Chainmail helmets are an uncommon head-slot armor piece that shares the same 2 armor points and durability as an iron helmet, but with higher enchantability. They cannot be crafted, and are instead obtained from armored mob drops, purchased from Journeyman-level armorer villagers, or given as a Hero of the Village gift.

FAQ

Why can't I craft a chainmail helmet?

Crafting was removed in Java Edition 1.8 when the item form of fire used in the old recipe was eliminated, leaving chainmail permanently uncraftable.

Is chainmail better than iron armor?

They share identical armor points and durability, but chainmail's higher enchantability makes it a better base for enchanting than iron.

Can I repair chainmail helmets?

Yes, repair them on an anvil using iron ingots, each restoring 25% durability, or combine two damaged helmets for one with a small durability bonus.

How rare is finding chainmail from mobs?

Armored zombies, husks, skeletons, strays, and bogged mobs drop their armor with an 8.5% base chance on death, rising to 11.5% with Looting III.
