    About

    Useful Hats adds a collection of dyeable, configurable headwear that gives players practical abilities as well as a few playful quirks. The Aquanaut Helmet grants Conduit Power underwater, the Bunny Ears provide Jump Boost and faster eating, and the Mining Hat and Chopping Hat speed up mining and axe work while the Mining Hat also grants vision in dark areas. The Straw Hat speeds up shovel digging and hoe work, while the Mushroom Hat automatically feeds its wearer when hungry. For movement and travel, the Ender Helmet lets its wearer use an Ender Pearl to teleport to a chosen location, including across dimensions, while the Postman Hat grants Speed when sprinting at the cost of added Hunger, the Shulker Helmet grants Levitation, and the Wing Helmet provides Slow Falling while airborne. The Halo keeps ordinary monsters from attacking its wearer, but has no protective effect in the Nether, and the Lucky Hat offers a Luck effect. The Stocking Cap is a decorative option with a Christmas-themed appearance in December, and the Wing Helmet can sometimes react to nearby danger by flying away.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Creates settings files
    The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them.

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · All 60 latest files checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      60 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 34 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.
      Read without running it
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.
      Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends

    We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.

    The author declares on Modrinth that it shows advertisements.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · All 34 files read
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      The code of all 34 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases

    AI

    No sign that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and code history and found none.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.

    How we checked · 6 places read
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.
