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

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 to disable single crafting recipes.

I found a bug or I have a good idea to enhance this mod!

Very good! Open an issue at Github. You have no Github-Account? You can also contact me here in the comments or via private message.

Useful Hats server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Useful Hats officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Useful Hats – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Useful Hats consumes the most tick time.
