How to Craft Diamond Leggings in Minecraft
You need 7 Diamonds, plus a Crafting Table to assemble them on. The top row is three Diamonds, the middle row two Diamonds down either side, and the bottom row two Diamonds down either side. That comes out as 1 Diamond Leggings. Durability is 495, and that is how many uses one gets you.
Diamond Leggings Item ID and Give Command
The item ID for Diamond Leggings is minecraft:diamond_leggings. In commands the namespace may be left off, so diamond_leggings works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.
- Give yourself one
/give @p diamond_leggings- Give several at once
/give @p diamond_leggings 5- Give it to a named player
/give Steve diamond_leggings 1
Cheats have to be on for Diamond Leggings to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.
Repairing Diamond Leggings
Those 495 uses are not the end of the road. Feed Diamond Leggings back onto an anvil with Diamond and it comes back up with its enchantments intact.
The grindstone does the same merge for free, at a price: it takes the enchantments with it. Fine for a plain Diamond Leggings, wasteful for one you have put levels into.
Mending can go on Diamond Leggings, and that is the only repair that costs nothing at all: the experience you pick up flows into the item instead of into your own level, so it never sees an anvil again.
