Useful Hats
by cech12
Useful Hats adds wearable hats that grant timed effects, speed up tools and let players teleport, sized to a rich catalog card.
What it does
Each hat in Useful Hats gives its wearer something specific while it sits in the head slot. Some grant timed effects such as Conduit Power, Night Vision, Jump Boost or Levitation, others boost mining or chopping speed with axes, pickaxes and hoes. A hat can also take a bite out of food on its own when the wearer is hungry, and one lets the wearer teleport to a set position with an Ender Pearl. Enchantments such as Efficiency and Respiration change how strong or long a hat's effect lasts.
The mod ships with a wiki that lists each hat and its abilities. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player both need it. Files cover 1.14.4 – 26.3 for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Cloth Config API and Fabric API are required, and Curios API, Mod Menu and Trinkets Updated are optional.
Key features
Timed effect hats
Hats grant effects such as Conduit Power, Night Vision, Jump Boost and Luck, with duration extended by the Respiration enchantment.
Tool speed hats
Hats raise mining or chopping speed with axes, pickaxes, hoes and shovels, and Efficiency increases the bonus.
Teleport and food hats
One hat teleports the wearer to a defined position with an Ender Pearl, and another eats food automatically when the wearer is hungry.
Dyable and configurable hats
Hats can be dyed, and a stylish stocking cap with a December design is included among the options.
Head slot placement
Hats sit in the head slot, and with Baubles Reborn they can be placed there too, a support that has been available since the 1.19 series.
