A netherite helmet is the strongest tier of helmet available, only obtainable by upgrading a diamond helmet using a netherite ingot and netherite upgrade in a smithing table. Like all netherite armor, this helmet provides 10% knockback resistance when worn, and is completely immune to burning from fire and lava, both when worn and in item form.

|---|---|
| Netherite Upgrade + Diamond Helmet + Netherite Ingot |
Usage
When worn, a netherite helmet provides 3 () armor points, 3 () armor toughness, and 1 (10%) knockback resistance.

| Ingredients | Crafting recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|

| 2x Damaged | The durability of the two helmets is added together, plus an extra 5% durability. |
Unit repair
| Ingredients | Anvil recipe |
|---|---|
| Damaged + Netherite Ingot |
Netherite helmets can be repaired in an anvil by adding netherite ingots, with each ingot restoring 25% the helmet's maximum durability, rounded down. Two netherite helmets can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the helmet's enchantments.

Armor trimming
It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, a netherite 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.
