DatapacksJava
Head Items
A datapack that allows players to throw any item on their head even if it is not a helmet. (Makes Items Wearable)
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Head Items
Letting players throw items on their head since 2024!
Description
A datapack that allows players to throw any item on their head even if it is not a helmet. It will not replace the current item on your head if you are already wearing one. Keep in mind that this datapack has not been heavily tested so there may be bugs (Hopefully not!).
