Overview
Turtle Helmet is a piece of armor in the Armor category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it. It cannot be stacked, so each Turtle Helmet occupies a full inventory slot on its own. With a base durability of 275 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, Turtle Helmet is worth 2 armor points. With 275 durability, Turtle Helmet lasts 275 light hits, or about 92 blows of twelve damage, because a piece loses one point of durability for every four damage in a single hit. At the enchanting table Turtle Helmet takes an enchantability of 9 (level with iron): armadillo scute at 10 does better and copper at 8 worse.
