Hats x Mo’ Bends Compat

Mo’ Bends + Hats Compatibility

Mo’ Bends + Hats Compatibility is a lightweight client-side mod that makes Hats fully compatible with Mo’ Bends, allowing hats to correctly follow animated heads across all supported entities.

Instead of relying on vanilla head positioning, this mod directly attaches hats to Mo’ Bends’ animated head transforms, ensuring smooth, accurate movement in all poses and animations.

Designed to feel seamless and natural, this compatibility layer preserves the full visual experience of both mods without altering gameplay.

Features

• Fixes hat positioning when using Mo’ Bends
• Hats correctly follow animated heads in all poses
• Works with players and Mo’ Bends-supported mobs
• Supports:
  • Zombie
  • Skeleton
  • Spider
  • Wolf

  • Zombie Pigman
• Smooth rendering with no jitter or desync

• No gameplay changes—purely visual compatibility

How It Works

This mod replaces the default hat positioning system with a direct attachment to Mo’ Bends’ head model.

By rendering hats in the same transform space as the animated head, it eliminates floating, misalignment, and rotation issues that occur when using both mods together.
