back during beta, a lot of servers would have their moderators and admins wear chainmail armor to show that they were actually staff. because back then we had no native player list.

A friend of mine actually had an interesting idea where chainmail armor would vanish with you if you took an invisibility potion. Minecraft has already done things to give weaker armor some utility (gold armor to keep piglins away, and leather boots to walk on powdered snow). It'd be cool if they gave chainmail some innate magical property that lets it vanish with you when you're invisible.

I remember when I was really young, I thought chainmail was better than diamond because I could never find it.

“Chain mail armor could actually be crafted!”
Man I feel old, it looks like it’s supposed to be a surprise but I already knew this from playing for 8 years

As someone who's played MC for around 10 years, it's insane to think that there are people that never knew Chainmail had a recipe. Makes me feel old honestly lmao

Honestly I like the idea of Chainmail as a status symbol, something that is crazy hard to get but if you have sets of it on armor stands it shows your dedication.

Wearing a full set of enchanted chainmail is the ULTIMATE flex.

Imagine if chainmail would've been stacked under your current armor, boosting armor rating, but not durability

I’ve always liked Chainmail since it is an armor that actually lets you see your skin.
It has always bothered me that most of your skin is covered 95% of the time when you are playing Minecraft and I wish we’d see more armors that don’t cover up too much

Now imagine wearing chainmail armor UNDER your regular armor. Like it was used functionally in medival times. Now that would be something.

That chainmail armor was craftable with fire is a memory I haven't remembered in a decade. That just blew my mind.

I think it needs an official re- introduction to the game. Adding it as the in between for leather and iron armor would be the best placement for it, and the crafting recipe for it should just be iron nuggets in the shape of the armor piece you want. This way its less expensive than iron armor, looks good, and is most importantly OBTAINABLE.

Minecraft: adds chains
Players: oh so we can craft chainmail armor now?
Minecraft: no

it'd be neat if chainmail could give you resistance to swords and sweeping edge attacks, since that's what it's good for irl too

Oh my God, that inventory editor just tossed me into a full nostalgiq trip. Me and my buddies watching hours of Rendog play Tekkit, and then going to make our own tekkit survival island. Tekkit's UI looked identical to that back in the day
