Upgrading Hat Scraps and Unboxing Grab-Bags in Simple Hats
Tiered hat scraps and grab-bags form the foundation of cosmetic collecting in Simple Hats. Rather than crafting individual headwear directly, players salvage fabric scraps from adventuring and refine them through tiered crafting steps into mystery bags that unbox rare vanity hats.
Scrap Tiers and Recycling Upgrades
Cosmetic materials drop across three standard rarity tiers: common, uncommon, and rare. Players frequently accumulate surplus low-tier scraps during exploration, which can be upgraded into higher rarities through straightforward crafting recipes:
- Two
Common Hat Scraps placed together in any crafting grid combine into one 
Uncommon Hat Scraps. - Two Uncommon Hat Scraps combine into one
Rare Hat Scraps.
This two-to-one conversion system ensures that every gathered scrap remains valuable. Lower-tier fabrics gathered from standard mob encounters can steadily be consolidated into premium rare scraps without waste.
Stitching Grab-Bags
Once sufficient scraps of a specific tier are gathered, stitching them into an unboxing bag requires a compact 2x2 grid pattern:
- Arranging four Common Hat Scraps in a 2x2 square yields one
Common Hat Grab-Bag. - Arranging four Uncommon Hat Scraps in a 2x2 square yields one
Uncommon Hat Grab-Bag. - Arranging four Rare Hat Scraps in a 2x2 square yields one
Rare Hat Grab-Bag.
These grab-bags represent sealed cosmetic bundles. Holding a grab-bag and right-clicking consumes the item, playing an opening effect and rolling a random cosmetic hat selected exclusively from that rarity tier's registered item catalog.
Crafting The Simple Hat
Players desiring a classic traditional cap without relying on randomized unboxing can craft the mod's signature base garment. Crafting 
The Simple Hat requires four 
Leather items and two 
String pieces arranged in a crafting table. The pattern places two strings in the upper corners, with the four leather pieces filling the top center and the full middle row. This basic brown cap provides a clean starter cosmetic before expanding into larger vanity collections.
Scrap Sourcing and Loot Tables
Simple Hats contains no custom ore blocks or underground worldgen features. Instead, scraps and completed grab-bags are acquired entirely through active gameplay:
- Defeating hostile mobs yields occasional common scrap drops.
- Scavenging dungeon structures, desert temples, mineshafts, and strongholds uncovers sealed grab-bags within treasure chests.
- Upgrading collected scraps at the workbench converts routine exploration rewards into rare aesthetic headgear.
