Crafting Copper, Quartz, and Prismarine Armor Sets

Copper Armor

Copper armor is a straightforward mid-tier set. Smelt copper ore into copper ingots, then arrange them in the four standard armor patterns.

• Copper Helmet: three copper ingots on top, one in the center.
• Copper Chestplate: eight copper ingots around the empty top-center slot.
• Copper Leggings: seven copper ingots in the leggings shape.
• Copper Boots: four copper ingots in the boots shape.

Quartz and Prismarine Armor

Quartz armor uses Nether quartz, so you need Nether access. Mine quartz ore in the Nether and craft the pieces with the same four patterns.

• Quartz Helmet: three Nether quartz on top, one in the center.
• Quartz Chestplate: eight Nether quartz around the empty top-center slot.
• Quartz Leggings: seven Nether quartz in the leggings shape.
• Quartz Boots: four Nether quartz in the boots shape.

Prismarine armor uses prismarine shards, obtained by mining prismarine or defeating guardians. The recipes follow the identical layout.

• Prismarine Helmet: three prismarine shards on top, one in the center.
• Prismarine Chestplate: eight prismarine shards around the empty top-center slot.
• Prismarine Leggings: seven prismarine shards in the leggings shape.
• Prismarine Boots: four prismarine shards in the boots shape.

All three sets share the same grid, so once you know one pattern you can craft any of them.
