially in the Nether. Piglins, the inhabitants of this place, will be friendly to you if you wear at least one golden item. This will give you a chance to safely explore the Nether and gather valuable resources.
To craft, you will need:
- Golden chestplate: 8 gold ingots;
- Golden leggings: 7 ingots;
- Golden boots: 4 ingots;
- Golden helmet: 5 ingots.
Use this wisely: it can protect you in specific situations, but don’t rely on it in serious battles. It’s more about style and tactics than strength.
Diamond armor — under the veil of eternity

You have come a long way and are ready for the next steps! Now that iron armor is slightly worn and covered with numerous scars from battles, it’s time to go searching for diamonds. You need to mine them at deep levels, where caves are dark and dangerous. But believe me, diamonds are worth it: with them, you will be almost invulnerable!
To craft, you’ll need:
- Diamond chestplate: 8 diamonds;
- Diamond leggings: 7 diamonds;
- Diamond boots: 4 diamonds;
- Diamond helmet: 5 diamonds.
You will feel that you are not afraid of mobs or battles with enemies. However, know that there is something even more powerful, and that is what you can strive for next.
Netherite armor — strength that burns in fire

If you thought diamond armor was the pinnacle, you are mistaken. The latest game updates have introduced a new top-tier set. To create it, you’ll need to go to the Nether. There, among the lava and dangerous creatures, are ancient debris that can be smelted into netherite scrap. Combining the scrap with diamond armor, you’ll create the most powerful armor in the game.
This won’t be easy, so let's talk about crafting in more detail.
First, head to the Nether and collect debris to smelt into scrap later.

Now you need to combine the scrap with gold to obtain a netherite ingot.

We are almost at the goal! Now you need to combine the netherite ingot with each piece of diamond armor. This is done at the smithing table.
Now you are a legend! These suits do not burn in lava, and even powerful hits cannot destroy them as quickly as any others.
Now you know everything about armor in Minecraft. Shiny type will become a symbol of your strength, wisdom, and determination. Let every enemy hit only temper your steel, and you yourself become truly invincible!
