# Useful Hats
This is a Minecraft mod which adds some useful hats to the game. (Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, Quilt) All included hats can be dyed and configured

There is a [wiki](https://github.com/cech12/UsefulHats/wiki) where you can read all details about the hats.
## Dependencies
The Fabric / Quilt version needs the following mods:
- Fabric API ([Github](https://github.com/FabricMC/fabric), [Curseforge](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric-api), [Modrinth](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api))
- Cloth Config API ([Github](https://github.com/shedaniel/cloth-config), [Curseforge](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/cloth-config), [Modrinth](https://modrinth.com/mod/cloth-config))
The Mining Hat uses the light effect of Lucent mod ([Curseforge](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/lucent), [Modrinth](https://modrinth.com/mod/lucent)), if it is installed. (Since 1.19.2-3.0.2.0)
All hats can be placed into the head/hat slots of Trinkets mod ([Curseforge](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/trinkets), [Modrinth](https://modrinth.com/mod/trinkets)) since 5.1.1.0. The head/hat slot is added by this mod by default, but it can be changed or removed by datapacks.

## FAQ
### Can I use this mod in my mod pack?
Yes, you are allowed to use this mod in your mod packs.
### Port to another Minecraft version? Which versions are supported?
Sorry, but I do not backport any mod to an older version. Here is a list of all supported and planned versions: [Minecraft mod versions of cech12](https://gist.github.com/cech12/662e37d2f8524037d9fef8fbe90bed5a)
### Is there a Fabric version?
Yes, since 1.20.4 Fabric and Quilt are officially supported. There is no plan to backport Fabric support to earlier Minecraft versions.
### Where is the config file?
Since mod version 2.0.0.0 you can find it in the defaultconfig directory. If you change something there it has only an effect on new savegames. For existing savegames you need to go to the serverconfig directory of the savegame.
### How can I disable single hats?
Since mod version 2.0.0.0 you need to add a custom datapack or use [CraftTweaker](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/crafttweaker) to [disable single crafting recipes](https://docs.blamejared.com/1.12/ru/Vanilla/Recipes/Crafting/Recipes_Crafting_Table).
### I found a bug or I have a good idea to enhance this mod!
Very good! Open an [issue at Github](https://github.com/cech12/UsefulHats/issues). You have no Github-Account? You can also contact me here in the comments or via private message.
