====[[Anvil mechanics#Unit repair|Unit repair]]====
Helmets can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[armor material]]'s repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the helmet's maximum durability, rounded down.
===Mob loot===
If a [[zombie]], [[husk]], [[stray]] or [[skeleton]] is wearing armor, 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 a helmet upon death. The dropped helmet is usually badly damaged, and may be [[enchanted]] with enchantment levels 5-19.
{{IN|bedrock}}, [[vindicator]]s and [[pillager]]s spawned in [[raid]]s have a 8.3525% chance (10.28% on hard) to drop [[iron]] helmets. The dropped helmets are usually badly damaged, and have a 50% chance of being [[enchanted]] with a random [[enchantment]].
===Natural generation===
Two [[armor stand]]s are found in each taiga [[village]] outdoor armory, one of them equipped with an [[iron helmet]].
===Chest loot===
{{IN|BE}}, a sealed room in [[woodland mansion]]s can appear that has a chest sometimes containing an [[Efficiency]] I leather cap.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-109048}}</ref>
{{LootChestItem|leather-cap,random-enchanted-leather-cap,chainmail-helmet,iron-helmet,level-enchanted-iron-helmet,golden-helmet,random-enchanted-golden-helmet,diamond-helmet,damaged-diamond-helmet,level-enchanted-diamond-helmet,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-helmet,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-helmet-2}}
===Trading===
{{IN|java}}, novice-level armorer villagers have a 40% chance to sell an iron helmet for 4 emeralds. Journeyman-level armorers have a 40% chance to sell a chainmail helmet for 1 emerald. Master-level armorers always sell an enchanted diamond helmet for 11-27 emeralds. Apprentice-level leatherworker villagers have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell a leather cap<ref group="note" name="dye note">The leather armor has a random color created by two dyes (possibly the same dye twice.)</ref> for 5 emeralds. Master-level leatherworker villagers offer the same trade.
Armorer villagers may give the players with the [[Hero of the Village]] effect a chainmail helmet.
{{IN|bedrock}}, novice-level armorer villagers have a 25% chance to sell iron helmet for 5 emeralds, {{frac|1|3}} chance to sell chainmail helmet at journeyman-level for an emerald, and 50% chance to sell enchanted diamond helmet for 8 emeralds at master-level. Apprentice-level leatherworker villagers have a 50% chance to sell leather cap for 5 emeralds as part of their trades, and 50% chance to sell an enchanted leather cap for 5 emeralds at the master level.
{{notelist|columns=1}}
==Usage ==
Helmets can be placed in the top armor slot of a player's [[inventory]] for activation.
===Defense points===
Defense points are each signified by half of a shirt of mail in the armor bar above the health bar. Each defense point reduces any damage dealt to the player that is absorbed by armor by 4%, increasing additively with the number of defense points. Different materials and combinations of armor provide different levels of defense.
The following table shows the number of defense points added by helmets.
{| class="wikitable" data-description="Helmet defense points"

|}
===Knockback resistance===
A netherite helmet provides 10% knockback resistance.
===Durability===
The following table shows the amount of damage each piece of armor can absorb before being destroyed.
Any "hit" from a damage source that can be blocked by armor removes one point of durability from each piece of armor worn for every {{hp|4}} of incoming damage (rounded down, but never below 1). Damage taken that armor doesn't protect (such as [[Damage#Fall damage|falling]] or [[Damage#Drowning|drowning]]) does not damage the armor, even if it is enchanted to protect against that type of damage. The following chart displays how many hits helmets can endure.
Netherite armor is not damaged by [[lava]] or [[fire]] when worn.

|}
====Repair====
Helmets may be [[item repair|repaired]] by using them along with some of their crafting material (leather, gold ingots, iron ingots, diamonds or netherite) in an [[anvil]]. Chainmail helmets may be repaired in this way with iron ingots. They may also be repaired by crafting them together with another helmet of like material.
===Enchantments===
A helmet can receive the following [[enchantment]]s. Note that while iron and chainmail have the same durability, chainmail has a higher [[Tutorials/Enchanting mechanics#Enchantability|enchantability]] than iron or diamond.

