Overview
Chainmail Boots are pieces of armor in the Armor category of Minecraft, obtained through mob drops, trading with villagers, and chest loot. Chainmail Boots cannot be stacked, so they take up a full inventory slot each. With a base durability of 195 uses, they can be repaired and enchanted.
When enchanted, it can carry 13 different enchantments, including Protection, Fire Protection, Blast Protection, and Projectile Protection. Worn, Chainmail Boots are worth 1 armor point of the 12 a full set of chainmail armor is worth. With 195 durability, Chainmail Boots last 195 light hits, or about 65 blows of twelve damage, because a piece loses one point of durability for every four damage in a single hit. Enchantability decides what the table hands back for the same levels, and Chainmail Boots sit at 12: netherite at 15 does better and diamond at 10 worse.
