Since we have been able to trade with villagers, we were lagitametly able to get chain armor in survival mode. But chain armor is still rare to get, and not really worth the trouble, since it doesn't even protect as well as iron. Really the only good thing about chain armor is that it absorbs ALL damage taken, for example, instead of taking .5 armor and .5 hearts, you take 1 armor damage.
I suggest making chain armor able to decrease sword durabilty faster of the opposing player when hit, since the armor is litterally made out of chain and could dull a blade pretty badly. Also changing the appearance, Chain Mail is usually not bulky like other armors because it basically fits over the skin. The model could be changed so the texture looks like it is right over the players skin.
They ought to take away the crafting recipe (fire) and do everything listed here. One thing I'd like to see it to is protect a bit better than iron, and possibly raise the cost of it. Because for something you can only get in one place, it shouldn't be as crappy as it is.

WHAT?!
Danger zone.
That is a myth. It is untrue.
Wait for time
In the break of new dawn
We will never meet
I would have supported if the topic was about making that myth (.5 armor and .5 health -> 1 armor)
but not anymore.
Um no.
The armor order goes like this:
Leather < Gold < Chain < Iron < Diamond
And the crafting recipe (fire) was supposed to be used as a place holder, since fire itself cannot be acquired in survival vanilla gameplay.
