Does Minecraft Java Edition Have Leather Horse Armor

Horse armor [note 1] is a special type of armor that can be given to a horse to wear. Only normal horses can wear armor; donkey, mule and undead variants such as skeleton horses and zombie horses cannot be equipped with armor. Horse armor decreases damage done to horses when hit by melee attack or a ranged attack from the player or another mob. Horse armor does not decrease the fall damage of a horse or its speed when worn.

Crafting [ ]

Ingredients Crafting recipe
Leather

Only leather horse armor can be crafted; other horse armor can be obtained only from chest loot from some generated structures.

Trading [ ]

Expert-level leatherworker villagers sell leather horse armor for 6 emeralds as part of their trade.

Usage [ ]

Types [ ]

There are leather, iron, gold, and diamond horse armor. There are no netherite horse armor or chainmail horse armor in Minecraft.

Armor Stands [ ]

Horse armor cannot be placed or displayed on armor stands.

Protection [ ]

Horse armor can be equipped to horses either by manually placing it in its respective slot by pressing E while riding the horse (), or by right-clicking the horse with it.

There is a gradual increase in the defense given from a horse wearing the different types of armor. Note that golden horse armor provides more protection than iron horse armor, whereas the opposite is true for player armor.

Material Armor
Leather 3 ( 🛡 🛡 )
Iron 5 ( 🛡 🛡 🛡 )
Gold 7 ( 🛡 🛡 🛡 🛡 )
Diamond 11 ( 🛡  × 5.5)

When a horse dies while equipped with any horse armor, it drops its normal loot, saddle (if it had one), and the horse armor.

Durability [ ]

Unlike player armor, horse armor does not have durability. This means a single horse armor can be used infinitely unless destroyed.

Enchanting [ ]

Unlike player armor, horse armor cannot be enchanted in survival mode. However, in Java Edition Creative mode, horse armor can be used with an anvil to enchant with Depth Strider, Thorns, Respiration, Feather Falling, and Curse of vanishing. Other enchantments can be applied, but they have no effect.

Dyeing [ ]

Leather horse armor can be dyed 12,326,391 different colors (using lone dyes or dye combinations) and put onto a horse to display that color. These changes can be reverted by using a filled cauldron with dyed leather horse armor.
