Well technically even though the Rings from the Lord of the Rings series were shaped in the fires of Mordor, the rings could only be destroyed by the very flames that created them.For everyone who is saying chain mail can't be fire resistent, on the minecraft survival guides it says that chain mail armour was created by fire so therefore can be fire resistent.
No, it has nothing to do with my intelligence. It's common sense. I used what I've observed of the properties of chain mail armor both IRL and in Minecraft. Applying the natural physics of fire to something with gaps in it shows that the fire will, in most cases barring unexpected occurrences, try to fill in those openings.Very smart Algerwaterlow
I actually like that idea as long as it's broadened to other enchantments as well and there's a better way of accumulating XP throughout the game so every player has an equal chance of getting the same amount.AlgerWaterlow maybe they can just give enchantment tables a higher likelyhood of giving Fire resistance.

Most things metal were 'created' by fire correct? Forging metals to make swords and armour, is 'created' by fire. If we are thinking logically it doesn't make too much sense for only Chain armour to be fire resistant, if chain gets an upgrade why doesn't leather, or gold?For everyone who is saying chain mail can't be fire resistent, on the minecraft survival guides it says that chain mail armour was created by fire so therefore I can be fire resistent.
We are playing a block game, it doesnt have to be the most "realistic" hahaLet's think about this logically for a second, 'kay? Chainmail has holes in it. This is what gives the steel it's strength. Now I agree that chainmail should technically be more durable than iron in some cases due to the interlocking pattern it has. However, chainmail has HOLES. What does fire do to holes? It goes through them. Its tongues of flame lick them pleasurably. Chainmail has holes. Iron would melt from the heat. Leather would melt even faster and gold would melt fastest of all as it's one of the softest metals. Diamond gear would also be too OP.
