Bandanas
by boyonk
Bandanas adds sixteen coloured cosmetic head wraps, each with its own texture, that players craft from wool and string.
What it does
Each of the sixteen bandanas uses one of the sixteen wool colours and carries a unique texture. The items are purely cosmetic: they change how a character looks and have no effect on combat, armour or stats. Crafting takes three wool, two string and a shape arranged like a helmet, so the recipe follows the wool colour chosen.
The mod suits adventure play in deserts and swamps, where a bandana can be worn while exploring or fighting Bogged. It also works as a visual layer on servers, since the cosmetic items stay separate from gear. Bandanas is compatible with other cosmetic mods such as Cosmetic Armor, so players can combine the two.
Bandanas is for Fabric only and is published for 15 release versions, 1.20.5 – 26.1.2. Fabric API is required. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Sixteen coloured bandanas
One bandana exists for every wool colour, each with its own texture, so the set covers the full dye palette.
Purely cosmetic items
Bandanas change appearance only and grant no protection, which keeps them separate from functional armour.
Wool and string recipes
Each bandana is crafted from three wool, two string and a helmet-shaped pattern, using the matching wool colour.
Desert and swamp flair
The items suit characters exploring deserts or fighting Bogged in swamps, adding personal style to the adventure.

How it compares
Cosmetic Armor Updated is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 26.1.1, released under the MIT License and open source, and it is client and server. CosmeticArmorCompatibility is client-side only, covers 1.20.1 and is not open source. Bandanas targets a different slot of cosmetics, the head wraps, so the two can sit alongside each other.
