Overview
Golden Helmet is a piece of armor in the Armor category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it and chest loot. It cannot be stacked, so each Golden Helmet occupies a full inventory slot on its own. With a base durability of 77 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, Golden Helmet is worth 2 armor points of the 11 a full set of gold armor is worth. With 77 durability, Golden Helmet lasts 77 light hits, or about 26 blows of twelve damage, because a piece loses one point of durability for every four damage in a single hit. At the enchanting table Golden Helmet takes an enchantability of 25: leather at 15 is the next one down. Of the 5 kinds of generated chest that can hold it, ruined portal chests are the best bet at about 21% per chest.
