Mob loot

[edit | edit source]

Zombies, husks, skeletons, strays, and bogged have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include iron leggings. 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 leggings they're wearing upon death unless they are spawned from an ominous trial spawner. The dropped leggings are usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

In Bedrock Edition, vindicators and pillagers spawning in raids have a 4.16% chance (5.128% on hard difficulty) to drop a pair of iron leggings. The dropped leggings are usually badly damaged, and have a 50% chance of being enchanted with a random enchantment.

Combining

[edit | edit source]

Two damaged pairs of iron leggings can be combined through crafting, using the grindstone or the anvil. The durability of the used iron leggings is added together, plus an extra 5% durability.

Crafting and using the grindstone do not keep the enchantments of either leggings.

Iron leggings can also be repaired in an anvil by adding iron ingots, with each ingot restoring 25% the leggings' maximum durability, rounded down. This preserves the leggings' enchantments, but costs experience.

Armor trimming

[edit | edit source]

It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, a leggings, 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.
