Data Driven Locator Bar Hiding
by OfficePigeon
Data Driven Locator Bar Hiding lets a data pack decide which items hide the locator bar, so the carved pumpkin hiding is no longer fixed in code.
What it does
The locator bar hidden tag on items is defined through data instead of being hard-coded in the game. Default values are kept, and a data pack can change which items and entities are affected. The change is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and Fabric API is required.
Servers that want custom hats can use carved pumpkin and player or mob head items with the locator bar. A Show Carved Pumpkins data pack removes the carved pumpkins tag and puts those players back on the bar. Files are published for Fabric across seven release versions, 1.21.9 – 26.2, under All rights reserved, and the source code is public.
Key features
Data-driven hidden items
Which items hide the locator bar is read from data, not fixed in the game code.
Default values kept
Out of the box the mod keeps the default hidden set, so behavior only changes when a data pack is added.
Carved pumpkin control
A data pack can remove the carved pumpkins tag so heads wearing them stay visible on the locator bar.

This mod makes a minor change to the Player Locator Bar so that entities can be hidden by items in the #wich:locator_bar_hidden tag [default values: carved pumpkin and all player/mob head items] instead of a hard-coded set of items.
