The Halo is a useful hat which keeps monsters away.

The hat has no armor.

When on head no monster except bosses attacks you. But beware of the Nether, because the Halo has no effect there, quite the opposite:

• before MC 1.16: All Zombie Pigmen will attack you.
• since MC 1.16: All Zombified Piglins will attack you.

The Nether is detected by the dimension parameters:

• "ultrawarm" and "piglinsafe" must be enabled (since 1.21.1-6.5.1.1, 1.20.6-5.2.0.3, 1.20.4-5.1.3.2, 1.20.1-4.2.0.1)
• "respawnAnchorWorks" must be enabled for the dimension (before)

To craft the Halo you need four Glowstone Dust and one Nether Star.

Collecting a Nether Star unlocks the recipe in vanilla recipe book.

The hat has a durability of 600 (configurable since 1.7.0) but it gets no damage when player is attacked.

Damaging can be enabled/disabled with the haloDamageEnabled config. (Since version 1.5.0)

Since 1.19.2-3.0.1.0

The Halo gets damaged when it avoids a mob setting the player as attack target. This happens at most once per second. (The config option haloDetectingRange was removed, because it is not needed any longer)

Before 1.19.2-3.0.1.0

The Halo gets damaged when equiped and a monster is inside a radius of 16 blocks (configurable with haloDetectingRange) around the player. At every tick there is a 5% chance to loose one durability point. So in average it looses every second one durability point. In the Nether it looses no durability.

The hat can be repaired with glowstone dust using an anvil.
