      I'm not sure if this is actually a bug. Giving zombies or skeletons a helmet in the sun will take the damage that is supposed to be done to the mob and puts it on the helmet. Giving them a pumpkin will not damage it for obvious reasons. If you lose your armor it shouldn't be degraded by the time you get back to it.

          billy 21, as indicated in the report, this has been resolved as "Works As Intended". In other words, this is considered a feature, not a bug.

          I don't really mind the fact that it uses up the durability but the fact that it uses it up on zombie pigmen who don't burn is annoying.

          So a zombie or a skeleton wearing a helmet makes the helmet take damage from sunlight? How does that even work? It makes sense that the helmet protects the wearer from the sun, but it doesn't make any sense that the helmet would actually take damage from doing so, just because it's being worn by something that normally takes damage from sunlight.

          Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.6.4 / Launcher version 1.2.5 ? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

          Helmets also break when worn by zombie pigmen, who don't normally take damage from burning in the sun.

          Still, perhaps your good helmet falls off a cliff and the zombie only picks up the pumpkin.

          The mob will choose the best protection. If there is a leather helmet and a diamond helmet on the ground a skeleton will choose the diamond one or throw away the leather one if it picked it up. I'm assuming it works for pumpkins too.
