How to craft Dyed Leather Pants in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:

2. Add Items to make Dyed Leather Pants

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make dyed leather pants, place 1 leather pants and 1 dye of your choice in the 3x3 crafting grid. In this example, we have chosen to use red dye as the dye.

When making dyed leather pants, the leather pants and dye can be placed anywhere in the crafting grid. In this example, we have placed the items in the second row where the leather pants are in the second box and the red dye is in the third box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for dyed leather pants.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the dyed leather pants will appear in the box to the right.

3. Move the Dyed Leather Pants to Inventory

Once you have crafted dyed leather pants, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made dyed leather pants in Minecraft!

Durability

Durability represents how long the item will last. For tools, weapons and transportation, durability is the number of useful actions before the item is destroyed. For armor items, durability is the number of hits (that can be blocked by armor) before the item is destroyed. So the higher the durability number, the longer the item will last.

The following table shows the durability for each pair of leggings/pants in Minecraft:

Item	Name	Durability
	Netherite Leggings	555
	Diamond Leggings	495
	Chain Leggings	225
	Iron Leggings	225
