About this Mod

A simple magician's hat with infinite storage, cool animations, a vacuuming and ejecting system, themed after cards, and containing confetti!

In your inventory, it works similar to a bundle. You can place items in and take items out. You can then right-click it to put it on your head, or press H by default to take it off.

Once you wear the hat, you can access a special mode by holding Left Alt by default. Hold right-click or walk into items while in this mode to pick them up into the hat, and left-click to rapid-fire shoot them out. You can also press middle-click to shoot confetti.
