Overview
Leather Tunic is a piece of armor in the Armor category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it, chest loot, and fishing. It cannot be stacked, so each Leather Tunic occupies a full inventory slot on its own. With a base durability of 80 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, Leather Tunic is worth 3 armor points of the 7 a full set of leather armor is worth. With 80 durability, Leather Tunic lasts 80 light hits, or about 27 blows of twelve damage, because a piece loses one point of durability for every four damage in a single hit. The table reads Leather Tunic at 15 enchantability (level with netherite), with gold at 25 above it and chainmail at 12 below. Of the 5 kinds of generated chest that can hold it, village tannery chests are the best bet at about 32% per chest.
