Studded armor refers to four armor item textures which were found in the initial versions of items.png, alongside the leather armor, chain armor and plate (iron) armor sets.

All pieces of studded armor were obtained in the player's inventory upon creating a new world, like other items that existed in the same versions. It was not possible to obtain additional studded armor from the environment or craft them from other items.

Studded armor had no function other than existing as items in the inventory for testing purposes. Like other armors it could not yet be equipped.

First appearing in the second December 31, 2009 build, the sprites technically did see use in-game, but this is of little significance as all sprites on items.png were used at the time, with basically no functionality. These textures were taken directly from one of Notch's games Legend of the Chambered 2, in which they are named studded helmets, shirts, pants and boots.

The textures were ultimately removed some time between the 4th and 6th of February, 2010 in preparation for the actual implementation of armor and its mechanics.
