Diamond Leggings in Minecraft: Crafting and Upgrading
Quick answer: Use minecraft:diamond_leggings in modern Java commands. Craft diamond leggings from 7 diamonds for 6 armor points and 2 armor toughness, then upgrade them to netherite at a smithing table to keep your enchantments.
The middle child of diamond armor
Diamond leggings cost 7 diamonds and give 6 armor points plus 2 toughness — second only to the chestplate in protection per piece. A full diamond set totals 20 armor points and 8 toughness, which is the classic pre-netherite endgame armor.
Craft them on a crafting table with the standard leggings pattern: diamonds in every slot except the middle of the bottom row. Enchant on the table or with books — Protection IV, Unbreaking III, and Mending are the default trio, and Swift Sneak III goes on leggings specifically.
Recipe: 7 diamonds, leggings pattern.
Stats: 6 armor points + 2 toughness.
Leggings-exclusive enchant: Swift Sneak (ancient city chests).
Upgrading to netherite without losing enchantments
Do not craft netherite leggings from scratch — upgrade. At a smithing table, combine diamond leggings with a netherite upgrade smithing template (duplicated from bastion loot) and one netherite ingot. The result keeps every enchantment and the item's name.
Netherite leggings add one more armor point, more toughness, and knockback resistance, and the item survives lava. The same upgrade path applies to every diamond armor piece and tool.
