Description

The Tempered Iron Helmet is the headpiece of Ala Industrial's tempered iron armor set for Minecraft 26.2 (Java Edition). Each piece of the set is tougher than its iron counterpart, and protection sits a bit above iron and below diamond — a middle ground between early and late game. Paired with the chestplate, leggings, and boots, the Tempered Iron Helmet rounds out a budget mid-game set that costs smelted iron instead of diamonds.

Craft the Tempered Iron Helmet at a crafting table from five tempered iron ingots in the classic helmet pattern: three ingots across the top row and one on each side below. Tempered iron itself is smelted 1:1 from ordinary iron ingots — in a furnace (slowest, with a little XP), twice as fast in a blast furnace, or in the mod's Electric Furnace for 200 EU with no XP. Repair the helmet at an anvil with more tempered iron, exactly like vanilla iron gear. Wild zombies and skeletons can also spawn wearing tempered armor (about a 4% set chance for zombies and 2.5% for skeletons, scaled by difficulty, filling only empty slots), and their worn gear drops at the vanilla 8.5% chance, boosted by Looting. Ala Industrial runs on both the Fabric and NeoForge loaders.
