Chestplate

A chestplate (the leather variety being known as a tunic) is a piece of armor worn on the upper body of the player. There are seven tiers of chestplate: leather, copper, golden, chainmail, iron, diamond, and netherite.

Chestplates can be placed in the chest slot of a player's inventory for activation.

Each armor point reduces damage by 4% (increasing additively). Armor points are signified by half a shirt on the armor bar above the health bar. The effectiveness of armor points is decreased as the strength of incoming attacks increase, an effect lessened by armor toughness. Armor toughness does not have a visual indicator bar. Chestplate durability is decreased by 1 for every 4HP of incoming damage (rounded down, but never below 1). Different chestplate types have different enchantability from one another, a value that affects the strength of enchantments received directly though enchanting tables. Netherite chestplates provide a knockback resistance of 1 (10%).
