SimpleHat
SimpleHat allows you to put the current item in your hand into your helmet slot. By using Bukkit's built-in permissions system, you can define who can put what, and whatnot, on their head, per player, per group, per world. Which means a lot of control over who can use SimpleHat. Want to only allow wool on Guest's heads? No problem.
This plugin is an alternative to BlockHat and BlockHead. I was unhappy that BlockHead was inactive and BlockHat was adding unwanted features and bloat to the plugin. SimpleHat is extremely lightweight and has a very low memory footprint. SimpleHat uses Bukkit's built-in permission system to control who can use SimpleHat.
The command for SimpleHat is /hat. Upon running the command in-game, SimpleHat will automagically take the item and swap it with the item in your helmet slot, so nothing gets lost. SimpleHat has a in-genius permissions node to restrict access. If you want a group to be able to use all blocks and items as hats, use the permissions node "simplehat.*". If you would like to restrict access and only allow wool, use the permissions node "simplehat.35". You must use the item id, not the item's name.
Current Features
- Swap the current item in your hand with the item in your helmet slot.
- Extremely lightweight and memory efficient.

This only uses the onCommand feature and there's no event listener, afaik, so no reason to "update" for R5. I will recompile soon though. Also, no Jenkins and no GitHub. It's a single class file and too much hassle to GitHub and/or Jenkins it.

I've updated this plugin to the new events system and also added a warning message if you don't have permission to use it. I'll release it as soon as a recommended build with the deprecated code is released.

Posted Feb 20, 2012The next recommended build is for Minecraft 1.2, R5, and I and everyone who uses this plugin will greatly appreciate it if you can get a head start on the plugin so it's update to support the new revision when Minecraft 1.2 is officially released along with Bukkit R5..
