Overview
Diamond Helmet is a piece of armor in the Armor category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it and End City chest loot. It cannot be stacked, so each Diamond Helmet occupies a full inventory slot on its own. With a base durability of 363 uses, it can be repaired and enchanted.
When enchanted, it can carry 11 different enchantments, including Protection, Fire Protection, Blast Protection, and Projectile Protection. Worn, Diamond Helmet is worth 3 armor points of the 20 a full set of diamond armor is worth. Diamond also carries 2 armor toughness, which is what keeps a heavy hit from cutting straight through the points. With 363 durability, Diamond Helmet lasts 363 light hits, or about 121 blows of twelve damage, because a piece loses one point of durability for every four damage in a single hit. Enchantability decides what the table hands back for the same levels, and Diamond Helmet sits at 10 (level with armadillo scute): chainmail at 12 does better and iron at 9 worse. Of the 2 kinds of generated chest that can hold it, bastion treasure chests are the best bet at about 26% per chest.
