A chainmail chestplate[a] is an uncommon variant of chestplate that cannot be crafted, and is only obtainable through other means such as trading. It is the fourth-highest tier of chestplate, having the same armor points as a golden chestplate but with higher durability.
Zombies, husks, skeletons, strays, and bogged have a small chance to spawn wearing armor. There is a 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. The dropped chestplate is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.
In Bedrock Edition, naturally spawned armor worn by a zombie has a 100% drop rate when a zombie is drowned.

When worn, a chainmail chestplate provides 5 (π π‘
π π‘
π π‘
) armor points.
Two damaged chainmail chestplates can be combined through crafting or using the grindstone. The durability of the used chainmail chestplates are added together, plus an extra 5% durability. Both the crafting table and grindstone methods do not keep the enchantments of either chestplate.
A chainmail chestplate can also be repaired in an anvil by adding iron ingots, with each ingot 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:

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.
