About Leather Helmet
The leather helmet is basic head armour for the early game. It gives only a small amount of protection, but it is easy to make and can be dyed almost any colour. Combine it with a dye in a crafting grid to change its look, or dye it again for a different colour. You can enchant it with normal armour enchantments, including Protection and Unbreaking.
How to get Leather Helmet
You can craft it from five pieces of leather. Arrange three leather across the top row, then place one leather in the middle-left and one in the middle-right slots. Leather drops from cows, horses, llamas, and hoglins. Zombies and skeletons sometimes spawn wearing one and may drop it when killed, usually with some damage.
