Rares
by Halonium
Rares adds a set of party crackers and party hats that server admins hand out, and players can use them to wear prestigious cosmetic items on Fabric.
What it does
Rares is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 that gives players a set of party crackers and party hats. Its items are modeled on the rare cosmetic drops of the RuneScape party hats, and the author describes them as exclusive treasures. Normal play offers no route to them: a server admin grants them with commands, so their presence on a server reflects the admin's choices.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It requires Fabric API. Files are released under the MIT License and the source code is open source, with the latest Fabric file, 0.1.3, built for 1.20.1 and dated 2023-08-26. Builds also exist for 1.19.2 and 1.19.4.
Key features
Permanent party cracker
An admin can give a player a permanent party cracker with a command, which the player opens to receive a hat.
Temporary party cracker
A second cracker type yields a temporary hat, for players who should receive a limited-time cosmetic.
Colored party hats
Admins can spawn a party hat of a chosen color by replacing COLOR in the command with the desired shade, such as blue.
Temporary party hats
Temporary versions of hats carry a temporary color prefix, so a blue temporary hat is recognizable in the inventory.
Cleanup command
A single admin command clears every temporary hat and cracker out of the inventories of online players.
