Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.22.1 - 1.22.2, potentially outdated):
goblinears2.3.4.zip  1-click install

update 08/08/2025 : for 1.20.12, I added a release (2.2.3) wich needs playermodellib now and not scrollcharactercreation. If you use playermodellib on 1.20.12 and have white ears ingame, download this version.

Update 29/07/2025 : Updated to 1.21.0-rc1, removed scrollcharactercreation, and added playermodellib as dependency (obligatory). 

Big thanks Maltiez

 

 

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 between version. I'm sorry :( in singleplayer it was working for me


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

 

 

You no longer need to craft ears. (and you wil not be able to do it anyway. If you prefer them as hair accessories, just download the 1.x versions) 

They will clip with helmets and hats. Maybe use a mod that let you select parts of clothings you want to show. 

For now, the ears texture is directly tied to the vanilla one, and so i wasn't able to add shading to them, so it will be a little flat. I'll see what I can do. 


Tested and considered compatible with : 

  • Human-like skin tone
  • the kobold mod (it works without problem but it will add ears on your kobold... :p ) 
  • My other mod: Antlers & horns ! It add antlers and horns on your head :p 

Partial compatibility with 

  • Restored hair colors (gui not big enough, it's difficult to be able to select all colors )

 

Thanks to the feminity mod. :p

Big thanks for the modding community in the VS discord ! 

 

For 1.x.x :

This little content mod add goblin and elf ears as an head accessory (so no, you can't have them and a hat at the same time, sorry), one set of ears for each skin colors of the game, but also colors from the mod  "Human's skin tone" by yew.

With 1.1.0, you need now to craft "unfinished elf/goblin ears" with a plain cloth, some grass and sticks, each having 2 variant (one for vanilla colors and one for human skin tone colors), before using it in the grid with dry grass/ flint/ stick to make the ears the color you want. 
Please search in the survival handbook the one suiting your skin color to have the exact recipe :). 

In creative, they are now in their own tab, "Ears"

Hi ! Do you accept requests about compatibility ?

Would it be possible to add a compatibility patch for the Seraph Atelier - Player Model Lib mod ? I would love to be able to play with those !

Nereid, May 14th at 12:56 PM

Hi ! Got this error while loading my world, is there something I can do ?

Thatonecrow, May 4th at 6:53 AM

I used this on 1.22.2 and despite an error message on world start both this and the Antlers & Horns mod seem to be working perfectly!

Aillun , May 10th at 5:08 PM
@Thatonecrow: I used this on 1.22.2 and despite an error message on world start both this and the Antlers & Horns mod seem to be working perfectly!

Thanks, i also tried on 1.22.2 and no problems ; errors are just about json patchs for others mods, i haven't found how to make it so the patch only shows up when the mod attached to it is there. It's harmless 

Tutch, Jan 5th at 3:40 PM

Any possibility to have a compatibility with Racial Equality ? I've tried to copy how you did it in "Antlers & Horns" but couldnt manage to do it. Excellent mod otherwise ! :D

Eurielle, Dec 6th 2025 at 10:26 PM

Would it be possible to add a special compatibility with CAN Jewelry?

Namely, the ability to have the various ear-piercings be attached to the proper ears?

Aillun , May 10th at 5:10 PM
@Eurielle: Would it be possible to add a special compatibility with CAN Jewelry?Namely, the ability to have the various ear-piercings be attached to the proper ears?

It's been a while but i thought about this ; it's complicated to have earings attached on different places depending on the model you choose in character creator, i haven't found how to do this sorry ! i would love to have earings too :p

Yasamashi, Sep 10th 2025 at 9:33 PM

Aillun Yes, that was exactly what I intended to ask! Thanks for the info, much appreciated! :D

Aillun , Sep 10th 2025 at 8:45 PM

Yasamashi hi, what do you mean by head slot ? In the first iteration of this mod, i wasn't able to have ears at character creation so I made wearable items that you could put in the head slot.Now it's an element you choose at character creation ; you can put a hat on your eared head, if that was your question :) 

Yasamashi, Sep 10th 2025 at 8:21 PM

Hi, does this still use the head slot for the ears after switching to playermodellib dependency? Thanks in advance!

