Simple Hats

Simple Hats is a cosmetic hat mod that is fully configurable through JSON files. Users can create their own headwear with various additional features: model variants, dyeability, particle visual effects, and seasonal characteristics.

By default, the mod includes nearly 300 unique hats that can be freely added, removed, or modified according to user preference.

Main Features

Hats can be obtained from special surprise bags that drop from hostile mobs or are found in various loot chests. To open such a bag, simply right-click.

Unwanted or duplicate hats can be recycled to create new or upgraded bags, allowing players to obtain rarer and more unique headwear.

To showcase your collection, you can use special hat stands that are crafted through the workbench.

Some hat models have multiple appearance options that can be switched directly in the crafting grid. Certain headwear can be dyed, similar to regular leather armor, and the color can be washed off in a cauldron.

Special hats feature particle visual effects that are visible in third-person view or on other players. The mod also implements a seasonal system: during specific times of the year, special seasonal sets may drop from regular bags.
