↑ ^{Jump up to: a} ^b Enchantment probabilities are the same as a level-20 to level-39 enchantment would be on an enchantment table that had no cap at level 30, and that was able to apply treasure enchantments (except Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Wind Burst), and where the chance of multiple enchantments is not reduced.

Mob loot

Zombies, husks, skeletons, strays, bogged, piglins, and zombified piglins have a small chance to spawn wearing armor. There is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop the helmet they're wearing upon death unless they are spawned from an ominous trial spawner. The dropped helmet is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

In Bedrock Edition, vindicators and pillagers spawned in raids have a 4.16% chance (5.128% on hard difficulty) to drop an iron helmet. The dropped helmet is usually badly damaged, and has a 50% chance of being enchanted with a random enchantment.

Trading

In Java Edition, novice-level armorer villagers have a 40% chance to sell an iron helmet for 4 emeralds.

In Bedrock Edition, novice-level armorer villagers have a 25% chance to sell iron helmet for 5 emeralds

Usage

Helmets can be placed in the top armor slot of a player's inventory for activation.

Repairing

Combining

Ingredients	Crafting recipe	[hide]Description
Damaged Iron Helmet		The durability of the two helmets is added together, plus an extra 5% durability.

Ingredients	Grinding recipe	[hide]Description
2x Damaged Iron Helmet		The durability of the two helmets is added together, plus an extra 5% durability.

Unit repair

Ingredients	[hide]Anvil recipe
Damaged Iron Helmet + Iron Ingot	Iron Helmet

An iron helmet can be repaired in an anvil by adding iron ingots, with each ingot restoring 25% the helmet's maximum durability, rounded down. Two iron helmets can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the helmet's enchantments.

Enchantments

A helmet can receive the following enchantments. Note that while iron and chainmail have the same durability, chainmail has a higher enchantability than iron or diamond.

Armor trimming

It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, an iron helmet, and an ingot or crystal (iron ingot, copper ingot, gold ingot, netherite ingot, emerald, redstone dust, lapis lazuli, amethyst shard, nether quartz, or diamond).

These trims have no effect on the gameplay or strength of the armor. {| class="wikitable collapsible " data-description="Smithing recipes" !Ingredients!!Smithing recipe |- |Any Armor Trim +
