Minecraft:Diamond Helmet

Template:Infobox item A diamond helmet is a variant of Minecraft:helmet that is crafted from Minecraft:diamonds. It is the second-highest tier of helmet, having higher armor points, armor toughness, durability, and enchantability than turtle shells. It can be upgraded into a netherite helmet using a netherite ingot and netherite upgrade at a smithing table.

Mob loot

Minecraft:Zombies, Minecraft:husks, skeletons, strays, and bogged have a very small chance to spawn wearing diamond armor. 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 unless they are spawned from an ominous trial spawner. The dropped helmet is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

Unit repair

Template:Main Template:Repairing

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

Repair

Diamond helmets may be repaired by using them along with some diamonds in an Minecraft:anvil. They may also be repaired by crafting them together with another diamond helmet.

Armor trimming

It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, a diamond 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