===Turtle shell effect===
Equipping a {{ItemSprite|Turtle Shell}} turtle shell provides the {{EffectLink|Water Breathing}} status effect, allowing the player to remain underwater for an additional 10 seconds. The time that this effect lasts does not begin to count down until the player dives underwater, then the 10 seconds are counted down. The effect immediately recharges after exposure to air.
===Brewing ingredient===
A turtle shell can also be used as a potion brewing ingredient.

===Piglins===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to ''golden'' helmets and pick them up, examining them for 6 to 8 seconds. Piglins can wear other helmets but are not attracted to them. They prefer stronger helmets over weaker helmets, with one exception: They always prefer golden helmets, throwing out stronger helmets in favor of gold helmets. Enchanted helmets are preferred over unenchanted helmets.

*Unlike the other helmets, the netherite helmet covers most of the player's face, due to a nose guard and cheek plates.
*The turtle shell is the only helmet that is not part of a complete set.
* In Bedrock Edition, there exists a bug<ref>{{Cite bug|MCPE|109048|Efficiency 1 Leather Cap in Woodland Mansions|date=December 1, 2020}}</ref> that makes it possible to obtain a Leather Cap enchanted with Efficiency I from [[Woodland Mansion]] chests with a chance of 1.45%. The enchantment has no effect on the cap, however.

A '''pickaxe''' is a [[tools|tool]] required to mine [[ore]]s, [[rock|rocks]], rock-based blocks and metal-based [[block]]s quickly and obtain them as items. A pickaxe mines faster and can obtain more block types as items depending on the material it is made from.
== Obtaining ==
=== Crafting ===
Pickaxes are crafted using 2 [[stick]]s and 3 identical units of tool material.

}}
==== Unit repair ====
{{main|Anvil mechanics#Unit repair}}
Pickaxes can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[tiers|tier's]] repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the pickaxe's maximum durability, rounded down.
=== Natural generation ===

=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, novice-level toolsmith [[Villager|villagers]] have a 25% chance to sell stone pickaxes for one [[emerald]], Journeyman-level toolsmith villagers have a 25% chance to sell enchanted iron pickaxes for 3 emeralds, and master-level toolsmith villagers always sell enchanted diamond pickaxes for 13 emeralds.
{{IN|java}}, novice-level toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance to sell a stone pickaxe for one emerald, journeyman-level toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance to sell an enchanted iron pickaxe for 7–22 emeralds, and a master-level toolsmith always sells an enchanted diamond pickaxe for 18–35 emeralds.
The enchantments are the same as the ones obtained from an [[enchantment table]] at levels 5–19.
=== Villager gifts ===
{{IN|JE}}, toolsmith [[villager]]s throw stone pickaxes at players under the [[Hero of the Village]] effect.
=== Mob loot ===
{{IN|BE}}, [[pillager]]s and [[vindicator]]s have a chance of dropping a damaged iron pickaxe when killed during a [[raid]]. The pickaxe has a 50% chance of being enchanted with random enchantment(s).
== Usage ==
=== Mining ===
A pickaxe is used to break stone and metal-based materials faster. Breaking a block with a pickaxe consumes one use (one durability point). No durability is consumed for blocks that break instantly. Pickaxes have different amounts of uses based on the type:
* Wooden: 60
* Stone: 132
* Iron: 251
* Golden: 33
* Diamond: 1562
* Netherite: 2032
Different qualities of pickaxe are required to successfully harvest certain ores and blocks. For example, while [[stone]] can be mined with any pickaxe, [[gold ore]] must be mined with an [[iron]], [[diamond]], or [[netherite]] pickaxe, or else the player harvests no ore. Different pickaxes also mine many materials at different speeds:
==== Speed ====
The following table shows the time it takes to break each type of block.
* A <span style="background-color:#FFC7CE;color:#9C0006;">red</span> background indicates that the block cannot be harvested with that type of pickaxe.
* A <span style="background-color:#FFFFDD;color:#8A7600;">yellow</span> background indicates that the block cannot be harvested with that type of pickaxe, but still drops something.
* A <span style="background-color:#C6EFCE;color:#006100;">green</span> background indicates that the block can be harvested with that type of pickaxe.
<!-- Table is sorted by hardness (mining time with diamond shows well), then by name -->

==== Java Edition ====
Pickaxes have an attack speed modifier of −2.8, meaning they take about 0.83 seconds to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]]. All pickaxes have an attack speed of 1.2 hits per second. They deal different damage based on the type:
