How to Craft Leather Pants in Minecraft
Leather Pants come from 7 Leather, worked on a Crafting Table. From the top down: three Leather; then two Leather in the outer columns; then two Leather in the outer columns. Expect 1 Leather Pants from every craft. It holds up for 75 uses before it breaks.
Leather Pants Item ID and Give Command
The item ID for Leather Pants is minecraft:leather_leggings. In commands the namespace may be left off, so leather_leggings works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.
- Give yourself one
/give @p leather_leggings- Give several at once
/give @p leather_leggings 5- Give it to a named player
/give Steve leather_leggings 1
Cheats have to be on for Leather Pants to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.
Repairing Leather Pants
An anvil and Leather will restore Leather Pants long before its 75 uses run out, and nothing enchanted on it is lost in the process.
Two worn ones can also be merged on a grindstone. That is the cheaper route and it asks no levels, but it strips every enchantment off, so it suits a plain Leather Pants rather than one you have invested in.
The cheapest fix of all is Mending, which Leather Pants accepts. Experience you collect goes into the tool rather than your level bar, and it keeps itself topped up.
