How to make a Netherite Helmet in Minecraft
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a netherite helmet with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, the netherite helmet is new armor that was introduced in the Nether Update. It is the most durable of all of the helmets which means that it will last the longest before being destroyed. Starting in Minecraft 1.20, the way to craft a netherite helmet has changed and now includes the new smithing template as an ingredient.
