Leather Cap

A leather cap is a variant of helmet that is crafted from leather. It is the eighth-highest tier of helmet, having the lowest armor points and durability. Like all leather armor, it can be dyed and protects the wearer from freezing.

Mob loot

Zombies, husks, skeletons, strays, and bogged have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include a leather cap. 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 the cap they're wearing upon death. The dropped cap is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

Usage

When worn, a leather cap provides armor point.

Powder snow

As with all pieces of leather armor, wearing a leather cap protects the player from freezing in powder snow.

Unit repair

A leather cap can be repaired in an anvil by adding leather, with each leather restoring 25% the cap's maximum durability, rounded down. Two helmets of the same tier can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the cap's enchantments.

Enchantments

A leather cap can receive the following enchantments.

Armor trimming

It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, a leather cap, 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.
