Advanced Accessory System
by th1s.aVa
Advanced Accessory System lets the item placed in the head slot be shown as a hat, and it adds a throw action with adjustable charge.
What it does
Any block or item in the head slot can be displayed on the player model, so players can wear unusual objects as hats. The accessory layer also covers cosmetic armor and a few decorative items that do not give protection, and the author notes that the effect is shown on the player body rather than hidden behind the helmet.
Holding the item in the head slot and pressing Shift together with Q throws it forward. The default throw speed is 0.8 blocks per tick. Holding Left Shift first charges the throw: the charge builds acceleration of 0.08 blocks per tick squared over a default duration of 40 ticks, and one real second equals 20 ticks. The mod requires Collective, MaLiLib and Mod Menu, and it runs on client and server, so both sides need it. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, under the MIT License and is open source.

Throwing objects
Players can toss a head item across an area with a charged throw, for example to move a block out of the way.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want visible cosmetic customization and servers that allow it. Both the server and every player need it, and its three required dependencies must be installed with it.
