Equipping and Using Villager Hats

Wearing a Hat

Once you have crafted any of the seven hats — Armorer Hat, Butcher Hat, Farmer Hat, Fisherman Hat, Fletcher Hat, Librarian Hat, or Shepherd Hat — it becomes a wearable item. Equip it the same way you would equip a helmet: place it in your head armor slot, or use it from your hotbar so it goes straight onto your head.

Swapping Between Professions

Because each hat corresponds to a different villager profession, you can carry several and switch depending on what you are doing. Keep the hats you use most in your hotbar or in a nearby chest so you can swap quickly without digging through storage.

If you want a full set, craft all seven. Four of them — Armorer, Butcher, Farmer, and Fisherman — come from shaped recipes, so you will need to arrange their ingredients precisely in the crafting grid. The remaining three — Fletcher, Librarian, and Shepherd — are shapeless, meaning you can place their ingredients in any order.

Store spare hats together so you always know where your collection is. When you head out, decide which profession's hat fits the trip and equip that one before you leave. Swapping is instant, so there is no cost to changing your look between tasks.
