How to Put Armor on a Horse in Minecraft

Last updated
Ever wondered how to dress up your horse in Minecraft with some shiny armor? Well, you’re in luck! We’re here to guide you through the process, making your horse the envy of every creeper and skeleton out there.
Putting armor on a horse in Minecraft isn’t just about making them look cool; it’s also about protecting your loyal steed from dangers. Here’s how to do it!
Quick and Easy Steps to Equip Your Horse with Armor
First things first, you need to find horse armor, which can be a bit of a treasure hunt. You can snag some by looting dungeons, temples, or fortresses. Minecraft offers armor in three materials: iron, gold, and diamond – with diamond providing the most protection.
Once you’ve got the armor, approach your horse and right-click on it (or use the ‘Mount’ button on mobile devices) to hop on. Now, open your inventory. You’ll see a slot next to the horse’s picture – this is where the armor goes. Simply drag the armor from your inventory to this slot, and voilà, your horse is now armored!
