Overview
Iron Leggings are pieces of armor in the Armor category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting them, mob drops, trading with villagers, and chest loot. Iron Leggings cannot be stacked, so they take up a full inventory slot each. With a base durability of 225 uses, they can be repaired and enchanted.
When enchanted, it can carry 10 different enchantments, including Protection, Fire Protection, Blast Protection, and Projectile Protection. Worn, Iron Leggings are worth 5 armor points of the 15 a full set of iron armor is worth. With 225 durability, Iron Leggings last 225 light hits, or about 75 blows of twelve damage, because a piece loses one point of durability for every four damage in a single hit. The table reads Iron Leggings at 9 enchantability (level with turtle scute), with armadillo scute at 10 above it and copper at 8 below. Of the 4 kinds of generated chest that can hold it, ancient city chests are the best bet at about 24% per chest.
