I had to reinstall my modpacks using the FTB/curseforge app and found that hats were not spawning on mobs in my favourite modpack, FTB Infinity Evolved.

After a bit of digging I read that the URL iChun uses to download hat data is no longer valid and causes no hats to appear in FTB Infinity Evolved. I tried downloading one zip file containing the hat tbl files, but this archive didn’t include the .tc2 files!

Luckily I saved my old hats folder from the previous installation of the modpack on the old FTB laucher.

Simply extract the ‘hats’ directory to your root FTB Infinity directory, for example ‘C:\Users\Chris\AppData\Local.ftba\instances\51bd2514-f1ad-4888-80a0-736d17693e79’ is where my FTB Infinity is installed.

Start the game and you should then see mobs wearing hats if you’ve done it correctly!

I’m off to start a new modded playthrough, catch me live on Twitch some time!
