Overview
Wolf Armor is a piece of armor in the Armor category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it and natural world generation. It cannot be stacked, so each Wolf Armor occupies a full inventory slot on its own.
Buckled onto a tamed wolf, Wolf Armor is worth 11 armor points. With 64 durability, Wolf Armor lasts 64 light hits, or about 21 blows of twelve damage, because a piece loses one point of durability for every four damage in a single hit. At the enchanting table Wolf Armor takes an enchantability of 10 (level with diamond): chainmail at 12 does better and iron at 9 worse.
