Helmet is a piece of Armor that covers the head of the Player. 

The Turtle Shell is also technically considered to be a helmet as it can only be equipped on the helmet slot and grants defense, but has it's own page.

Types

There are 5 types of helmets, with varying strength:

• Leather – 1 Defense Points
• Gold – 2 Defense Points
• Chainmail – 2 Defense Points
• Iron – 2 Defense Points
• Diamond – 3 Defense Points

Each armor shield/point requires 2 Defense Points.

Obtaining

Helmets can be Crafted from 5 ingots/pieces using a Crafting Table. Iron Helmets can be found in Village Blacksmith Chests. Helmets can also be dropped from Zombies or Skeletons.

Trivia

• Helmets were added in Update 0.6.0.
• Helmets protect Zombie and Skeletons from burning in daytime, but the helmet will lose durability over time in the Sun, and eventually may be destroyed, leaving the Mob vulnerable to sunlight.
• After Update 0.12.1 helmets and other types of armor can now be enchanted.
• Leather helmets are called Caps, and can be dyed like other pieces of Leather Armor.
