First, gather some wood. You only need to find four logs.
2
After you've gathered your wood, use it to create important tools in order to continue. Take the logs and create one workbench, one wood pick, and eight sticks.
3
Once you've created your tools, immediately start mining in a nearby cave. However, if a cave is not available at the moment, stick with the infamous "dig down" technique. Your top priority is to mine thirteen cobblestone. If you happen to find coal or iron, remember its location for later.
4
Now that stone is in your possession, use it to craft one furnace, one stone sword, and one stone pick.
5
Depending on how experienced you are, this may be the longest step. You need to find three coals and twenty-four iron ores.
6
Upon obtaining the main ingredients, you may create that flashy iron armor you've always wanted.

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft armor with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

Armor is used for protection when battling mobs in Minecraft. A full set of armor includes a helmet/cap, chestplate/tunic, leggings/pants, boots and shield. Armor can be crafted from leather, iron, gold, or diamond.

You can add a splash of color to your leather armor by dying it. You can also add powers to your armor to make enchanted helmets, caps, chestplates, leggings, pants, or boots. Learn how to craft armor.

Here is the list of recipes for crafting armor (regular, dyed, and enchanted) in Minecraft.

Regular Armor

Dyed Armor

Horse Armor

Enchanted Armor

Decide on a type of armor. You can create the following types of armor in Minecraft:[1]

Leather armor - Reduces all damage by 28 percent. It's the weakest armor in Minecraft, but it requires no smelting and no special tools (e.g., pickaxes) to obtain.
Iron armor - Reduces all damage by 60 percent.
Gold armor - Reduces all damage by 44 percent. Since iron is infinitely more plentiful than gold, gold armor is a comparative waste of time and resources.
Diamond armor - Reduces all damage by 80 percent. Requires no smelting. Objectively the best armor in Minecraft, but extremely difficult to create due to diamonds' rareness.

Gather your armor's resources. You will need 24 pieces of your chosen material to create a full set of armor:

Leather - Kill cows to pick up their leather. You may need to kill more or fewer than 24 cows depending on how much leather each drops.
Iron - Mine iron blocks, which resemble grey stone with orange speckles, with a stone pickaxe or better. You will need to mine 24 iron blocks to get 24 iron ore.
Gold - Mine gold blocks, which resemble grey stone with yellow speckles, with an iron pickaxe or better. You will need to mine 24 gold blocks to get 24 gold ore. Gold blocks are typically found deep underground.
Diamond - Mine diamond blocks, which resemble grey stone with light-blue speckles, with an iron or diamond pickaxe. You will need 24 diamond ore. Diamond is very deep underground, and very rare.

Gather the resources to smelt materials. If you're creating iron or gold armor, you will need the following items:

Cobblestone - Mine 8 grey cobblestone. You'll use this for a furnace.
Fuel - Either chop 6 wooden blocks down to create 24 planks, or mine at least 10 coal blocks. Coal is represented by grey blocks with black spots.
If you're crafting leather or diamond armor, skip ahead to crafting your armor.

Open your crafting table. Right-click the crafting table (computer), tap the crafting table (PE), or face the table and press the left trigger (console edition). The crafting table window will open to display a 3 by 3 grid of squares.

If you don't have a crafting table, chop an extra block of wood, use your inventory's crafting space to create four planks, and then create a crafting table with those four planks arranged in a square.

Create a furnace. Place cobblestone in the top three, bottom three, far-left, and far-right squares in the crafting table's grid, then hold ⇧ Shift and click the furnace icon on the right side of the grid to transfer the furnace to your inventory.

In Minecraft PE, tap the furnace icon, which resembles a block of stone with a black hole in it, then tap 1 x.
On the console edition, scroll over to select the crafting table icon, scroll down one, and press A or X.

Place the furnace on the ground. Select the furnace in your equip bar, then right-click the ground. You may first have to move your furnace from your inventory to your equip bar.

In Minecraft PE, tap the space on the ground in which you want to place your furnace.
On the console edition, face the space on the ground and press the left trigger.

Open the furnace. The furnace window has three boxes in it: a top box for ore, a bottom box for fuel, and a far-right box for the final product.

Smelt your iron or gold materials. Click a stack of your crafting material and click the top box, then click a stack of your fuel material and click the bottom box. Wait for all 24 materials to finish smelting, then transfer them to your inventory.

In Minecraft PE, tap the crafting material (e.g., iron ore), then tap the "Fuel" box and tap the fuel stack. Tap the bar in the "Result" box to transfer it to your inventory.
On the console edition, select the crafting material and press Y or triangle, select the fuel and press Y or triangle, then select the smelted product and press Y or triangle.

Exit the furnace. You're now ready to begin crafting your armor.
