The Mad Hatter
With The Mad Hatter, a worn hat stores a large inventory that players can fill and empty by clicking, and the mod ports a hat-based storage idea first made by Miyucomic.
What it does
Putting the hat on opens a storage mode in which items can be placed into it and taken out again, working in a way similar to a bundle. Holding the Left Alt key, by default, switches the hat into a special mode. In that mode, holding right-click vacuums nearby items into the hat, and a left-click shoots stored items back out in quick succession. A middle-click fires confetti.
The mod is written for NeoForge and covers only Minecraft 1.21.1. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the author has published a source repository and an issue tracker. The author notes that bugs should be reported to the mod author rather than the original creator. The mod also fires three events, HatThrowItemEvent, HatVacuumItemEvent and HatConfettiEvent, which other mods can cancel.
Key features
Hat-based storage
A hat worn by the player holds items in a storage that behaves like a bundle, with items placed and removed by clicking.
Vacuum mode
Holding right-click in special mode pulls nearby items into the hat, with an animated ejecting system for returning them.
Confetti shots
A middle-click in special mode fires confetti from the hat, one of the animated effects the mod includes.
Cancellable hat events
Three events fire during hat actions, and a listener that cancels one can conjure a pigeon in its place, a behavior the mod itself does not add.

Use cases
Collecting loot in the field
A player walking through a mining area can sweep up dropped items with the vacuum mode instead of picking each one up by hand.
Carrying items on a magic theme
Magic-themed modpacks can use the hat as a portable storage item that fits the rest of the content.
Who it’s for: Players who want a portable, themed storage item on NeoForge 1.21.1 will find the mod useful. Server owners need to install it on the server as well, since the environment is client and server.
