Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.22.1 - 1.22.2, potentially outdated):
antlershorns1.5.1.zip  1-click install

You'll need playermodellib dependency (obligatory)

Updated for 1.22

 

Hi! This mod add antlers and horns from game's animals, at character creation ! For now there is 22 types of horns and antlers (all from the base game), and a none choice. They will clip with hats and helmets, so maybe use a mod that let you choose what clothes to show. 

Fully compatible with my other mod, Goblins ears & friends

Other compatibilities : 

 

Big thanks to Spoonail & Maltiez, Kyokui & Vivi, people on #mod-development and all people downloading my mods ! :p 

 

Spoiler! old updates text

 

  • updated for 1.21

 

compatibility : 

 

 

  • removed scrollcharactercreation dependency and added playermodellib dependency (obligatory)

  • I also posted version 1.2.2 for (1.20.12) that have playermodellib as a dependency and not scrollcharactercreation anymore, for those interested by it



Update 20/05/2025 ! I added scrollcharactercreation dependency (obligatory), and now the mod will be way more compatible with mods adding things to character creation menu. I tested it and normaly, your character will stay the same between version Apparently in server it will remove ears and antlers when changing version. I'm sorry :(




big thanks to Kathanon for making this possible with their mod !

I already left a message with the other creator, but also will put one here and fingers crossed. They made some new cute face textures for the seraphs and Iove them but the  horns and ears mods don't seem to work. Ill link it here as well, so that maybe you two can bump heads together and maybe, maaaaaybe if you feel so gracious enought to do it, make the two mods compatible?

https://mods.vintagestory.at/seraphatelier

Willownezz, Jul 3rd at 8:46 PM

I made a patch for the Amphitari from racial equality expanded, but the head shape is a little different, and the horns do not fit. Is there a way to change the position of the horns with a json file?

capra, Jul 1st at 5:53 AM

I crave to model jewelry to be on top of those horns tehehehehehe>:3

Wulk, May 30th at 1:19 AM

there a way to have bigger horns, or add custom ones onto this mod?

SageRoughwing, May 18th at 7:09 PM

Would it be possible to make this work with other models like the Bixo, or The Experiment? If so would be amazing if you could do that ^^

Kumpus, May 14th at 7:51 PM

For whatever reason, the Bighorn Ram & Ewe horns are missing from several races that otherwise have every other horn type (Maltiez's Humans, Female Seraph, etc.) Why is this?

Kumpus, May 18th at 5:39 PM
@Aillun: Yes I forgot to add them, should be ok now :)

Mouflon is sadly still missing from Female Seraph, as well as Bighorn Ram & Ewe from Female Seraph, Maltiez's Humans & Orrukin. I hope this'll be patched soon.

Female Seraph patch it on their side, but i fixed it for humans and orrukin, should be all right now !

still no bighorns on Humans with the update, this is incredibly strange as to why only these specific horns are being left out. it's a little disheartening.

It's not strange, i just need more sleep 😩
I forgot to add them to the rest of humans models, next update will include them (i tested) 

swindleman, May 13th at 6:24 PM

Would love to see comparability with Orrukin! Amazing mod!

narrator2845, May 11th at 10:06 PM

oh i really want this with lupine :)

Thatonecrow, May 4th at 6:54 AM

I used this on 1.22.2 and despite an error message on world start both this and the Goblin ears (and friends) mod seem to be working perfectly!

TRexTheHunter, May 4th at 3:22 PM
@Thatonecrow: I used this on 1.22.2 and despite an error message on world start both this and the Goblin ears (and friends) mod seem to be working perfectly!

Are you able to confirm which version of Player Model lib, JSON Patches lib and Overhaul lib you are using? Thanks!

 

Shazza, May 10th at 2:46 AM (modified May 10th at 2:47 AM)
@TRexTheHunter: Are you able to confirm which version of Player Model lib, JSON Patches lib and Overhaul lib you are using? Thanks!

TRexTheHunter Bighorn Ewe is missing textures, but otherwise (besides flagging with missing race errors) it works perfectly fine.
That's on Player Model Lib v 1.17.4, JSON Patches lib 1.5.2, and Overhaul lib 2.0.6 and game version 1.22.2.

Jarfr, Mar 21st at 5:34 AM

Aillun if you'd be interested, I can figure out the 3D resizing work on the Lupine models to get the horns adjusted, and I'm willing to put in the footwork, however making the actual patch/coding work is a bit beyond my understanding at the moment so I would just need that part of it to work off of. 

Kyokui, Feb 4th at 9:12 AM

Modified big ram horns was the one thing I actually added to this mod, make sure you're using the latest version

Darl3mGh0ulPhyl_Gray looks like Daggoth made a patch mod for skeletons + antlers mod, I havent had time to check it out myself but I have no reason to suspect it doesnt work just fine.

Phyl_Gray, Feb 2nd at 5:07 PM

Darl3mGh0ul I would also love skeleton compatability. I pretty much exclusively play with the skeleton race mod.

ThousandEyedVoid, Feb 2nd at 1:11 PM (modified Feb 2nd at 1:15 PM)

removing and readding this mod and the ears mod removed them from my player model. trying to redraw with playermodellib's commands, the horns and ears options didnt show up in the menu. any available fix? i want my guy to look cool again ):

edit: ahhh nevermind!! false alarm. my sister had disabled some mods and id forgotten about it. sorry !

Modified, Jan 31st at 10:57 PM

Any plans on adding some big 'ol ram horns? 🤞

Swako, Jan 28th at 1:31 PM

would this mod be safe to remove at any point in a world?

Darlem, Jan 15th at 6:44 AM (modified Jan 17th at 9:14 PM)

I don't know much about modding, but would there be a way to get these horns to work on a skeleton player model?

Aillun , Nov 30th 2025 at 8:55 PM

Kyon_Enyif Hello, the patch is very easy to do, but when i tested i saw that the horns was not at the right place (floating a little above the lupine's head). I need to modify all antlers/horns shapes and i'm not sure I have enough willpower to do this aha, i'm sorry. Maybe one day

Kyon_Enyif, Nov 26th 2025 at 10:52 AM

Been playing this game a lot recently, and was wondering if there was some way to get this working in conjunction with the Lupines mod?

Kyokui, Nov 14th 2025 at 6:22 AM

Has anyone had the issue where bighorn ram and bighorn ewe arent visible when you select them? You can select them fine, but the model isnt visible on your player.

Camyza, Nov 3rd 2025 at 7:45 PM

Player Model lib has been updated for anyone curious.

LadyKianna, Oct 29th 2025 at 2:38 AM

(NOTE: Horns & Goblin Ears still works with the previous version of playermodellib 1.3.12) 
 
If you updated to playermodellib 1.4.0, delete it for now and get the previous version instead



However, if you have the brand new playermodellib 1.4.0; Antlers & Goblin ears refuse to load and both say "Unable to load mod. Requires dependency playermodellib v" and... that's it, it ends at 'v' and doesn't show which version number it actually needs at all.  
Understandable that this mod (and goblin ears) doesnt work with the newest playermodellib version since that dependency was updated about three hours ago from me posting this

Aillun , Oct 26th 2025 at 1:26 PM

RenayEdor added :) 

bintoss, Oct 19th 2025 at 10:33 AM

RenayEdor MajinDark's fork of RE does it the other way around. But because they use a different mod ID, other patches for RE don't work with their fork.

RenayEdor, Sep 11th 2025 at 9:29 PM

Any possibility you could try to add support for Racial Equality (mod) and their additional player models? I know it doesn't quite fit but I'd love to be an elf with horns :D

Aillun , Aug 25th 2025 at 6:53 PM

ZenithEevee Saline_Valeni cowdragons Hi, I reuploaded the last version (for 1.21 rc1)

cowdragons, Aug 24th 2025 at 6:13 PM

currently directed to a 404 page when trying to download the 1.21 version

other than that, fantastic mod!

Saline_Valeni, Aug 22nd 2025 at 6:31 PM (modified Aug 25th 2025 at 10:34 PM)

(1.20.12) Love this mod, and seems to work flawlessly with the old version of playermodlib, but always crashes with the updated version a number of other mods are starting to use, would love if we could get an update for this and Goblin Ears that uses the newer version(s).

I meant an update for 1.20.12 game version compatable with playmodlib's 0.0.34+ mod versions, though I'm sure plenty appreciate the upload for the latest unstable game version.

SourSoup, Aug 17th 2025 at 9:44 PM

Please add a unicorn horn to this mod in later updates. I'm a big fan of this style and hope you have a great day.

 

ZenithEevee, Aug 15th 2025 at 5:10 PM

I'm sorry to report that i am getting a 404 error on trying to download 1.3, Same with the RC version for your Goblin ears mod. Not sure if its a client side issue since no one else is posting about it. 

Aillun , Aug 11th 2025 at 9:07 PM

VaporFerret could you please post there : https://discord.com/channels/302152934249070593/1330674452190466179 

it's my mod's topic on the official discord server of the game ; please post there your modlist, screenshots of the problem & logs 

VaporFerret, Aug 11th 2025 at 8:27 PM

Aillun Thank you for the update! Though I have a new problem :(

Ever since updating this series of mods (note my modpack is 180, so not 100% on what's causing what), my character got changed to some completely different character that's set to lily white skin with moose horns and I can't change it back even with .charsel, it just reverts back to this different guy. This is mostly problematic due to the fact that he is a commoner, and I am playing as a tailor.

If you have any knowledge as to what I should do please let me know, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Aillun , Aug 11th 2025 at 7:59 PM

thank you ThePieIsALie 😊

 

VaporFerret i have no problem downloading 1.3.0

I added playermodellib dependency for the 1.2.2 version !

 

Saline_Valeni If you are using a version that use scrollcharactercreation as a dependency, it will need it, playermodellib installed or not. But now I have either 1.2.2 (for 1.20.12) or 1.3.0 (for 1.21.0rc1) that both use only playermodellib and not scrollcharacter creation anymore as a dependency

VaporFerret, Aug 11th 2025 at 6:28 PM

Can't download 1.3.0 and possibility to get a playermodellib version for 1.20.12?

ThePieIsALie, Aug 10th 2025 at 5:05 PM

This mod is awesome! I love seeing my character with horns :)
Thanks for making this <3

Saline_Valeni, Aug 9th 2025 at 5:36 AM (modified Aug 14th 2025 at 12:35 PM)

For some reason scrollcharactercreation is still showing as a dependency for me when I have playermodellib installed, keeping it from loading. Anyone else have the same issue?

Downloaded 1.2.2 and that one works for me. Finally, horns. 👍

Aillun , Aug 7th 2025 at 10:08 PM

thanks :D

PureWinter, Aug 7th 2025 at 1:10 PM

I love this mod.

Aillun , May 22nd 2025 at 5:18 PM

you'll need to ask the author to change that, and/or explain to people how to do it, it's not that complicated to be honest. They need to click the "MOD" button in the game menu, click on the "open mod folder" and put the mod they downloaded earlier there, like all client side mods. 

Lordbanana89, May 22nd 2025 at 9:00 AM

Aillun i have big use on my server for that problems not all people know how to download and add the mod in client side, can possibile to fix it ?

Aillun , May 22nd 2025 at 8:19 AM

The author of scrollcharactercreation seems to have put their mod only on client side, when it needs to be put on client and server side for server auto download. I saw that a message was posted on their mod, and that they were looking into it. For now people need to download their mod manually and put it in their mod folder, or, with author accord, make a patch. I think it just need to modify the modinfo.json

Billiam, May 21st 2025 at 7:54 PM

I found that with v1.2.0 (and scrollcharactercreation) installed serverside, other people were unable to join the server and received the "0 mods missing to join server" error message. Reverting back to 1.0.1 resolved it. Looking at their logs, I see that the scrollcharactercreation dependency was missing for them.

Is it expected that all clients would need to manually install the scrollcharactercreation dependency manually? It's not clear to me how a cilentside dependency from this mod would be handled at join time.

Aillun , May 20th 2025 at 7:49 AM

Hello StraudBeryl , i'm waking up from my modding hibernation today to see what can i do with compatibility. I'll let you know if i'll make something that'll works :p Was thinking of using https://mods.vintagestory.at/scrollcharactercreation as dependency and so having the index "-" that put my mods at the end of the droplist, ending compatibilities problems 

ThePhantomX64, Apr 24th 2025 at 12:06 AM

hey, so there is now a mod that lets you be female called female Serephs and was wondering if you could add compatibility to allow the female Serephs to have the antler options?

Sofcrew, Apr 9th 2025 at 6:39 PM

i wish there were short stubby horns. the only example i can think of is the lamb form cult of the lamb. i think they'd be super super cute

StraudBeryl, Apr 8th 2025 at 6:42 PM

Hello Aillun

Mod author of Expanded Skins here, I was wondering if you could add an optional dependency for my mod in your modinfo category

"dependencies": { "expandedskins": "optional" }

I found out the reason my mod doesn't work whenever Antlers & Horns or Goblin Ears is loaded is because both mods adds a new dropdown between skin/eyes and hair, thus changing the index# I'm trying to call with hair.
I'm not sure how to fix this issue just yet, the only workaround I currently know of is asking you to add me as an optional dependency.

Thanks for hearing me out!

 

edit- nope nevermind vintage story doesn't support "optional"😿

tomandoawa, Feb 26th 2025 at 7:23 PM

Hi, is anyone else having an issue where the "Antlers and Horns" option makes the "Voice tone" one unreadable?

Aillun , Feb 21st 2025 at 8:03 PM

I don't have any kofi, i just reused a lot of things there and there i'm not sure it warrants a kofi aha but thanks !
Some new horns are on my list (and the bighorn sheep) but i've been pretty busy. I'm thinking about an unicorn horn, and some color variation on some to give them a more fantastical look without too much work. 

Broken horns are a good idea (and an easy one, aha), but i won't do it before adding the horns I want to add ! 

MamaCrow, Feb 18th 2025 at 9:07 PM

I love both of your mods so much! If you list a kofi I'd be happy to donate. If its ok to offer a suggestion, more fantastical horns (unicorn, dragon, demon, tiefling) would also be amazin!

Aillun , Feb 10th 2025 at 6:38 PM

Stejer

 Reading this comment , it seems that yes it works with it. Try and tell me :p 

Stejer, Feb 10th 2025 at 5:34 PM

does this mod work with the kobold mod?

TRexTheHunter, Feb 10th 2025 at 1:09 PM

💚💚💚 Awesome mod, perfect for hunter! Many thanks!

Amphira, Feb 8th 2025 at 9:19 PM

I absolutely adore this mod, it adds so much flavour to the characters !!

Do you have any plans of adding any variants of antlers that have their tips broken off or otherwise damaged overall?

Thank you for the mod! :3

Aillun , Feb 8th 2025 at 7:38 PM

Bighorn sheep is my next horn to do, it's just a little too big to put the game's model directly on the head i need to tweak it a little

thanks for all the nice messages people ! 

Tavere, Feb 8th 2025 at 6:38 PM

Do you think you'd be able to add in side-mounted (or top curling to the side of head) Ram horns? Like the vanilla critter, the male sheep.

Aillun , Feb 8th 2025 at 10:27 AM

@Deokeu

 

Pasting my message from goblin ears : 

 

" Ok, for the Classic seraph Faces mod, the conflict is in the patch. I'm not sure how to make an universal solution, but when you open the patch, search for 

 

"path": "/attributes/skinnableParts/7 [...]

 

where it's written " skinnableParts/7 "

 

Change all the 7 in the whole file by another value, maybe 8 or 9, until it works. I tried with 2 mods i made (this one and one unreleased) modifying the same part, and writting 9 worked for example.

 

 

If you see for example " /attributes/skinnableParts/7/variants/7/shape" "

 

Change only the first 7 but not the second one. "

 

When I tried with this mod and my 2 mods, 9 worked 🤔  

Deokeu, Feb 7th 2025 at 11:11 PM

These horns are so amazing! I'd love to play with it, but this mod seems to crash with "Classic Seraph Faces". You've done a fix for this with your goblin ears mod and I wanted to ask if you could do the same for the antlers mod, if its not too much trouble!

tagwin, Feb 7th 2025 at 4:53 PM

Aillun doing more for the rp community in two mods than any other. huge

ParallaxError, Feb 7th 2025 at 4:33 PM

Aww nice, been waiting for this since I saw you in the discord. Awesome mod, also yeah ram horns would be nice as people mentioned earlier =)

Benebell, Feb 7th 2025 at 1:03 PM

your mods are amazing, thank you for making them!

Pyrris, Feb 7th 2025 at 12:59 PM

Aillun It works with kobolds as per that patch! Thanks!

Skoolby, Feb 7th 2025 at 5:40 AM

+1 to the curly ram horns :3

Annastasija, Feb 7th 2025 at 4:00 AM

Would you be make curly ram horns that are more to the sides of the head? <3

LunaGore, Feb 7th 2025 at 3:20 AM

Reverhaus You can use the following command to give yourself access to the character creation again (requires admin if on a server):

.charsel

Reverhaus, Feb 7th 2025 at 1:54 AM

Wow! that's incredible!! I want to add it to a server but... how can players choose horns if they created character before the adition of the mod???

ParallelPenguins, Feb 7th 2025 at 1:51 AM

And now we just need a tail mod and a wing mod and we're all set! These are asesome mods! Thank you~~~

Wrum, Feb 7th 2025 at 12:17 AM

Vintage story but the seraphs are even cuter

Aillun , Feb 7th 2025 at 12:15 AM

Well maybe try with the new file, as i did a stupid mistake in the patch file !

TheSinisterRat, Feb 7th 2025 at 12:15 AM

This is very, very cool!

Now we're just missing tails before we can make tieflings!

Thank you very much for your work.

Aillun , Feb 6th 2025 at 11:57 PM

i'll take a look in the next few days !

Pyrris, Feb 6th 2025 at 11:55 PM

Oh I love this so much! If it is not too much of a hassle, using this with the kobold playermodel mod crashes the game, is there any chance for compatibility?
