How to get Diamond Horse Armor in Survival Mode
There are 2 ways to add diamond horse armor to your inventory in Survival mode.
1. Find a Chest in a Dungeon
You can add diamond horse armor to your inventory in Survival mode by finding a chest in a dungeon. So, let’s get started!
First, you need to find a dungeon that is located underground. Dungeons appear as a small room with a monster spawner in the center and 1 or 2 chests (sometimes a double chest) filled with valuable items. The walls and floor of the dungeon are made of cobblestone and mossy cobblestone.
You can look for a dungeon by digging underground or you can quickly switch to Spectator gamemode and look for a dungeon by flying down underground. Then switch back to Creative or Survival mode once you’ve found the dungeon.
This is what a dungeon looks like in Spectator mode with Night Vision:
Once you’ve found a dungeon, look inside the dungeon for chests. Each chest will contain different items.
When you find a chest in the dungeon, you need to open it to see what is inside.
If you are lucky, you will find diamond horse armor and other valuable items.
In this example, we have found diamond horse armor, a saddle, a music disc, iron ingot, gunpowder, string, and a bucket.
Make sure you move the diamond horse armor to your inventory.
Diamond horse armor is very rare and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
2. Find a Chest in the Nether Fortress
You can also add diamond horse armor to your inventory in Survival mode by going to the Nether and finding a Nether fortress (ie: looks like a castle) that has a chest inside.
A Nether fortress is found in the Nether.
If you haven’t been to the Nether you need to build a nether portal to take you to the Nether. When you walk through a nether portal, it will transport you between the Overworld and the Nether. This is what a nether portal looks like:
Once you’ve found a Nether fortress, look inside the fortress for a chest. There may be many chests hidden within the fortress and each chest will contain different items.
When you find a chest in the Nether fortress, you need to open it to see what is inside.
If you are lucky, you will find diamond horse armor and other valuable items.
In this example, we have found diamond horse armor and gold ingot. Move the diamond horse armor to your inventory.
