Overview
Golden Chestplate is a piece of armor in the Armor category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it and chest loot. It cannot be stacked, so each Golden Chestplate occupies a full inventory slot on its own. With a base durability of 112 uses, it can be repaired and enchanted.
When enchanted, it can carry 9 different enchantments, including Protection, Fire Protection, Blast Protection, and Projectile Protection. Worn, Golden Chestplate is worth 5 armor points of the 11 a full set of gold armor is worth. With 112 durability, Golden Chestplate lasts 112 light hits, or about 37 blows of twelve damage, because a piece loses one point of durability for every four damage in a single hit. The table reads Golden Chestplate at 25 enchantability, with leather at 15 as the next one down. Of the 4 kinds of generated chest that can hold it, ruined portal chests are the best bet at about 21% per chest.
