I'm aware the anvil combines an item with its base materials to repair it. What are the base materials of chainmail so I can repair my Respiration I Chain Helm?

You can repair a chain armor with iron ingots.

Here's the wiki paragraph:

Anvils can also repair a piece of armor using units of that armor's base material. Chain armor can be repaired in this manner by using iron ingots.

There are three different answers to this question:

  • For use in anvil repairing, iron ingots are used.
  • For use in crafting table repairing, another peice of the same armor must be used.
  • For use in crafting the armor, fire must be used (unobtainable in Survival).

To obtain Chainmail armor, one must either kill a mob wearing such armor or trade with villagers.

    Actually, in crafting, another piece of the armor would be used to repair it, not fire; same for any other piece of armor repaired by crafting. You use the armor, not the material used when repairing by crafting.

  • @Unionhawk Forgot about that, I meant actual crafting of the armor. See the edit ^
