Can you tell me how you can find it in all ways?

Community Answer

Trade with a Blacksmith Villager or loot it in chests you didn't place like a Temple, or those places in mines with mossy stone.

Question

Why do you need chain armor?

Community Answer

For protection. It's not as strong as iron armor, but stronger than leather armor. You could say it's like the stone tools of the armor section.

Most likely not. However, nobody can tell what Mojang is going to do (except for Mojang itself).

Question

Can you make chain armor out of any material?

Community Answer

Originally, you could only craft chain armor with fire blocks - something you can't get in survival or adventure mode - but now you simply can't craft it at all. You can only get it through trades, mob drops or commands.

You cannot make chain mail armor in Minecraft. The only way to get it is in Creative Mode, or in a loot chest in a dungeon, temple, etc.

Question

How do I craft chain armor in Minecraft?

Community Answer

You can’t craft chain mail armor any more, but the recipe used to be with fire blocks, which don’t exist anymore. You can find them by trading, fighting hostile mobs with them, or by digging around in loot chests in dungeons or temples.

Question

Can't you just make this using chains?

Top Answerer

No, even though chains were added into Minecraft with the 1.16 update, the crafting recipes for chainmail armor were not added and therefore it cannot be crafted.

Question

Will they add more animals in Minecraft?

Seasalt25

Top Answerer

Yes, Mojang will most likely add more animals in future Minecraft updates. For instance, the newest 1.17 update added axolotls and goats. I'm sure future updates will include more animals too.

Question

Why can't I craft chainmail armor even though there are now chains in Minecraft?

Seasalt25

Top Answerer

You can't craft chainmail armor even though chains exist in Minecraft because Mojang never added crafting recipes for chainmail armor.

Question

What is the point of getting chainmail armor when you can't craft it? Why not just get iron armor?

Seasalt25

Top Answerer

Some people may just like the look of chainmail armor over iron or other armor types. Some people may want to display it on an armor stand just because. Additionally, it is possible to get chainmail armor before you can get iron armor, and wearing whatever armor is available is helpful.
