Chainmail Leggings are leg armor in Minecraft that grant 4 armor points (two full armor icons) and have a durability of 225 hits — identical to Iron Leggings but with zero armor toughness. Unlike most equipment, Chainmail Leggings cannot be crafted on a crafting table in Survival mode; players obtain Chainmail Leggings by trading emeralds with armorer villagers, as a rare drop from zombies, husks, or skeletons that spawn wearing them, or through the /give command in Creative.

Chainmail Leggings sit between Gold Leggings (3 armor points) and Iron Leggings (5 armor points) on the protection scale, making Chainmail Leggings a solid mid-game choice when iron is scarce. Chainmail Leggings accept enchantments such as Protection IV, Unbreaking III, and Mending, but they have no anvil repair material — the only ways to restore durability are the Mending enchantment or combining two damaged Chainmail Leggings. This repair limitation makes Mending especially valuable for any player committed to a long-term Chainmail Leggings set.
