A '''leather cap'''{{fn|Also known as a '''leather hat''' in [[Minecraft:Language#Differences between English dialects|British English]].}} is a variant of [[Minecraft:helmet]] that is crafted from [[Minecraft:leather]]. It is the eighth-highest [[Minecraft:tier]] of helmet, having the lowest armor points and durability. Like all [[Minecraft:leather armor]], it can be [[Minecraft:dye]]d and protects the wearer from [[Minecraft:freezing]].

=== 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 leather cap. 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 cap they're wearing upon death. The dropped cap is usually badly damaged, and may be [[Minecraft:enchanted]] with enchantment levels 5-19.

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

== Usage ==
When worn, a leather cap provides {{armor|1}} [[Minecraft:armor point]].

==== Powder snow ====
As with all pieces of leather armor, wearing a leather cap protects the player from freezing in [[Minecraft:powder snow]].

A leather cap can be repaired in an [[Minecraft:anvil]] by adding [[Minecraft:leather]], with each leather restoring 25% the cap's maximum durability, rounded down. Two helmets of the same tier can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the cap's [[Minecraft:enchantment]]s.

=== Enchantments ===
A leather cap can receive the following [[Minecraft:enchantment]]s.

=== Armor trimming ===
It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a [[Minecraft:smithing template]], a leather cap, 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.

=== Dyeing ===
{{main|Dye#Dyeing armor}}

Leather caps can be dyed by combining it with [[Minecraft:dye]](s) through crafting {{in|java}}, or by {{control|using}} it on a [[Minecraft:cauldron]] containing dyed [[Minecraft:water]] {{in|bedrock}}. {{control|Using}} dyed leather caps on a cauldron containing ordinary water removes any dye from it.
