Armor materials

Armor materials refer to the material that an armor item uses.

There are currently nine armor materials in the game: leather, copper, chainmail, iron, gold, diamond, netherite, turtle, and armadillo scute. The armor material of an item determines its durability multiplier, armor values, enchantability, sound events, toughness, knockback resistance, repair items, and equipament asset.

Armor materials are used to define certain properties of armor items. Which properties are defined by the materials depends of the mobs that use this armor. Only the humanoid armor has a variable slot; all other armors are only defined by the slot body.
