Minecraft is majorly a chill and relaxed game but there are moments where you will get your head exploded, probably by a Creeper. Or you may get headshotted by a Skeleton. In either case, having Armor is very beneficial. Having Armor is great and all but we can improve on it by applying Enchantments, especially to a Helmet. In today’s guide, I will show you the Best Helmet Enchantments in Minecraft.
List of the Best Helmet Enchantments in Minecraft
The Unbreaking, Thorns, Respiration, and Aqua Affinity Enchantments can be applied to a Helmet in Minecraft without any issues. The uniqueness in Helmet Enchantment Builds comes into the picture when you consider all of the Protection Enchantments. Blast Protection, Fire Protection, Projectile Protection, and Protection are mutually exclusive Enchantments which means only one of them can be on a Helmet in question. The best Enchantments you should apply on your helmet must look something like this:
- Protection IV
- Unbreaking III
- Respiration III
- Aqua Affinity I
- Thorns III
- Mending
Blast Protection, Fire Protection, and Projectile Protection Enchantments are very situational Helmet Enchantments in Minecraft. Yes, they provide more defense to the Player but only to a specific type of Damage. You can mimic their functionality by always carrying a Shield, which pretty much negates Projectile & Blast Damage. To Negate Fire Damage in Minecraft, carry a Bucket of Water or better yet a Bucket of Powdered Snow for your Nether adventures. Thorns is a questionable Enchantment to be applied to your Helmet as it consumes durability if it is used. Granted the Helmet has Unbreaking & Mending but the effectiveness of both Enchantments gets reduced. I would recommend only using it in dire situations in Minecraft.
