A diamond chestplate is a variant of chestplate crafted from diamonds. It is the second-highest tier of chestplate, having higher armor points, armor toughness, durability, and enchantability than an iron chestplate. It can be upgraded into a netherite chestplate using a netherite ingot and netherite upgrade at a smithing table.

Mob loot

Zombies, husks, zombie villagers‌^{[Java Edition only]}, skeletons, strays, bogged, and parched have an extremely small chance to spawn wearing diamond armor, which may include a diamond chestplate. There is an 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop the chestplate they're wearing upon death unless they are spawned from an ominous trial spawner in Java Edition. The dropped chestplate is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

Repairing

Combining

Two damaged diamond chestplates can be combined through crafting or using the grindstone. The durability of the used diamond chestplates are added together, plus an extra 5% durability. Both the crafting table and grindstone methods do not keep the enchantments of either chestplate.

Ingredients	Crafting recipe	Notes
Damaged Diamond Chestplate		The durability of the two chestplates is added together, plus an extra 5% durability.

Ingredients	Grinding recipe	Notes
2x Damaged Diamond Chestplate		The durability of the two chestplates is added together, plus an extra 5% durability.

Unit repair

Ingredients	Anvil recipe
Damaged Diamond Chestplate + Diamond	Diamond Chestplate

A diamond chestplate can also be repaired in an anvil by adding diamonds, with each one restoring 25% the chestplates' maximum durability, rounded down. Two chestplates of the same tier can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods using the anvil preserves the chestplate's enchantments.

A chestplate can receive the following enchantments:

Name	Description	Max level	Method	Weight

Curse of Vanishing	The chestplate vanishes on death, not dropping as an item.	I	Anvil	1
Curse of Binding	Removes the ability to de-equip the chestplate.	I	Anvil	1

Armor trimming

It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, a chestplate, and an ingot or crystal (iron ingot, copper ingot, gold ingot, netherite ingot, emerald, redstone dust, lapis lazuli, amethyst shard, nether quartz, diamond, or resin brick).

These trims have no effect on the gameplay or strength of the armor.
