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 the way tools and other damageable items do. With a base durability of 112 uses, it can be repaired and enchanted to extend its working life before it breaks. This item was added to the game in the 1.0 full release.
In this database, Golden Chestplate sits alongside 42 other Armor entries, each with its own page. As armor it absorbs incoming damage and slowly wears down, drawing on its 112 durability points; a full matching set stacks protection across the helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots slots. Gold gear mines and attacks quickly and enchants exceptionally well, but its very low durability means it wears out fast compared with sturdier materials. When enchanted, it can carry 9 different enchantments, including Protection, Fire Protection, Blast Protection, and Projectile Protection, which together can dramatically change how it performs.
