Mob loot

Zombies, husks, skeletons, strays, bogged and 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.

Usage

When worn, a golden chestplate provides 5 (🛡🛡🛡) armor points.

Piglins

As with other pieces of gold armor, piglins do not attack players wearing golden chestplates unless provoked or attacked.
Piglins are also attracted towards golden chestplates on the ground and equip them after inspecting them.

Repairing

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

An golden chestplate can also be repaired in an anvil by adding gold ingots, with each ingot 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

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.
