Hats - Return of the Iconic Headwear Mod!

The Hats mod has been completely rewritten from scratch and returns for Minecraft 1.16.5+ with an updated interface and expanded functionality. Over ten thousand lines of code have been reworked to offer players both familiar classic hats and completely new models.

Convenient Headwear Selection

The hat selection system has been completely redesigned using Boxes & Stuff technology. Now you simply need to press the H key (by default) in the game to open an intuitive selection interface.

The diversity of available headwear is astonishing

Improved Rarity System

The rarity system has been simplified to five categories: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. Each hat and accessory receives a random rarity according to configuration file settings, conveniently displayed with color coding in the selection interface.

New Accessory System

A simple top hat becomes unique thanks to accessories

Hats now start with a base model, and some of them can be enhanced with special accessories. These additional elements are unlocked gradually, just like regular hats - by defeating mobs that wear them. After unlocking, accessories can be equipped if they remain in the player's inventory.

Enhanced Customization Options

The color palette has been significantly expanded - no more boring shades!

The coloring system has been significantly improved. Now hats and their accessories can be colored separately from each other. Settings for Hue, Saturation, Brightness, and even Glow Effect are available - perfect if you want to turn a blue wizard's hat into a bright red masterpiece.

Achievement System

Unique textures created with soul - programmer art at its best

The update brought with it an achievement system that guides the player along a path of gradual progress. Obtaining all achievements is a real challenge! Mathematical calculations show that obtaining the final achievement requires encountering an incredible number of mobs.

Compatibility with Other Mobs

Spreading fun to all surrounding creatures

Thanks to the transition to the Head Tracker system used in the Googly Eyes mod (which itself was improved for working with Hats), adding hats to other mobs, including creatures from third-party mods, has become incredibly simple. All you need is an installation with the desired mobs and Tabula for exporting model JSON files.

Creating Your Own Hats

Hats uses Tabula for creating hat models. If you want to create your own headwear, the mod adds a special button in Tabula that will help you in this process.

Hat Launcher

The hat launcher, powered by magma cube energy... somehow. Maybe quantum physics? And where do you even store all these hats?

In addition to the main hat system, a Hat Launcher is available. Don't like how passive mobs' heads look? Want to hide a bald spot on a friend's head? Just take the Hat Launcher and pull the trigger... with your 25-centimeter fingerless hands. A simple crafting recipe is unlocked through achievements.

Future Plans

Developers plan to add:

• Hat Trading/Marketplace
• Hat Stands
• Hat Merchant
• Hat Boxes

Technical Features

Hats has a modular structure. You can create your own hats and add them to the mod, as well as add hats to mobs from other mods that were previously unsupported. Only Tabula is required for this.

If you encounter issues with the Blur mod by tterrag, add "me.ichun.mods.hats.client.gui.WorkspaceHats" to the "guiExclusions" configuration file for Blur.
