Chainmail Leggings in villager trading
Chainmail Leggings is something you buy from villagers rather than sell to them; it does not appear as a raw-material trade, so trading is one of the few survival-friendly ways to stock up on it.
No recipe in Java 26.2 produces it.

Your odds of finding Chainmail Leggings
A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades chainmail leggings is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the armorer (apprentice): 50% of them carry it, so it takes about 2 of them on average before one does.
| Villager | Tier | Villagers with this offer | Rolls to see it | Most from one villager | After a cure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Armorer | Apprentice | 50% (2 in 4)Bedrock 33% (1 in 3) | about 2 | 24 chainmail leggings a day2 restocks a day | 1 emeraldwas 3, 2 off |
The chance is the draw size over the pool size in the game's own trade set file for that tier. The Bedrock line under it is the same sum on Bedrock's own table, which splits a tier into groups and draws out of each one separately, so the two editions often disagree. The day figure is the trade's use limit times the 2 restocks a villager is allowed per in-game day (Villager.allowedToRestock), so it is a ceiling and not an average: it assumes you are there for every restock. The cure column is 125 reputation times the trade's own multiplier, floored, and never takes a cost below one. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.

|---|---|---|---|
| 12 lava buckets | journeyman Armorer | 12 | 4 chainmail leggings |
| 48 melons | journeyman Farmer | 12 | 4 chainmail leggings |

How Chainmail Leggings trading works
Every chainmail leggings offer here locks after 12 uses, and a villager restocks up to twice per Minecraft day, so one is good for 24 of these trades a day and no more.
The earliest chainmail leggings shows up is the Armorer's Apprentice tier, level 2 of five, which a villager reaches at 10 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 1 tier short of offering chainmail leggings at all.
How long Chainmail Leggings takes in real time
12 chainmail leggings empty one slot at the Armorer, 2400 ticks (Villager.allowedToRestock) at 20 a second (TickRateManager) refill it 2 real minutes later, and the 24000-tick villager day (Timelines) holds 2 of those fills in 20 real minutes.
So one armorer moves 24 chainmail leggings against 72 emeralds a Minecraft day, chainmail leggings every 50 real seconds, 3.6 emeralds a real minute. 27 chainmail leggings take 3 fills across 2 Minecraft days, 2 minutes of it watching the armorer walk back to its blast furnace.
