Mob loot

Zombies, husks, skeletons, strays, and bogged have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include a copper helmet. There is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop the helmet they're wearing upon death. The dropped helmet is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

Usage

When worn, a copper helmet provides 2 (🛡) armor points.

Repairing

Two damaged copper helmets can be combined through crafting or using the grindstone. The durability of the used copper helmets are added together, plus an extra 5% durability. Both the crafting table and grindstone methods do not keep the enchantments of either helmet.

A copper helmet can be repaired in an anvil by adding copper ingots, with each ingot restoring 25% the helmet's maximum durability, rounded down. Two copper helmets can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the helmet's enchantments.

Enchantments

A copper helmet can receive the following enchantments. Note that while iron and chainmail have the same durability, chainmail has a higher enchantability than iron or diamond.

Armor trimming

It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, a helmet, and an ingot or crystal (iron ingot, copper ingot, gold ingot, netherite ingot, emerald, redstone dust, lapis lazuli, amethyst shard, nether quartz, diamond, or resin brick).

These trims have no effect on the gameplay or strength of the armor.
