Clear Head
by choco422
With Clear Head installed, a carved pumpkin worn as a helmet no longer covers the screen with its overlay, so the view stays clear.
What it does
The mod removes the pumpkin overlay that the game draws when a carved pumpkin is worn, giving the player an unobstructed view of the world while the costume stays on. Vanilla gameplay is kept: Endermen can still be looked at safely, but without the screen-blocking blur that normally comes with it. The overlay can be turned back on through Mod Menu whenever the player wants it.
Clear Head is aimed at roleplayers and creative players who want a scarecrow or other spooky character build without giving up playability. It is a client-side mod, so only the player who installs it is affected, and it needs BreweryLib to run. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code published. Builds exist for Fabric only, across 8 release versions, and the latest file is 1.0.1 for 26.2, published 2026-08-18.
Key features
Overlay removal
The pumpkin overlay is not drawn while a carved pumpkin is worn, so the world remains fully visible.
Enderman gazing kept
Looking at Endermen stays safe as in vanilla, and the blurred screen effect that would hide the scene is removed.
Toggle through Mod Menu
The overlay can be switched back on or off through Mod Menu, for players who want the vanilla effect at some moments.
Simple configuration
The options are kept short, so the mod is set up once and then leaves the helmet and costume unchanged.

Creative and photo play
Builders and screenshot players who wear the pumpkin for its look can see the scene clearly while they work.
Who it’s for: Roleplayers, costume players and creative players who wear carved pumpkins and want the helmet without the screen overlay. Players who keep the overlay for its effect can leave it enabled in Mod Menu.
How it compares
Smash Pumpkins is a server-side mod for Fabric that needs a server install, with files for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 and all rights reserved, so it is not open source. ZenaviaQoL is a client-side Fabric mod under All rights reserved, also not open source. Clear Head is client-side and open source under the MIT License, and it targets the same game versions as ZenaviaQoL.
