The armor from weakest to strongest in the game are leather, gold, chain, iron, and diamond. Crafting chain requires fire, which is can be obtained through mods or trading with villagers. To make armor, refer to the pictures below. To equip armor, open up the inventory and the armor slots will be next to the crafting section. Place the armor accordingly.
