Hello and welcome this is eagle-eye 621 and today we are in my armor testing world to talk about the best type of armor and the best enchantments you can get while playing survival minecraft now you can check the timestamps in the description below as we’ll be talking About the different types of armor the best enchantments and then even doing some demonstrations let’s start out by the different types of armor so you have five different types of armor you can get the leather gold chainmail iron and boots if you’re playing the Java you can Only get this as a drop you can’t craft it but you can get it you can also make a turtle shell these are in order from the weakest to the strongest with the leather being the weakest then the gold chainmail iron and diamonds and this turtle shell is roughly equivalent to The diamond helmet but it does lack the toughness you can see when I cursor over the diamond armor there is a toughness bonus which none of the other armor has and there is your instantaneous answer diamond armor is the best armor that you can get these three over here are not Even worth really crafting if you want to get the iron armor to start off with but as soon as you have enough diamonds that’s what you want to start wearing now the leather armor can be dyed so if you want to make some sort of a scene in Your world to put these on an armor stand that can be fairly helpful and you can see this effect if we put it on so let’s switch over to survival mode and you can see right over here that we have a couple of chest plates with different Levels filled not a lot of levels we get a couple more for the gold but still not a lot I’m just gonna skip over that because you can see as well getting closer but in order to get your maximum you need to go with diamonds and now it’s completely filled up so again Get the iron when you start your world and then go for the diamonds now let’s talk about the different types of enchantments that we can get now this will come down really to your choices between what you can’t put on your armor so in terms of protection you now have To pick one in Java one point fourteen point one and point two you could make so called god armor and actually put all of the different protections on your armor but now you can only pick one of these and just as a side note you also need to pick between your frost Walker And your depth Strider on your boots this is a little bit of a personal preference but I prefer depth Strider over the frost Walker so the question is how do these compute towards protection and I’m not going to get super heavy into the math but it is important to Know these give you essentially protection points so protection for will give you for protection points to all of the different types of damage that being the blast the projectile and the fire you can get up to a maximum of twenty protection points before they stop helping at all the individual Protections will double whatever the number is so these blast protection 4 will give you eight points of protection against explosions against blasts but they won’t give you any protection against projectiles or against fire and of course the same is true for this so the fire protection gives you Eight against fire but none against these two so if you’re talking about what the best kind of army you can have as I said the guard armor you can’t have but just by way of doing a little bit of the math and I won’t get into too much Like I said but this armor over here as you may note has protection for on each of the pieces and then three of them also have the individual protection so this one has projectile protection for this one has the blast four and this one has the fire four and by doing a little Bit of the math if we even skip one of these if we have three protection fours that’s three times four gives you twelve plus the fire protection for gives you eight that means in this set of armor you actually have 20 fire protection and the same is for the blasts and for the Projectile so even though this looks a lot flash here this actually gives you the same effect so it is important to know that you can get the same effect in some of your setups but it’s at a trade-off so when you ask what is the Best I will tell you the best is the protection on all of this armor and that’s because you get sixteen protection points towards everything if you’re to do something like split it up and have a blast protection on your legs but then a fire protection on your helmet you’ve actually not done anything Because the fire protection gives you eight for fire and the blast protection gives you eight for blast but if you just had the protection for on both of them you would have the same eight for the blast eight for the fire but also have eight for the projectile so unless You’re going to specifically pick one type of damage to protect yourself against then it’s better to just have all of them on protection so now let’s go and do little bit of a demonstration so for the demonstration I have some fire and then I have some explosions and to get things started Lava is a bad time if of course you’re in survival and right now I’m still wearing some armor so let’s take off his armor and jump back in and you don’t last very long of course so now let’s see what happens if you put on well let’s just actually jump back in the Pool so you can see exactly what it is with no armor and this is all real time there’s no editing there’s no cutscenes so you can see exactly how long the player does last unprotected so now if we head over and grab some armor so let’s just grab not Enchanted but diamond armor and jump in