About the Iron Helmet
The Iron Helmet is a dependable piece of head armor for the early to mid game. It gives you 2 armor points and has 165 durability, making it noticeably tougher than leather without the cost of diamond.
It can be enchanted with helmet-specific options like Respiration and Aqua Affinity, plus general protection enchantments. Like other iron gear, it can also be repaired with iron ingots.
How to get the Iron Helmet
The main way to get one is by crafting it. Place five iron ingots in a crafting table in a helmet shape: three across the top row, and one in each side slot of the middle row.
You can also sometimes find an iron helmet in a village armorer chest, buy one from an armorer villager, or pick one up from a zombie that spawned wearing it.
