While holding chainmail in your offhand it can be placed underneath
other armor pieces as long as they match the same armor slot

Chainmailed armor gains a bonus to armor equal to that of
the chainmail placed underneath and a new attribute called
Impact Resistance!

Layers

Upon breaking, chainmailed armor will reveal the layer beneath it!

Impact Resistance

Chainmail armor now grants Impact Resistance, a new attribute
that negates all non-magic damage received by a flat amount

A full set of Chainmail or Chainmailed armor grants enough
impact resistance to reduce all non-magic damage received by
one full heart

Server lagging with Chainmailed – how to optimize performance?
