Armor

as we all know, the minecraft is very dangerous. Luckily we can create armor to protect ourselves from zombies,spider,creepers etc... 

It Takes 24 pieces of a given material to make a full set of armor. a set of armor includes a helmet, a chestplate, leggings and boots. each of these give you different amounts of protection. with chestplates providing most defence points and boots providing the lowest amount of protection (I will get to this in a bit more detail later on)


armor can ONLY be repaired by putting two of the same type of armor in a crafting table (this is a shapeless crafting which means it can be anywhere in a crafting table it does work in your inventory 2x2 crafting grid.) however, this will get rid of the armor's enchantments.to keep the enchantments repair with an anvil but this costs levels although it is absolutely worth it!

TYPES OF ARMOR.

Armor can be made out of leather, iron, gold & diamond.Each substance of armor offers different level of protection. with leather being the weakest and diamond being the strongest


You'll see four armor slots in the top left corner of your inventory. drag your finished piece of armor to the appropiate slot and it will appear on your body (Press F5 for proof!) REMEMBER: as armor absorbs damage its durabilty goes down. so if one is about to break make sure you craft a spare one so that you can wear it once it breaks. 

your armor bar will automatically appear above your health bar as soon as you wear atleast one piece of armor. Keep an eye out on how much durability is left in it and have a back-up in case one breaks. 


Chainmail armor although exists, cannot be crafted. you can only get chainmail armor if a mob that is wearing it drops it,or trade it off villagers! 


TIP: you can get all types of armor by trading with villagers with the exception of golden armor (Yes, this means diamond armor can be got by trading with villagers)


DID YOU KNOW? 

The player's current protection level is represented visually by the armor bar. Each defense point represent 4% damage reduction. With all 20 shown full, the player has a total of 80% damage reduction. The armor meter is affected by the particular pieces that are worn, as well as the tier of the armor. Different combinations of armor provide different levels of defense. A full suit of diamond armor protects the player from 80% of damage, whereas a full suit of iron will provide 60% protection and a full suit of leather will provide 28%.


The following table shows the amount of defense points added by each individual piece of armor, as well as the total points added by a full set of armor for each material.

Material	Full set	Helmet	Chestplate	Leggings	Boots
Leather	3.5	0.5	1.5	1	0.5
Golden	5.5	1	2.5	1.5	0.5
Chain	6	1	2.5	2	0.5
Iron	7.5	1	3	2.5	1
Diamond	10	1.5	4	3	1.5

DURBAILITY 

Any hit from a damage source that can be blocked by armor will remove one point of durability from each piece of armor worn. The following chart displays how many hits each piece of armor can endure.

Material	Helmet	Chestplate	Leggings	Boots
Leather	56	81	76	66
Golden	78	113	106	92
Chain/Iron	166	241	226	196
Diamond	364	529	496	430

Leather armor can be dyed by crafting dyes in with a piece of leather armor. There are a possible combination of 12,326,391 colors, as it is possible to put more than one dye on the crafting bench alongside the leather armor. Armor can be dyed multiple times with previous colors affecting the final outcome. Colored armor can be reverted to their original color using a cauldron. how? well when you right click a cauldrop WITH water it takes away a bit off the water and then the last dye that was put to the armor piece will be deleted. here is a photo that shows all the combinations of 2 dyes in a leather chestplate:


also here is a picture of all the dyes in minecraft as of yet! and is a gif! please note all these pics are from the minecraft wiki i do not take credit for it


The game has a specific formula for calculating the color of dyed armor: each color, in the RGB color model, has a red value, green value, and blue value. For each dye in the crafting grid, and the armor itself (if it is already dyed), the red, green, and blue values are added to running totals. In addition, a running total of the highest value (be it red, green, or blue) is also kept. After this, each total is divided by the number of colors tested. This effectively produces the average red, green, blue, and maximum values. The maximum value of the average RGB values is also calculated. Finally, each average RGB value is multiplied by the average maximum value, and divided by the maximum of the average RGB values. The modified average RGB values are then used as the final color. This procedure can be summed up with the following equations:
