The hats work just fine but I can't dye anything not sure what would cause that cause its only this mod that's having issues.

Can you upload your latest.log file?

latest.log

I have couple Ideas what it could be?
BedrockIfy (but other mods work just fine, recipe wise)
Crafting Tweaks
CraftPresence
Polymorph, but I used this in past with simple hats and it worked fine...

Bedrockify makes dying work using Bedrock's method.
Put dye in a water cauldron and click the hat on it, its compatible with SimpleHats.
Bedrockify just doesn't have JEI compat to remove the old method of dying from showing in the recipes.

Appreciate the help big time, has having hard time since the REI said the java way!
