Buff Iron Helmets (or Remove Chain Helmets) in SkyWars

Right now, SkyWars loot pools include both chainmail and iron helmets, but they are completely redundant. Unlike chestplates, leggings, and boots—where iron is a clear upgrade—an iron helmet gives the exact same protection as a chainmail helmet (1 full armor bar).

The Problem:
It completely breaks the armor progression logic. I constantly find myself pausing mid-game to swap out a chainmail helmet for an iron one, only to realize my armor bars didn’t go up at all. It feels incredibly annoying to waste precious seconds sorting through chests for a “fake” upgrade while trying not to get rushed.

Proposed Solutions:

  1. Add Protection I to all Iron Helmets: Giving iron helmets a default Prot 1 enchantment would make them a real, actual upgrade from chainmail.
  2. Remove Chainmail Helmets entirely: If they want to keep iron completely vanilla, they should just remove the chainmail helmet from the loot table entirely to stop wasting players’ inventory space and time.

Please vote if you’re tired of wasting time looting useless helmet duplicates!

Then just don’t use the other… Having both allows for complete sets.

Plus you upgrade to iron so fast it doesn’t matter that much.

Its just that they are completely redundant

It doesn’t actively harm you experience tho. Just ignore them. No reason to remove the ability to complete a whole set.

But couldn’t the space in the chest taken up by both iron helmet and chainmail be taken up by something more useful?