not as bad you’re still dying and you’re dying relatively quickly and love of course it’s hard to move in but if you’re near the edge of a lava pool you may be able to escape but now let’s see what happens if we can add some Additional enchantments to that and now we’re just going with the regular protection for for each of these armor pieces and you can see that actually lava is not as bad as a lot of people are concerned about you don’t have much time but even if you land in a distant place Usually in the nether if you have some ender pearls on your hotbar you have a respectable amount of time to try and survive before you of course eventually die now if you’re concerned specifically about landing in the lava and that’s just dispose of those you can get this is for Blast fire protection so in this we have one two fire protection fours to give us 16 plus another regular protection for maxes out our fire protection potential at the cost of not having anything else for the other types of damage but you’ll see that now we actually don’t have to Worry about the lava when you have maxed out your protection you can actually regenerate faster than the lava will hurt you so until you run out of food you can just relax have a good time a little bit of a hot tub action right here no problem and you’ll see I will Get hungry in time to be able to eat in time to regen and this is essentially as long as you feel like being in the lava you can just hang out here and just to prove the comparison if we take our super special god armor you will notice that it’s the same so The reason that the god armor is special is not because it gives you any additional protection that you couldn’t get normally but because it gives you all of the different protections which you can’t have normally so unfortunately now you do have to decide what you want between a general all-around protection Or maxing out any one particular damage type while leaving yourself more vulnerable to the others and you otherwise would now I will note that there is a little bit of an easter egg in the game where certain skeleton horses that you pop up from lightning strikes can drop with multiple Protections on them so it is possible to end up with five protection fours because the helmets they drop can have two protection force on them which do stack but as a practical matter unless you’re willing to set up a lightning farm it’s not anything you’re gonna come across while you normally play let’s Just jump in the water because the fire is knowing so the regular I have some extra setups over here so what you’re looking at as your best armor to have well you normally play is this its protection for on everything but if you are very nervous about one thing in Particular then you can slap on one of these specific fire protection or blast protection or projectile protection and then when you have the three normal protections that gives you the twelve and the one special will max you out to that twenty now that does come at the Sacrifice of being able to have in this setup sixteen for example the blast but if you swap out for wannabe you still have twelve for the blast and then twenty for the fire but again if you mix and match but you have one of these blasts and one of these fire protections They just cancel each other out and in fact you lose out on the third type so why don’t we do some explosive testing now because that’s usually a good time to so let’s start with a little bit of TNT and some flint and steel and let’s Take all the armor off and just throw back in here and I don’t think it’ll come as any surprise that this will give you a pretty bad day so what happens if we try and add some armor to that and let’s start out by just adding our regular unenchanted armor and this also May not come as much of a surprise still a bad day but let’s see what happens if we try and add a little bit of enchantment protection on this so let’s just move these out of the way it’s not what I meant to do so we don’t confuse Them with our next set and that is just our general best type of armor that you’re gonna want to make which is the protection for on everything and now not as bad of a day let’s get a couple of potions here to speed this along and you will notice a similar effect With regard to creepers which have a similar explosion to the TNT so not a bad day wrong chest again not that bad of a day now you can do even better than this of course and let’s remove these if we max out our blast protection and Again this does come at the sacrifice of other protections but this gives us 20 of the blast protection points so see some TNT first not nearly as bad as before and then of course let’s say it a creeper again not that bad but more impressive than that is an end crystal So let’s slap an end crystal down and this is something you should not do in your world unless you have maxed out protection punch an end crystal totally survivable when you max out your blast protection but again the downside of maxing out one protection is that you Don’t help the others and you’ll see that because I do have a little bit of regular protection but this will be closer to what you saw without any of the special protection again a little bit better because we have a little bit of the general but not as good as when You had all of your general protections now just because this is my armor testing world there’s only one proper way to end this video and that is strapping on some God armor and seeing what little friend we have in here charge creeper right to the face totally survivable if you found this Video helpful I would appreciate a like and for
