Why can't I craft chainmail armor?

You can't craft chainmail armor in vanilla Minecraft because its original recipe used "fire," an unobtainable item, and the developers never added a new, legitimate recipe, even after adding the "chains" item, because it would be weaker than iron but require more resources, making it largely useless except as a novelty. You can only get it as rare drops from zombies and skeletons, found in chests, or through trading.

What is the rarest armor in Minecraft?

The rarest armor in Minecraft isn't a single item but depends on the criteria, with Netherite armor featuring the Silence Armor Trim being a top contender due to the trim's extreme rarity (1.2% chance in Ancient Cities). Other contenders include rare mob drops like 0-durability diamond armor from armored mobs, or historically, wool armor from early Alpha versions, while enchanted, fully customized Netherite with multiple rare trims is considered the ultimate rare set.

Can chainmail armor stop a bullet?

No, traditional chainmail cannot stop a modern bullet; bullets easily pass through the gaps or break the rings, causing fragmentation and potentially more injury, as chainmail is designed for slashes, not high-velocity piercing impacts. While heavy mail might stop very weak projectiles or low-velocity slugs, modern firearms easily defeat it, and specialized hardened steel or composite body armor is needed for bullet protection.

Are you immune to lava with netherite?

No, netherite armor itself doesn't grant full lava immunity, but it makes you highly resistant; you won't burn in lava, but you'll still take damage and drown, while netherite items (like dropped ingots) float and don't burn, and for true immunity, you need a Potion of Fire Resistance. Wearing full netherite armor with high protection enchantments lets you swim in lava with minimal damage and no durability loss to the armor, but you still need food and can drown, so a fire resistance potion is best for full survival.

What is the rarest type of armor in Minecraft?

The rarest armor in Minecraft isn't one simple item but a combination of near-impossible conditions, often involving Netherite armor with the Silence Armor Trim, max enchantments (including Protection V), and the Curse of Vanishing on a piece, found in Ancient Cities, making it extremely difficult to acquire and impossible to lose upon death, though some consider a zero-durability Diamond Helmet from rare mob drops to be even rarer. The rarity comes from the combination of the extremely low chance of finding Silence trims in Deep Dark chests, the difficulty of maxing enchantments, and the technicality of the Curse of Vanishing.
