Plate Armor
Infobox Issue
This page's infobox needs fixing.
Plate Armor is a type of Armor that is created with Soulforged Steel ingots.
Like Refined Tools, it is very good for enchanting, since it can have a maximum of 4 enchantments, and can combine enchantments that are otherwise impossible to get together (like Protection and Blast Protection for example).
Plate Armor is significantly heavier than other types of armor, causing greater drains of hunger over time. However, the Plate Helm is the only piece of armor that accepts the enchantment Respiration V from the Infernal Enchanter, which allows for almost unlimited water breathing, making it ideal diving equipment. In addition, squids cannot damage the player if the player is wearing the Plate Helm.
A full set of Plate Armor is necessary to walk within range of a Block of Dung based Beacon without taking damage. Plate Boots are needed to walk on mature Nether Groth, and a Plate Helm is necessary to break mature Groth without being poisoned.
Plate Armor can be melted down in the Crucible to return all of original Soulforged Steel, including those used to make the Steel Armor Plates, though the component Padding and Straps will need to be replaced at each reforging.
As of CE 3.0, 10% knockback resistance per piece of armor has been added.
Crafting
The plate armor takes 32 Soulforged Steel ingots and 12 Steel Armor Plates to craft the entire set.

Keep in Mind
- A Soulforge is required to work with Soulforged Steel.
- Plate armor can be melted back down into Soulforged Steel, so it's a good idea to not let it break.
- Due to the weight of Soulforge Steel Armor, actions made while wearing it make the hunger bar go down faster.
- Because of the armor's weight, you also can't swim while wearing it.
- As of 3.80, plate armor can be enchanted only by using an Infernal Enchanter.
