In this guide, we’ll show you how to create a diamond helmet. What you’ll need:
- A Crafting table.
- An Iron pickaxe.
- Five diamonds.
Step 1 – Mine some gold
0:18 – Using an iron pickaxe, mine five pieces of diamond ore. You can generally find diamond ore in levels 12 to 15 of caves or mines. This will immediately yield you five diamonds.

Step 2 – Place the diamonds
0:34 – Now, place diamonds in the middle-left, top-left, top-middle, top-right, and middle-right cells of the crafting grid.
(You can look at your numpad, if you have one, and the placement on the crafting grid would correspond to the “4”, “7”, “8”, “9”, and “6” keys, which we can refer to as cells 4, 7, 8, 9, and 6.)

Step 3 (Optional) – Some style advice
Excellent work crafting your diamond helmet! There are few who can say that their head is as well-protected, or well-adorned.

Just make sure it matches the rest of your outfit. Don’t try pairing it with your leather chestplate. That’s definitely a fashion don’t.
