Description

The Tempered Iron Helmet is the headpiece of Ala Industrial's tempered iron armor set for Minecraft 26.2 (Java Edition). The helmet provides 2 armor points — exactly the same protection as an iron helmet — while lasting longer at 187 durability versus 165 (about 13% more), and it adds +1.0 toughness plus 12 enchantability, up from iron's 9. 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, a blast furnace, or the mod's EU-powered Electric Furnace. 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), and the Tempered Iron Helmet is the most common trophy piece on such mobs. Ala Industrial runs on both the Fabric and NeoForge loaders.

How to craft and use the Tempered Iron Helmet in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Smelt tempered iron

    Smelt ordinary iron ingots into tempered iron at a 1:1 ratio — a furnace, a blast furnace, or the EU-powered Electric Furnace all work.

  2. 2

    Craft the helmet

    Place five tempered iron ingots on a crafting table in the vanilla helmet pattern: three ingots across the top row and one on each side of the middle row.

  3. 3

    Equip the helmet

    Drag the Tempered Iron Helmet into the head armor slot to gain its 2 armor points and 1.0 toughness.

  4. 4

    Enchant freely

    With 12 enchantability, the Tempered Iron Helmet accepts enchantments a little more readily than an iron helmet at 9.

  5. 5

    Repair at an anvil

    Combine the damaged Tempered Iron Helmet with tempered iron ingots at an anvil to restore durability.

Where else it appears

Wild zombies (about a 4% set chance) and skeletons (about 2.5%), scaled by difficulty, can spawn wearing tempered armor, and the helmet is the most common piece — killed mobs drop worn gear at the vanilla 8.5% chance.
