- ↑ a b Enchantment probabilities are the same as a level-20 to level-39 enchantment would be on an enchantment table that had no cap at level 30, and that was able to apply treasure enchantments (except Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Wind Burst), and where the chance of multiple enchantments is not reduced.
- ↑ a b Enchantment probabilities are the same as a level-5 to level-15 enchantment would be on an enchantment table that was able to apply treasure enchantments (except Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Wind Burst), and where the chance of multiple enchantments is not reduced.
- ↑ a b Enchantment probabilities are the same as a level-10 to level-20 enchantment would be on an enchantment table that was able to apply treasure enchantments (except Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Wind Burst), and where the chance of multiple enchantments is not reduced.
- ↑ a b All enchantments are equally probable, including treasure enchantments (except Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Wind Burst), and any level of the enchantment is equally probable.
- ↑ a b The item has between 80% and 100% of its total durability.
Mob loot
Zombies, husks, skeletons, strays and bogged have an extremely small chance to spawn wearing diamond 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.

- ↑ When creating an enchantment offer, the game uses a random enchantment level from 5 to 19. The enchantments are never treasure enchantments.

Upgrading
| Ingredients | Smithing recipe |
|---|---|
| Netherite Upgrade + + Netherite Ingot |
Repairing
Combining
Two damaged diamond chestplates can be combined through crafting or using the grindstone. The durability of the used diamond chestplates are added together, plus an extra 5% durability. Both the crafting table and grindstone methods do not keep the enchantments of either chestplate.
| Ingredients | Crafting recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Damaged | The durability of the two chestplates is added together, plus an extra 5% durability. |
| Ingredients | Grinding recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 2x Damaged | The durability of the two chestplates is added together, plus an extra 5% durability. |
Unit repair
| Ingredients | Anvil recipe |
|---|---|
| Damaged + Diamond |
A diamond chestplate can also be repaired in an anvil by adding diamonds, with each one 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.
Enchantments
A chestplate can receive the following enchantments:
| Name | Description | Max level | Method | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Protection[note 1] | Increases overall damage reduction. | IV | 10 | |
| Projectile Protection[note 1] | Increases damage reduction against projectiles. | IV | 5 | |
| Blast Protection[note 1] | Increases damage reduction against explosions. | IV | 2 | |
| Fire Protection[note 1] | Increases damage reduction against fire. | IV | 5 | |
| Thorns | Deals returning damage to attackers. | III | 1 | |
| Unbreaking | Grants a chance to negate durability consumption. | III | 5 | |
| Mending | Repairs the chestplate when obtaining experience. | I | 2 | |
| Curse of Vanishing | The chestplate vanishes on death, not dropping as an item. | I | 1 | |
| Curse of Binding | Removes the ability to de-equip the chestplate. | I | 1 |
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.
| Ingredients | Smithing recipe |
|---|---|
| Any Armor Trim + Diamond Chestplate + Any Ingot/Crystal |
