Server /hat
by Koff
Server /hat adds a /hat command that lets players wear any item from their hand or inventory on their head, configured on the server.
What it does
Players run /hat to place the item they hold on their head. Server /hat is a Fabric mod for the server side only, so players join without installing anything and the server owner alone handles the installation. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is not open source. Files cover game versions 1.21.7 – 26.1.2, with 1.2 for 26.1.2 as the latest Fabric file.
Chat messages come in English by default, and a Russian translation is included as an option. A custom language can be set up, but it requires a configured config so the server knows which strings to load. The mod was first published on 2025-07-15 and last updated on 2026-04-29.
Key features
Wearing held items
The /hat command places the held or chosen item on the player's head, so any block or item can be worn.
English messages by default
Server messages appear in English until the server owner changes the language setting.
Russian translation
A Russian language option is available for servers whose players prefer those messages.
Custom language support
Server owners can write a language file and point the config at it, so messages match their community.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want a hat command with simple language options, and players on those servers who want to wear items on their heads.
How it compares
Hat Datapack is a datapack-style alternative with Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt files for 1.21 – 26.2, which needs the server but leaves clients optional, under the MIT License and not open source. Any Hat is a server-required, client-optional mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 1.16 – 26.3 and released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is open source. Server /hat stays limited to Fabric, with its own language options.
