Copper Golem Hats
by Joyedlion
Copper Golem Hats is a Minecraft datapack that lets a player put a copper golem statue on their head and carry it in the hand.
What it does
Once the datapack is loaded, a copper golem statue can be worn as a hat, where it sits on top of the head and shows off its oxidized finish. The headgear keeps the statue's pose, so it can be shown in a standing, walking or seated position, or in a dramatic pose. A statue held in the hand can also be run through the same transformation.
The datapack is aimed at builders and players who like decorative, whimsical cosmetics in survival or creative worlds, such as a copper cave or a steampunk city. It is installed by dropping the datapack into the world's datapacks folder, and it works on Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.9 and newer. It is published as a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt build, plus a data pack for servers, across three release versions: 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 26.1.
Only the server needs the mod, so players can join without installing anything. The license is All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.
