Pointed dripstones cause extreme durability damage to helmets

The Bug

When a pointed dripstone falls on a player with a helmet, the helmet loses a lot of its durability.

How to reproduce

  1. Put on a new netherite helmet

  2. Go into survival mode

  3. Stand centered on a block and run these commands in order:

    /setblock ~ ~30 ~ minecraft:dripstone_block
    /setblock ~ ~29 ~ minecraft:pointed_dripstone[vertical_direction=down]
    /setblock ~ ~30 ~ air
  4. If you don't die, take a look at your helmet
    ❌ notice it took a great deal of damage
    ❌  if you tried a new leather helmet, it would break on first try

Do you mean in terms of durability, or hp dmg?

 

I edited it now, I meant durability.

Could be intentional, but it's a little harsh. 

I can still reproduce in snapshot 20w51a. I've attached a video demonstrating this:

It also applies to all types of helmets, not just netherite.
