Iron Leggings item in Minecraft

Present since 1.0 or earlier Stack size: 1

The Iron Leggings take seven iron ingots; they give 5 armor points and last 225 hits. Worn on the legs, this piece is the second most protective part of a set and the only one that takes Swift Sneak.

It is made with the Crafting Table from 7 × Iron Ingot.

What it does

Leggings go in the legs slot between the chestplate and the boots. Besides Protection and its variants, Thorns, Unbreaking and Mending, they are the only armor that takes Swift Sneak, which lets you move much faster while sneaking, a favorite for exploring ancient cities without waking the warden.

Their recipe uses seven units of the material in an upside-down U shape. An armor trim template on a smithing table adds a pattern in the color of the chosen material.

Leggings wear down as you take damage and can be repaired on an anvil with their material or combined with another pair.
