    Actions
    Firstly, make a Crafting Table using Wooden Planks if you don't already have one.

    Next, use the table to make the iron armour, you'll need 24 Iron Ingots. You need to craft an iron helmet (5 ingots), chestplate (8 ingots), leggings (7 ingots) and boots (4 ingots).

    Finally, open your inventory (cn_Y) then drag the pieces of armour into place. You should now have the achievement.

    Hope this helps!

    EDIT: According to comments, you may also have to craft a shield for the achievement. https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Shield

    JonBonStainsbyDid not unlock for me at first.
    Removed everything from my character, then re-equipped the Armor.
    Unlocked after 30-60 seconds

    DiplodomcusI also had to make a Shield. I made the Helmet, Torso, Legs, Boots & a Sword and it didn't unlock. I saw Chris1984uk's comment and it popped once I equipped the Shield

    Anster1995I had to hold an iron sword and crouch holding a shield and it pooped up. Maybe you had to be in a warrior pose for it.

    el ChicoGot it even tho I didn’t need a shield. Took some time to pop tho, funny enough I was running back to my base to make the shield and it popped when I was close

    SwedelSlug224Strange how it seems to work differently for everyone, I unlocked it years ago so I wouldn't be able to speculate

    kahlurI don't know what I did, but I just kept putting on and taking off the iron armor. The achievement popped maybe an hour later. Restarting the game seemed to help me.
