Overview
Netherite Helmet is a piece of armor in the Armor category of Minecraft, obtained through smithing Table (Diamond Helmet + Netherite Upgrade + Netherite Ingot). It cannot be stacked, so each Netherite Helmet occupies a full inventory slot on its own. With a base durability of 407 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, Netherite Helmet is worth 3 armor points of the 20 a full set of netherite armor is worth. Netherite also carries 3 armor toughness, which is what keeps a heavy hit from cutting straight through the points, and each piece holds off 10% of the knockback from a hit. With 407 durability, Netherite Helmet lasts 407 light hits, or about 136 blows of twelve damage, because a piece loses one point of durability for every four damage in a single hit. At the enchanting table Netherite Helmet takes an enchantability of 15 (level with leather): gold at 25 does better and chainmail at 12 worse.
