How to put on Armor in Survival Mode
If you are playing in Survival mode and have your inventory open, you will see a picture of your character with four boxes that allow you to change the armor that you are wearing.
Move the armor that you want to wear from your inventory to the boxes to the left of your character.
The diamond helmet goes in the helmet box. The diamond chestplate goes in the chestplate box. The diamond leggings go in the leggings box. The diamond boots go in the boots box.
As you move each armor item to your character’s clothing boxes, you will see your character’s appearance change as the armor is worn.
Now when you return to the game, you should see your character wearing the new armor.
