My suggestion is this

o = Blank
I = Iron Ingot

oIo
IoI
oIo

This creates 4 chains which can be formed into chain armor




Thank you for reading!

Perfect idea.

Chain armor is weaker than iron armor. :l

I aprove of chain mail armor, but this would not work. If 4 iron = 4 rings, then chain mail would have to have the the same stats, making it redundant. So 4 iron = 1 ring would be much better.

In any case, this has been already suggested.

But more flexible. So maybe you are slower with heaver armor, but chain mail is light?

I disagree with this suggestion.

Give us a reason why you disagree -.-

Your suggestion is turning 4 iron ingots into 4 chainlinks to be use to make armor.

It uses the exact same amount of materials so we can assume that your chainmail idea is roughly as good as iron armor. You didn't specify what chainmail armor would do so we can assume that the two armors are exactly the same.
This means that your idea is relatively pointless.

Please tell me if what I am saying can't be assumed.

That could work...

You don't get the point here, Chainmail is weaker than iron, but it ways less (It allows you to swim better)

You should put that in your original post then.

I think the simplest solution to making the cost worth it is to make 1 iron ingot produce 4 chain links, which can then be crafted into chain mail. Chain mail would be cheaper and weaker than iron armor (but stronger than leather) and fill the gap between leather and iron quite nicely.

i want stone armor but we all know thats way to heavy to use and i want something to fill between leather and iron so i approve of chain mail.

aproove, but think instead of geting four rings you should get more or it would be usless

NOTCH ADD THIS!!

Chain armor is even uglier then the normal armors! Seriously have you ever put this stuff on and looked at yourself? For chain armor to look right the way Minecraft handles armor would need to change. I agree it should be added but it would definitely need a new graphic first. There are a lot of skins out there that do a good job simulating chain mail but for it to look right it would have to be applied over the players texture and NOT on a separate armor layer



= 8 rings

Would probably be the best. Or perhaps a way that you craft wire then either directly to the armor or into rings.



= ?amount Wire

not every thing in minecraft has to be styleish and it's chain armor in real life it's ugly

we have iron armor though, why chainmail as well? They are both made of iron.
also shouldnt chain be


like sticks?
