Mob loot

Zombies, husks, skeletons, strays, and bogged have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include a copper chestplate. There is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop the chestplate they're wearing upon death. The dropped chestplate is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

Usage

When worn, a copper chestplate provides 4 (🛡🛡) armor points.

Repairing

Two damaged copper chestplates can be combined through crafting or using the grindstone. The durability of the used copper chestplates are added together, plus an extra 5% durability. Both the crafting table and grindstone methods do not keep the enchantments of either chestplate.

A copper chestplate can also be repaired in an anvil by adding copper ingots, with each ingot restoring 25% the copper chestplates' maximum durability, rounded down. Two copper chestplates of the same tier can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods using the anvil preserves a copper chestplate's enchantments.

Armor trimming

It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, a copper chestplate, and an ingot or crystal (iron ingot, copper ingot, gold ingot, netherite ingot, emerald, redstone dust, lapis lazuli, amethyst shard, nether quartz, diamond, or resin brick).

These trims have no effect on the gameplay or strength of the armor.
