Overview
Leather Pants are pieces of armor in the Armor category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting them, chest loot, and fishing. Leather Pants cannot be stacked, so they take up a full inventory slot each. With a base durability of 75 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, Leather Pants are worth 2 armor points of the 7 a full set of leather armor is worth. With 75 durability, Leather Pants last 75 light hits, or about 25 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 Leather Pants sit at 15 (level with netherite): gold at 25 does better and chainmail at 12 worse. Of the 2 kinds of generated chest that can hold it, village tannery chests are the best bet at about 32% per chest.
