Damage reduction

Wearing armor reduces incoming damage according to two values: armor, and armor toughness. Each piece of armor provides a given armor and armor toughness value, and the values from each armor piece are added together when calculating damage reduction.

The strength of incoming damage also determines the damage reduction of worn armor, as armor does not protect in a linear fashion.

Dyeing leather armor

  • In Java Edition, leather armor can be dyed by crafting it together with 1 or more dyes.
  • In Bedrock Edition, leather armor can be dyed by using it on a cauldron filled with dyed water. This consumes 1 layer of water but does not change the color of the water.
    • Dyed leather armor also be undyed by using it on a cauldron with undyed water. This changes the water's color to the color of the armor's dye, and changes the leather armor to have no dye color.

Default color hex code for leather armor is
 #A06540.
