If you want to make diamond leggings in Minecraft, you will need to put 7 diamonds on the crafting table, filling up all spots except the center spot and the bottom middle spot. 

And finally, for the boots, you want to put 4 diamonds on the crafting table, in the middle rows of left and right spots and the bottom rows of left and right spots.

If you do not already have a crafting table, you can make one using 4 wooden planks in the crafting slots in your inventory. You get wooden planks by putting any type of wood in the inventory crafting menu, and you get wooden blocks by breaking trees with your hands or an axe.

How To Mine Diamonds

To get diamonds in Minecraft, the best way to do is by mining. If you find a block of diamond ore while mining in Minecraft, you must have at least an iron pickaxe.

To make an iron pickaxe, you will need 2 sicks and 3 iron ingots. To get iron ingots, you will need to mine iron ore and then smelt this using a furnace and fuel to get iron ingots. Once you can mine diamond ore using this, you will be able to get the diamonds you need to make your armor and tools.

You can make other things with diamonds other than armor or tools, like an enchanting table. It is worth noting that diamond ore is usually found mining quite deep, so do not mine close to the surface and try and mine closer to the bedrock.

How To Enchant Armor

One of the best ways to make your armor or tools better in Minecraft is to enchant it and to do this. You will need an enchanting table and levels. You can get levels easily by doing most tasks in Minecraft, like mining ores or killing mobs.

Getting an enchanting table is much harder. To craft an enchanting table, you will need 4 blocks of obsidian, 2 diamonds, and 1 book. 

You already know how to get diamonds and will need an iron pickaxe for this.

However, you might not remember that to get the obsidian you need. You will need a diamond pickaxe, so as well as the 2 diamonds for the table, you will also need 3 more to craft the pickaxe needed to get obsidian.

Getting books is not too hard. You can find them in libraries in some villages, but you can craft them quite easily using 1 piece of leather and 6 pages.

You can get leather from killing cows and craft pages using sugar cane. It is worth pointing out that you will get better enchantments from an enchanting table by surrounding it with bookcases a block away from the table.
