WHICH IS BETTER GOLD OR CHAIN ARMOR
As we all know gold armour has the same armour points as chain however
which is better? in my personal experice i like gold better but only because
it looks better.What do you think?

I think chain is about the same a gold. My question is why make chain so hard to craft when it sucks?

Yeah I think that Gold looks better but I think Chain is better in that lasts longer according to the minecraft wiki..

Chain Armor is stronger than Gold Armor. Even though Chain Armor looks weak, it's stronger than Gold Armor.

Chain is better because it lasts longer

chain armor lasts longer gold armor was good until sky fanboys came along *sigh*

Depends how you look at it. I think Gold has more defence, but Chain lasts longer.

Chain armor looks nice and it has more hitpoints, but the only issue with it is obtaining it.

Chain is actually better then gold, but I like iron more then either, due to it being WAY stronger then gold and its extremely useful. But obviously diamond trumps all

Is it really that hard to look it up on the wiki?

Chain has more durability but gold is more enchantable.

Chain lasts longer. In my opinion anything that lasts longer is the better option in the long run if you are looking at it from an economic standpoint.

well really iron leather and diamond are the ones you want not gold are chain.Chain takes to long gold is a waste.Iron is good and lasts long diamond lasts really long and is pretty darn good and leather is weak but still lasts better.So there you are

I'd say for survival games chain. In vanilla survival it would probably be gold if you have an enchanting table. Gold doesn't have as many uses though, so I'd enchant it with unbreaking.

Actually Chain is better with durability AND defence but its hard to obtainhttp://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Armor

Yeah but the difference on defense is almost unnoticeable and if you have enough gold to make a full set you should have enough for more. Also the fact that gold is much more enchantable and easier to obtain makes me prefer gold.
