Expert in no time just watch all of our episodes 109 of them uh today we have an awesome mod by the legendary mod maker ichun it’s called hats and it does exactly what you think it would do it gives you access to wearing and finding hats in minecraft the mod was

Made during a 96 hour modding marathon competition known as mod jam it was super fun and super unique just like almost all of ichun’s mods in fact the last mod we showed off was also made during a mod jam let me show it off this mod is super simple to install it uses

Forge and obviously requires it so if you are use hello you if you’re used to uh forge mods then you know what to expect i am already on fire this is gonna be a great episode uh so if you are in a survival world uh there will be hats added to

Random mobs throughout the game so you kind of walk around and try to find mobs that have hats on them sometimes it’s really quick to find uh these mobs with hats sometimes it takes a while uh sometimes you’ll find them on chickens sometimes you’ll find them on zombies sometimes you’ll find

Them on wolves it’s kind of a nice little hunt to help uh help you get out into the world and explore to find more hats if i look over here it looks like that cow what is that cow wearing he’s wearing a hat so what you do to get the hat is you

Go ahead and kill the cow so i’m sorry sorry mr cow friend uh there we go so i just unlocked the top hat looks like over here oh oh what are you wearing on your head mr piggy it is your turn and there we go so now we have the uh c

Scalar drawn uh hat if you ever see and to activate your hat menu go ahead and hit h uh and so now i have the top hat which i just unlocked you can see my characters wearing it or i can do this uh skel skeletron hat

If a hat has a c next to it it means that this was a contributor to the mod so if uh there are a few uh there are a lot of actual uh contributors that helped make this mod i like how i’m wearing a hat with of a character who’s

Also holding an axe who’s also wearing a hat this is a very very meta hat but anyway there’s lots of contributors and you will find that they have lots of hats sometimes it’s the creator’s skin sometimes it’s something cute like maybe just a cat or a dragon or something like

That so after you’ve gone through the world and collected lots and lots of hats you will get a nice inventory of potential hats a quick way if you don’t want to go find them all is to switch yourself into game mode one which once you go into the hat inventory you will

Have all of the hats unlocked so i could choose this cute little panda or any of these people because the parentheses comes first in the alphabet it starts off with all of the contributors here this is i just kind of like this one it kind of reminds

Me of the old old uh things you’d get like for christmas or something um and uh and so these first a few things are all of the contributors uh once you and then you once you get back past that there’s lots of uh others hats there’s this axe head it’s pretty good

Australian mine cart puts a mine cart on my head ash’s cap arrow through the hat i mean there’s all sorts of really really uh great i have a hat with a cake on it i have the cage cage hat uh once you find a hat

That you like all you have to do is hit done there you go and now you have are uh wearing the hat and if i do f5 you can see i got a little cat in the hat hat on looking great um there are 78 hats that come already installed uh

With this mod but you can add extra hats if you want i believe that i added cat ears so if i search for cat there we go i added these little cat ears here these are not a standard i went to a website which you can find in our show notes

Which has a nice database of hats right off the bat these uh these hats are really great and so let’s just go through a few of these options here i’ll hit done so i can i can wear these cat ears on my head i really like that look it’s pretty good

Pretty good so hitting h to open back up the hat uh viewer you can see there’s uh i believe 23 pages that normally start off actually i guess 24 because i’ve only added uh one hat you have some options so with this specific hat i can colorize it so i can

Switch the color from pink to something like that it just takes the base color and changes it this doesn’t really change um actual uh colors like within the hat like there isn’t a specific color that’s been chosen and then you go back to the hats list if you would like

A random hat you can hit the random hat button which will just cycle through the current list you’re in and you can uh switch between favorites which i haven’t favorited any hats yet or categories so if you just want to look at the contributors and switch between the contributors you’re now in the

Contributors list when you hit the random hat button now let’s say let’s get back and hit all hats let’s say that you found a hat that you absolutely love in fact let me go ahead and find the the cat ears and i want to go ahead and favorite

This hat what i have to do is hold down shift and then click the button and now they change uh that one button changes into four buttons where i can add it to a category if i want uh which i haven’t made any categories so you don’t see any

Um or you can whoops or you can favorite that hat so let me go ahead and search and by the way just a quick tip if you have something written in here and you’ve clicked away and done all sorts of stuff a quick way to empty that

Search field at the bottom is just to right click it and it’ll get rid of whatever is in there so if i find the cat ears shift and click again i can add this to my favorites i could delete the hat or i could cancel the hat you could also shift and

This delete changes into disable hat so if you don’t want to actually delete it from your computer you could just disable it from uh from the normal all hats list and it will go away shift is shift is kind of a important tool with this specific mod it kind of opens up a

Lot of extra abilities after that you can uh personalize uh your gui and and you know first person things like that you also have a refresh list if you want to refresh all the hats so say you’ve added extra hats into the mod oh sorry i’m in i’m in personalize

Uh mode uh which allows you to to take away let’s say you know what you’re i’m never going to use personalize again i can get rid of that i’m never going to use this refresh because i’m not going to install stuff and you know i really

Just don’t use categories i can do that once i’m done with personalization those go away now you can see as i hover over there are letters associated with each um with each menu so random hat is r i can get those hidden menus back by hitting the appropriate key and a

Personalized was p so let me just go ahead and bring those back actually i wonder if i can there we go i’m trying to get it back in the same order that it was in let me hit done and finally there’s a pro tip section at the bottom which you can click through

Which is kind of nice to really understand what a deep and powerful mod this is so up next you have found all of these hats in your world but you want to show them off well with the recent update that icon added now you can have hat

So let’s check out what you can do with hat racks so this is actually a separate mod that you will have to download off of ichun’s website but it’s super simple you just put down a wooden slab and a stick above it and you get a hat stand what you can

Do with this hat stand is place it on the ground just like this or you can even place it on the side of a block just like this once you click into it you have access to all of your hats so let’s go find those wonderful cat ears

You can place them right on top you can see how it has this little peg here um but you know you know this doesn’t quite perfectly work with the uh cat ears so let’s go ahead and clear that out let’s go find one of my favorites was

The beat was tiger eye yeah tiger eye here we are it’s a little kitten now as you can see this little stand right here doesn’t quite work with this specific hat it’s supposed to be a hat that you know it’s a kitten sitting on your head

So this peg doesn’t make sense have no fear you can go into the personalized item uh and you can just disable the stand so now it’s just sitting on the base you could also decide to disable the base so now if i clear out of this

It’s just a little cat sitting on the ground isn’t that so cute you can go back into it we could let’s say you know what i do want it sitting on a head you could choose a head you go between skeleton a wither skeleton a zombie my player head

Which it will download steve head and creeper head uh and then uh back to uh oh you know what there’s uh these are these other ones pigment blaze you could be an invisible head uh no head which we had before you can also change the color just like

You could on top of your head if you wanted and there you go same thing over here and this is kind of cool because some things are are so big here let’s let’s go put one on top of this mountain here just right here on the top over to that

Block put this down some of these hats are big enough that they just kind of look cool all on their own like this tardis and so if we personalize without a base uh there we go oops i forgot to hit done uh tardis you can personalize without a base

Hit done and now you just have a tardis sitting here in your world there’s a few of these sort of larger hats and of course you can download your own if you want to get creative the hat mod adds extra silliness to minecraft and is
