PutAnythingYouWantOnYourHead
by FurryHuiYao
PutAnythingYouWantOnYourHead lets players place a block or any other item in the helmet slot, where vanilla normally allows only armor.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft restricts the helmet slot to armor pieces. With PutAnythingYouWantOnYourHead installed, that restriction is removed for the helmet slot only, so a dirt block, a stone block, a diamond block or a stair can be worn as a hat. The item is drawn on the character's head in the same position as a normal helmet, so the look is visible to other players.
The mod is built for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1 and runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Its author describes it as a silly and stylish option for players who want a novelty look. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its files are published for 1.20.1 only, with version 1.0.0 as the latest Forge file.
Key features
Any item in the helmet slot
The helmet slot accepts blocks and other items, not only armor pieces, so players can wear unusual objects.
Visible on the character
A worn item appears on the character's head like a normal helmet, so other players can see the look.
Helmet slot only
Only the helmet slot changes, while the other armor slots keep the vanilla equipment rules.
Blocks and stairs as hats
Common building blocks such as dirt, stone, diamond blocks and stairs can be placed on the head.
