The Golden Chestplate is a piece of armor worn in the chest slot. Players craft it from gold ingots. It does not stack, and it has 112 points of durability, so it wears out fairly quickly with use.
Players can enchant the chestplate to improve it. It also serves as an ingredient in two other recipes, which gives it a use beyond being worn.
