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

== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
[[Minecraft:Zombie]]s, [[Minecraft:husk]]s, [[Minecraft:skeleton]]s, [[Minecraft:stray]]s, and [[Minecraft:bogged]] have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include a chainmail helmet. There is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with [[Minecraft: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 [[Minecraft:ominous trial spawner]]{{only|je}}. The dropped helmet is usually badly damaged, and may be [[Minecraft:enchanted]] with enchantment levels 5-19.

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

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

== Usage ==
When worn, a chainmail helmet provides {{armor|2}} [[Minecraft: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 [[Minecraft:enchantment]]s.

=== Enchantments ===
A chainmail helmet can receive the following [[Minecraft:enchantment]]s. Note that while iron and chainmail have the same durability, chainmail has a higher [[Minecraft:enchantability]] than iron or diamond.

===Armor trimming===
It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a [[Minecraft:smithing template]], a chainmail helmet, and an ingot or crystal ([[Minecraft:iron ingot]], [[Minecraft:copper ingot]], [[Minecraft:gold ingot]], [[Minecraft:netherite ingot]], [[Minecraft:emerald]], [[Minecraft:redstone dust]], [[Minecraft:lapis lazuli]], [[Minecraft:amethyst shard]], [[Minecraft:nether quartz]], [[Minecraft:diamond]], or [[Minecraft:resin brick]]).

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