Leather pants[a] are a variant of leggings that are crafted from leather. They are the seventh-highest tier of leggings, having the lowest armor points and durability. Like all leather armor, they can be dyed and protect the wearer from freezing.

Mob loot

Zombies, husks, zombie villagers‌[Java Edition only], skeletons, strays, bogged, and parched have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include leather pants. 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 pants they're wearing upon death unless they are spawned from an ominous trial spawner. The dropped pants are usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5–19.

  1. ↑ The leather armor has a random color created by two dyes (possibly the same dye twice.)

Usage

When worn, leather pants provide 2 (🛡) armor points.

Powder snow

As with all pieces of leather armor, wearing leather pants protects the player from freezing in powder snow.

Repairing

Two damaged leather pants can be combined through crafting or using the grindstone. The durability of the used leather pants are added together, plus an extra 5% durability. Both the crafting table and grindstone methods do not keep the enchantments of either pants.

Leather pants can also be repaired in an anvil by adding leather, with each item restoring 25% of the pants' maximum durability, rounded down. Two pants can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods using the anvil preserves the pants' enchantments.

Armor trimming

It is possible to upgrade pants with trims. This requires a smithing template, the pants, 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.

Dyeing

Leather pants can be dyed by combining it with dye(s) through crafting in Java Edition, or by using it on a cauldron containing dyed water in Bedrock Edition. Using dyed leather pants on a cauldron containing ordinary water removes any dye from it.

Item data

Java Edition:

  • [NBT Compound / JSON Object] components: the item's components tag.
    • [Int] minecraft:dyed_color: The RGB color of the tint applied to a dyed item, typically as a result of combining the item with dyes in a minecraft:crafting_dyed type crafting recipe. More generally, this component is used as the minecraft:dye color provider in item model definitions (so only item models that explicitly use this color provider will be tinted). If present on an item, gray text is added to the tooltip showing either an italic "Dyed" when advanced tooltips is off, or a non-italic "Color: #<hex color code>"[note 1] instead when advanced tooltips is on. The color is stored as an integer which packs the color's red, green and blue channels using this formula:
      (
       Red       << 16) + (
       Green       << 8) +
       Blue      [note 2]
      An interactive widget is being loaded. If this does not work for you, please reload the page or check if JavaScript is working or enabled.
    • [NBT List / JSON Array] minecraft:dyed_color: An alternative format. A list of 3 floats, ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 (inclusive)[note 3], corresponding to the red, green and blue channels of the color. This format is automatically packed into the integer format by multiplying each float by 255, converting them to unsigned bytes (equivalent to taking the floor and then applying modulo 256), then using the formula -16777216 + (
       Red       << 16) + (
       Green       << 8) +
       Blue       due to the alpha channel being implicitly set to 255, resulting in a negative integer.[note 4].

Notes

  1. ↑ Also known as leather trousers in British English.
  1. ↑ The hexadecimal number is always at least 6 digits (with leading zeroes if needed), with additional digits if the alpha channel is included, despite the alpha channel having no effect on the tint color.
  2. ↑ For positive values larger than 0x00FFFFFF, the most significant byte encodes the alpha channel (opacity), however this is effectively ignored when providing the tint color to the item model, as the tint does not affect opacity.
  3. ↑ Float values outside of this range are accepted, but clamped from 0 to 255 by modulo 256 after being multiplied by 255. For example, -1.0 is equivalent to 0.00392156862 (or 1/255).
  4. ↑ This can result in an item that is not normally obtainable and it affects the hexadecimal code that is shown in the (advanced) tooltip. For example dyed_color=0x000000 shows "#000000" but dyed_color=[0,0,0] shows "#FF000000" despite them both representing the same pure black RGB color.
