KVisuals
by KaKtUzZzZzZz
KVisuals adds a customizable Chinese Hat rendered above the player's head, along with other visual effects, on Forge for 1.16.5.
What it does
The main feature is a dynamic hat drawn above the player's head from a triangle with a circular base and beams. Its radius, height and vertical offset can be adjusted, and its color can be set with RGB sliders. Players can switch individual visual effects on and off, so only the looks they want stay active.
A Fullbright mode brightens dark areas for better visibility, and it can be toggled from the same menu. The in-game settings screen opens with the K key and hides the main controls while visual settings are being edited, which keeps the screen uncluttered.
KVisuals is a Forge mod for the 1.16.5 release only, with a single file (1.0) published on 2025-07-18. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
Fullbright Plus is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it covers only 1.8.8 – 1.8.9 on Forge. Modern Fullbright is client-side only, built for Forge on 1.12.2 – 1.21.6, and is not open source. Fullbright is client-side only and not open source, and it supports Fabric and Forge across 1.8.9 – 1.20.6 under a Creative Commons license. KVisuals needs both client and server, so it works differently from these brightness-only options.
