This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft iron horse armor with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, iron horse armor is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game. Most commonly, iron horse armor can be found inside a chest in a dungeon or Nether Fortress.

Let’s explore how to add iron horse armor to your inventory.

Where to find Iron Horse Armor in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find iron horse armor in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform	Version(s)	Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.8 – 1.19	Miscellaneous
Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.19.3 – 1.19.4	Combat

Platform is the platform that applies.

Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).

Creative Menu Location is the location of the item in the Creative Inventory menu.

How to get Iron Horse Armor in Survival Mode

There are 2 ways to get iron horse armor in Survival mode.

1. Find a Chest in a Dungeon

You can add iron horse armor to your inventory in Survival mode by finding a chest in a dungeon. So, let’s get started!

First, you need to find a dungeon that is located underground. Dungeons appear as a small room with a monster spawner in the center and 1 or 2 chests (sometimes a double chest) filled with valuable items. The walls and floor of the dungeon are made of cobblestone and mossy cobblestone.

You can look for a dungeon by digging underground or you can quickly switch to Spectator gamemode and look for a dungeon by flying down underground. Then switch back to Creative or Survival mode once you’ve found the dungeon.

This is what a dungeon looks like in Spectator mode with Night Vision:

Once you’ve found a dungeon, look inside the dungeon for chests. Each chest will contain different items.

When you find a chest in the dungeon, you need to open it to see what is inside.

If you are lucky, you will find iron horse armor and other valuable items.

In this example, we have found iron horse armor, a saddle, a music disc, iron ingot, gunpowder, string, and a bucket.

Make sure you move the iron horse armor to your inventory.

Iron horse armor is very rare and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.

2. Find a Chest in the Nether Fortress

In Minecraft, you can also add iron horse armor to your inventory by going to the Nether and finding a Nether fortress (ie: looks like a castle) that has a chest inside.

A Nether fortress is found in the Nether.

If you haven’t been to the Nether you need to build a nether portal to take you to the Nether. When you walk through a nether portal, it will transport you between the Overworld and the Nether. This is what a nether portal looks like:

Once you’ve found a Nether fortress, look inside the fortress for a chest. There may be many chests hidden within the fortress and each chest will contain different items.

When you find a chest in the Nether fortress, you need to open it to see what is inside.

If you are lucky, you will find iron horse armor and other valuable items.

In this example, we have found iron horse armor and gold ingot. Move the iron horse armor to your inventory.
