Copper Leggings
Copper Leggings are a Minecraft armor piece crafted from 7 copper ingots that grant 3 defense points and last 165 durability in Java Edition.
Description
A Copper Leggings piece accepts Protection, Fire Protection, Blast Protection, Projectile Protection, Thorns, Swift Sneak, Unbreaking, Mending, the Curse of Binding, and the Curse of Vanishing from an enchanting table or anvil. Copper is fully renewable because a Drowned drops a copper ingot at an 11% base chance, rising to 17% with Looting III, so a Drowned farm supplies endless material. Repair a damaged Copper Leggings piece on an anvil with copper ingots, where each ingot restores 25% of the maximum durability rounded down, keeping the tier-relevant 8 enchantability intact.
