How to Craft Netherite Leggings in Minecraft

Netherite Leggings in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own item texture. Best leg protection: 6 armor, 3 toughness, 1 knockback resistance. Minecraft has used the name Netherite Leggings since 1.16.

The recipe wants 1 Netherite Upgrade Template, 1 Netherite Ingot, and 1 Diamond Leggings, and a Smithing Table to run it on. A single craft gives you 1 Netherite Leggings. Count on 555 uses out of each one before it wears through.

Netherite Leggings Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Netherite Leggings is minecraft:netherite_leggings. In commands the namespace may be left off, so netherite_leggings works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p netherite_leggings
Give several at once
/give @p netherite_leggings 5
Give it to a named player
/give Steve netherite_leggings 1

Cheats have to be on for Netherite Leggings to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.

Repairing Netherite Leggings

When Netherite Leggings nears the end of its 555 uses, Netherite Ingot on an anvil is the ordinary fix, enchantments and all.

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 Netherite Leggings rather than one you have invested in.

Netherite Leggings takes Mending, and once it does you can stop thinking about repairs: every orb you pick up goes into the item.

Overview

Netherite Leggings provide 6 armor points, 3 toughness and 1 knockback resistance with 555 durability. Netherite Leggings is made at a Smithing Table by combining a template, a base item, and an upgrade material.
