All Minecraft Armor: Protection & Durability Stats

Minecraft Armor List

Every armour piece in Minecraft Java and Bedrock Edition, with its armour points, toughness, durability and the material that repairs it on an anvil.

What is the best armor in Minecraft?

Netherite is the best armour in Minecraft. Across the 44 pieces in Java 26.2 and Bedrock 1.26.40, Netherite Horse Armor gives the most armour points (19), and only diamond and netherite gear carries toughness at all — 12 of the 44 rows below. Toughness reduces how much strong hits cut through your armour, which is why netherite survives a hit diamond does not. A dash in the Toughness column means the piece has none, not that the value is unknown.
