Description
What is Better Caps & why does it exist?
Well for one simple reason - I don't like the flat 2D brims on the original models. I don't know how but I always manage to look at it head on - making the brim disappear entirely, which gives the model a rater interesting look. Then I remembered that RedRibbon made a better cap for her PokeCostumes addon - which didn't work with the new 1.7 models. I took that as a challenge, ported the cap to the new Pikachu model and gave it loooots of retexturing to turn one cap into 9!
How to install:
Click for instructions!
As of v1.1 this addon is both a data and resource pack so you need to install it as both. It will still work without the datapack installed but you won't be able to obtain the Partner Pikachu.
Singleplayer:
Put the .zip in /saves/[WORLDNAME]/datapacks
Put the .zip in /resourcepacks
Enable in game ESC - Options - Resource Packs
Servers:
Put the .zip in /world/datapacks
Sometimes it's called myworld, or something similar, sometimes it has a name instead
If you're in doubt about the correct folder, consult your server providers guide on how to add datapacks
Every Player has to have the .zip installed as a Resource Pack
Best option if for them to have it installed and enabled in their clients
It's possible to add them to server resources, but note that there have been issues with this for some cobblemon addons, so try whatever method suits you better

Suggestions:
If you have a public addon that uses the Pikachu caps or know of any & want me to add support for it - lmk and I can make that happen! Just hit me up on discord (either DMs or preferably my linked support channels) and I'll see what I can do.
