Armor materials

== Materials ==
There are currently seven armor materials in the game: leather, chainmail, iron, gold, diamond, netherite, and turtle. The armor material of an item determines its durability multiplier, armor values, enchantability, sound events, toughness, knockback resistance, and repair items.
