Minecraft:Golden Helmet

Template:Infobox item A golden helmet is a variant of Minecraft:helmet that is crafted from gold ingots. It is the seventh-highest tier of helmet, having higher armor points and durability than a leather cap. Like all golden armor, Minecraft:piglins are attracted to golden helmets, and do not attack any player wearing one.

Mob loot

Minecraft:Zombies, Minecraft:husks, skeletons, strays, bogged, and Minecraft:piglins have a small chance to spawn wearing golden helmets. 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. The dropped helmet is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

Usage

When worn, a golden helmet provides Template:Armor armor points.

Piglins

As with other pieces of gold armor, piglins do not attack players wearing golden helmets unless provoked or attacked.

Piglins are also attracted towards golden helmets on the ground and equip them after inspecting them.

Template:Main Template:Repairing

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

Armor trimming

It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, a golden 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. Template:Smithing
