About this project

What does Simple Hats add?

Simple Hats is a JSON-configurable cosmetic hat mod that allows users to define their own hats with various additional options such as variants, dye-ability, particle effects, and seasonality.

There are almost 300 custom hats included in the mod by default that users can add/remove/change as they like.

Other Features:
Hats can be obtained from grab-bags (Open with right-click) that drop from hostile mobs, or found in various loot chests.

Unwanted or duplicate hats can be recycled to craft new or upgraded bags in order to get new or rarer hats.

Hats can be placed on a craft-able hat-stand to show them off.

Some hats have variant models/textures that can be cycled in the crafting grid.

Some hats are dye-able just like normal leather, and washed off in a cauldron.

Some hats have different particle effects that can be seen in third person, or on another player.

Additionally, there is a season system where during certain times of the year, special grab-bags drop from normal bags.

0.3.0 Update:
Over 60 new hats have been added created by ArtsyDy. Warning: If you update from a previous version you need to delete and allow simplehats.json to regenerate to get the new hats.

0.2.0 Update:
Over 30 new hats have been added created by StarArtsy, including teddy bear hats created for Trinkets and Baubles by TwilightStar.

Special Recipes:

Recycle unwanted hats based on rarity:
{width=300 height=152}

{width=300 height=322}
