Important Notice
This is the 1.20+ port of Hats, originally made by iChun for Forge 1.6.2-1.16.5.
The original project is licensed under LGPL. Development of the original mod stopped in 2023, and this version continues the project for modern versions of the game, with support for Forge, NeoForge, and Fabric in 1.20+. This version isn't a 1:1 port of the old mod, i've taken the core idea of the mod, and re-made it in a way that's easier to maintain & create on top of. Some of the ideas like Hat Trading were also implemented into this port & i've removed some things that i deemed unecessary like the point system.
Credit goes to iChun for the original concept and implementation. If you enjoy this mod, consider supporting his other work ❤️.
