Guides › Armour
A helmet is head armour. In Bedrock, armour has two pictures: the icon you see in your inventory, and the worn texture that shows on the player. A custom helmet from an add-on can look like anything, from a crown or wizard hat to a space helmet.
With Addon's Studio you can draw both pictures, set its protection and durability, and even add 3D parts like horns, all in your browser.

Step by step
Add a Helmet
Open your project, tap Add item and choose Helmet. Give it a name like Ruby Helmet.
Draw the icon
Paint the inventory picture, or import one from your device.
Draw the worn texture
Paint the Worn armour texture. This is what shows on the player's head when they wear it.
Set protection and durability
Choose how much it protects and how long it lasts, plus enchantability and a repair material.
Add 3D parts (optional)
Turn on 3D model to give it extra parts like horns, a visor or a crown in Blockbench.
Add a recipe and export
Turn on Crafting and fill the grid, often five of your material in a helmet shape. Then tap Export.
Tips
- A vanilla diamond helmet has 3 protection. The whole diamond set is 20.
- Make the helmet part of a full set with matching chestplate, leggings and boots.
- Turn on Enchanted shine for a magical crown.
- Keep 3D parts small so they don't block the view of other players.
Questions
Can I make a hat or crown that isn't helmet-shaped?
Yes. Draw it on the worn texture, or turn on 3D model to build any shape in Blockbench, like a tall hat or horns.
Will other players see my helmet?
Yes. Worn armour renders on the player, so everyone in the world sees it.
Do I need to code?
No. You draw the textures and set the numbers. Addon's Studio makes the add-on files for you.
