Cowboy Hats is a mod that adds cowboy themed hats and boots that are crafted as a special table, and also a bottle of sarsaparilla. The hats and boots can be upgraded at a different table to upgrade them and give them random rolled effects.
Compatable with Tough as Nails:
the hats and boots both count as cooling armor, and the sarsaparilla gives you some thirst from that mod too
Crafting:
In order to make hats or boots, you need a leatherworking table, made from 4 of any kind of planks and a bucket of water (it does consume the bucket):
using that table, you can make leather strips to make hats (and leather armer) with:
You can then make leather armor in the leatherworking table:
In order to upgrade the hats, you will need an infusion table:
and of course you can craft Sarsaparilla to quence your thirst from a water bottle, brown dye, and sugar:
Leatherworking:
You can make most hats the same way, using 4 leather and 2 leather strips:
The exception to this rule is the comically large cowboy hat, which uses much more:
you can also use the leatherworking table to make cowboy boots using 4 leather and 2 iron nuggets:
You can upgrade your cowboy hats or boots using the infusion table. Doing so will bring the gear up a tier and give them a random effect
