MobHat Guide

This page introduces MobHat from a public server-docs point of view. It focuses on what the feature does in-game, how to get started when you have access, and which commands are useful.

MobHat lets players wear a small whitelisted mob as a temporary cosmetic. It does not replace server’s normal /hat item feature. Instead, it owns /mobhat and can optionally bridge only the specific /hat mob … pattern into MobHat.

Start with /mobhat. The sections below explain what MobHat is for, which commands players can try, and what to expect when your account has access.

Available features include:

  • Cosmetic hats made from a safe whitelist of supported mob appearances.
  • Direct selection, target-based selection, and optional /hat mob alias support.
  • Baby variants and modern entity scale handling where the mob supports them.
  • World restrictions and optional empty-inventory-slot requirements.
  • Experimental shoulder and back offsets for controlled testing when enabled.
  • Automatic cleanup on quit, death, world change, dismount, plugin disable, or stale state.
  1. Start with /mobhat to open or view MobHat.
  2. Use /mobhat status to check your current progress, settings, or state.
  3. Use /mobhat help when you want the in-game help or a short explanation.
  4. Try /mobhat info when you are ready to use one of the feature actions.

Does using a pet as a hat take the real pet?

Section titled “Does using a pet as a hat take the real pet?”

No. The hat is a cosmetic copy. The targeted mob remains in the world unchanged.

Mob hats are temporary. Quitting, dying, changing worlds, dismounting, or the feature being disabled can remove them. You can apply another hat when eligible.

Only allowed mob types work, and some require extra access or an allowed world. The default safety settings also require an empty inventory slot. Check /mobhat status and the message shown.

  • Some commands may be hidden until your group, event progress, or unlocks allow them.
  • If a command opens a menu, follow the buttons in-game; the website is only the learning guide.
  • Settings commands only change your own player preferences unless the page says otherwise.
