How to Make Iron Armor in Minecraft

Last Updated: September 15, 2021

Ever played Minecraft and found yourself too weak/vulnerable to get started? Perhaps you're playing the "Hunger Games" and want a head start? Are you in a pinch and need protection fast? With this quick and simple system, all these problems can be solved.

Steps

1
First, gather some wood. You only need to find four logs.
- Many people make their first mistake on this first step in deciding how much wood they need.
2
After you've gathered your wood, use it to create important tools in order to continue. Take the logs and create one workbench, one wood pick, and eight sticks.
3
Once you've created your tools, immediately start mining in a nearby cave. However, if a cave is not available at the moment, stick with the infamous "dig down" technique. Your top priority is to mine thirteen cobblestone. If you happen to find coal or iron, remember its location for later.
4
Now that stone is in your possession, use it to craft one furnace, one stone sword, and one stone pick.
5
Depending on how experienced you are, this may be the longest step. You need to find three coals and twenty-four iron ores.
6
Upon obtaining the main ingredients, you may create that flashy iron armor you've always wanted.

You cannot get dragon armor in unmodded versions of Minecraft, it does not exist in the game.

Warnings

Swords are highly recommended if you must pvp on your server. The stone sword also fits well with the resources needed - you only need 2 extra stone.

If any resource is left out, you will not be able to craft every item in the step-by-step process.
