A '''chainmail helmet'''{{fn|Named '''Mail Helmet''' in Canadian English.}} is an uncommon variant of [[Minecraft:helmet]] that cannot be crafted, and is only obtainable through other means such as trading. It is the fourth-highest tier of helmet, having the same armor points and durability as an iron helmet but with higher enchantability.

== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
[[Minecraft:Zombie]]s, [[Minecraft:husk]]s, skeletons, strays, and bogged have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include a chainmail helmet. 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 are wearing upon death unless they are spawned from an ominous trial spawner{{only|je}}. The dropped helmet is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

=== Trading ===
{{Trade sources}}

=== Villager gifts ===
Armorer villagers may give the players with the Hero of the Village effect a chainmail helmet.{{only|java}}

== Usage ==
When worn, a chainmail helmet provides {{armor|2}} armor points.

=== Repairing ===

}}

A chainmail helmet can be repaired in an [[Minecraft:anvil]] by adding [[Minecraft:Iron Ingot|iron ingots]], with each ingot restoring 25% the helmet's maximum durability, rounded down. Two chainmail helmets can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the helmet's enchantments.

=== Enchantments ===
A chainmail 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, a chainmail helmet, and an ingot or crystal (iron ingot, copper ingot, gold ingot, netherite ingot, [[Minecraft:emerald]], redstone dust, lapis lazuli, amethyst shard, nether quartz, [[Minecraft:diamond]], or resin brick).

These trims have no effect on the gameplay or strength of the armor.
