Tempered Iron Chestplate
alaindustrial:tempered_iron_chestplate
Summary
Tempered-iron armor is a full four-piece set — helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots. Each piece is tougher than its iron counterpart and is repaired with tempered iron (via the tempered_iron_armor_materials tag). Protection sits a bit above iron and below diamond — a middle ground between the early and late game.
Mini-example: a full set of tempered-iron armor gives noticeably more protection than an iron set, while being crafted from smelted iron (cheaper than diamond gear). A solid intermediate layer before stepping up to diamond/netherite.
Energy
Not applicable (non-powered armor).
How it's used
Equipped into the matching armor slots (helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots). Repaired at an anvil with tempered iron.
Block Properties
Not applicable (items). Stack: 1 each.
Recipes
All four pieces are crafted at a workbench (shaped 3×3) from tempered iron on standard vanilla armor patterns:
- Helmet —
III / I I - Chestplate —
I I / III / III - Leggings —
III / I I / I I - Boots —
I I / I I
I — tempered iron ingot.
Progression
- Item-category armor, no tier of its own.
- Fills the gap between iron and diamond armor: tougher than iron, available earlier than diamond (via tempering iron in an electric furnace / furnace), repairable.
- Acquisition: the main route is crafting from tempered iron. Additionally, set pieces rarely spawn on wild zombies/skeletons as a "trophy" (zombie ~4%, skeleton ~2.5% per full set, ×difficulty multiplier; only empty slots are filled) and can drop from the corpse under vanilla rules (8.5% × Looting). The worn texture renders on the mob automatically. Numbers —
