How do I spawn a zombie wearing a helmet?
I want to spawn a zombie wearing a helmet but every time I try it, it ends up holding the helmet instead of wearing it. What command do I use to make the zombie wear the helmet instead of hold it, if I'm playing version 1.10?

The trick is to specify the equipment as an array.
/summon Zombie ~0 ~1 ~0 {ArmorItems:[{},{},{},{id:diamond_helmet}]}
The full command to summon mobs with gear is this (as of version 1.9):
/summon Zombie ~0 ~1 ~0 {HandItems:[{Mainhand},{Off-Hand}],ArmorItems:[{Feet},{Legs},{Chest},{Head}]}
To specify an item use its minecraft name (diamond_helmet for example) instead of their id.
Here is a list.
PS: You can equip (almost) any item, not just armor.

How do you get a zombie to wear a helmet?
You'd drop the item or armor on the ground that you want the zombie to equip, and if the given item is better than the current things the zombie has, then the zombie will swap it's pre-existing item or armor for the new one.How do you force zombies to wear armor?
If a zombie spawns wearing multiple pieces of armor, the armor is never mismatched (i.e. all pieces are made of the same material)....Geared zombies.ArmorEasy & NormalHardHelmet100%100%Helmet & Chestplate75%90%Helmet & Chestplate & Leggings56.25%81%Full set42.19%72.9%Minecraft 1.16.5: How to summon a custom mob with armor and weapon
