A leather tunic is the lowest tier of chestplate, crafted from leather. Like all leather armor, it can be dyed.
Obtaining
Crafting
| Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|
| Leather |
Mob loot
Zombies, husks, skeletons, strays and bogged have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include a leather tunic. 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 tunic they're wearing upon death unless they are spawned from an ominous trial spawner. The dropped tunic is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.
Trading

Usage
When worn, a leather tunic provides 3 () armor points.
Powder snow
As with all pieces of leather armor, wearing a leather tunic protects the player from freezing in powder snow.
Repairing
Two damaged leather tunics can be combined through crafting or using the grindstone. The durability of the used leather tunics are added together, plus an extra 5% durability. Both the crafting table and grindstone methods do not keep the enchantments of either tunic.
| Ingredients | Crafting recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Damaged | The durability of the two tunics is added together, plus an extra 5% durability. |
| Ingredients | Grinding recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 2x Damaged | The durability of the two tunics is added together, plus an extra 5% durability. |
Unit repair
| Ingredients | Anvil recipe |
|---|---|
| Damaged + Leather |
An leather tunic can also be repaired in an anvil by adding leather, with each item restoring 25% the tunics' maximum durability, rounded down. Two tunics can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods using the anvil preserves the tunic's enchantments.
Enchantments
A tunic 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 tunic, 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 + Leather Tunic + Any Ingot/Crystal |
Dyeing
Leather tunics can be dyed by combining it with dye(s) through crafting in Java Edition, or by using it on a cauldron containing dyed water in Bedrock Edition. Using dyed leather tunics on a cauldron containing ordinary water removes any dye from it.
