An Iron Helmet is a durable piece of head armor crafted from iron ingots, providing better protection than a chainmail helmet but less than a diamond helmet. It is commonly used due to the abundance of iron and its balance between durability and defense.

Iron helmets can be enchanted with Protection, Unbreaking, and Respiration to enhance their effectiveness. They can also be repaired using iron ingots in an anvil or crafting table.

Due to their availability and durability, iron helmets are widely used in both early and mid-game survival, offering reliable protection against mobs and environmental hazards.
