Any of you guys ever blow 24 diamonds on a set of diamond armor? Is armor durability based on the material? I assume so but I've never really worn anything but iron.
Not really a waste, diamonds are pretty common.
That said, I don't bother with armour at all. Never needed it.
Yeah, right. I can't find anything better than iron.

I agree. I've gone for most of my game without armor - it just seems useless. The only time I have used it was a test, and that was with leather. It wasn't too great.

So... I was building my HUGE dickbridge across the universe, when I stopped to get some more wood.
To put it simply: yes. Diamond>iron>leather. But as has been said, fall damage and other minor injuries tend to ruin armor fast enough that I wouldn't want to waste diamonds on it. In fact, I always craft a set of iron armor, but I never end up using it because I don't want to mess it up. OCD FTW.
Some people are just unlucky with diamonds. :tongue.gif:
If you got a bunch of diamonds to use on armor, go ahead. If you don't have much, save it for tools & jukeboxes.
Myself, I have thousands of diamond (along with even more iron), so I just use it. It takes a lot of hits to wear diamond armor out. :3

Armor durability is variable. You can see this by looking at how quickly cloth armor is destroyed. Iron armor is necessary for any serious cave exploring... diamond armor isn't really cost effective enough to be worth it, although it is very very good. You have to be careful not to waste durability through falling, or going into lava though.
if i would use them i would make 24 shuvels(3072 uses)

Similar, I've only found about 10-12 diamonds in my save from about a week and a half of play time.
Well yesterday I mined for 3 hours, and found 32 diamonds. But it was in a SMP server, so I couldn't die. (but besides that it was legit)
In single player I am not that lucky :X
wait... I think that diamonds are more common in smp generated maps. no?
I found 8 diamonds my first 2 days of playing... you're just unlucky unfortunately.
