Chain Helmet Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a chain helmet with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a chain helmet is an armor item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.

How to get a Chain Helmet in Survival Mode

You can add a chain helmet to your inventory in Survival mode by killing a zombie that is wearing one.

Chain Helmet - Wiki Guide 4

If you are having trouble finding a zombie wearing a chain helmet, you can summon one using our summon mob generator.

Once you find the zombie, you need to attack it. When you attack the zombie, it will turn pink as it takes damage.

Chain Helmet - Wiki Guide 5

Continue to chase and attack the zombie. Once you have killed the zombie, it may drop the armor that it is wearing.

Chain Helmet - Wiki Guide 6

Make sure you pick up the chain helmet before it disappears.