Aillun , Sep 6th 2025 at 9:09 PM

2.3.1 is for 1.21.0rc1, should works on the 1.21 release 

You can see what game version works on the "for game version" tab, next to mod version number. 

2.2.3 is for 1.20.12

Sneezingprince, Sep 6th 2025 at 3:44 PM

So, 2.3.1 should work on 1.21? Or is it the 2.2.3? Sorry, Im still new to modding

Aillun , Sep 6th 2025 at 6:21 AM

It should works on the release version, I tried it with playermodellib 1.0.3 and there wasn't any problem (you need to remove dependency in the mod info). I'll post the mod with updated dependency in the near futur

 

Also the author of Female mod made my mod compatible with it :) 

Sneezingprince, Sep 3rd 2025 at 7:20 PM

Hoping for a 1.21 release <3

Aillun , Aug 25th 2025 at 6:55 PM

Caehlsi berserkus Hi, I reuploaded the last version ! 

berserkus, Aug 23rd 2025 at 11:28 PM

I'm also unable to download the 1.21rc1 version unfortunately, hope it gets sorted out.

luxuriademoscene, Aug 21st 2025 at 2:21 AM

Really cute! Love this mod.

Bishop869, Aug 8th 2025 at 10:26 PM

Works like a charm with this latest version. Thanks!

Aillun , Aug 7th 2025 at 10:12 PM

Good news everyone, as i added 1.20.12 version with playermodellib dependency, no more white ears with this mod :) 

Puxido, Aug 7th 2025 at 6:55 PM

Ok, I figured it out. If you're using 1.20.12 and you are using playermodellib as well as scrollcharactercreation, the ears will be white.  Just disable playermodellib and the ears will go back to normal.

Sakst EbonyDream Commander007 Bishop869 Aillun

Aillun , Aug 6th 2025 at 9:54 PM

Caehlsi i'm able to download 1.21rc1 version without problem, it is/was maybe a website problem, hope it's resolved for you !

Aillun , Aug 6th 2025 at 9:52 PM

Sorry, i have no problem with the 1.20.12 version, just tried it with my mod and its dependency only, on a new save.

Are you all using scrollcharactercreation for this version ? As i wrote, i changed dependency for 1.21rc1, it's now playermodellib. But for 1.20.12 version, it's still scrollcharactercreation

Sakst EbonyDream Commander007 Bishop869 

Jokt, Aug 6th 2025 at 9:13 AM

Same here it's white for me anyone figure out a solution for it? 

EbonyDream, Aug 5th 2025 at 6:29 PM

Same here. Having the same issue as Commander and Bishop.

Commander007, Aug 5th 2025 at 4:41 AM

I'm also having the same issue as Bishop is. Every ear is bright white.

Bishop869, Aug 3rd 2025 at 4:29 PM (modified Aug 3rd 2025 at 4:29 PM)

I'm having an issue on 1.20.12 where all the ars are pure white and have no color/texture.

I've tried changing up my mods and everything in between but the issue persists. Any advice?

Aillun

Caehlsi, Aug 3rd 2025 at 5:32 AM

Hey!

I'm not able to download the newest version for 1.21, it appears to not exist when I hit download!

Aillun

Tasshroom33, Jul 29th 2025 at 7:19 PM

Thanks Aillun!

Aillun , Jul 29th 2025 at 5:10 PM

Hi Tasshroom33, sorry I have no idea, i'm just using simple json patch. Maybe ask Maltiez on discord, it's the author of a bunch of mods modifying player model. 

Tasshroom33, Jul 29th 2025 at 2:21 PM

Love the mods, any idea how you'd make the character have different body sizes that work with armor? No idea how I'd add it to the body fat mod. Figured you might at least have an idea where to start.

Aillun , Jun 17th 2025 at 5:57 PM

thank you C4BR3R4 it's added :) 

C4BR3R4, Jun 17th 2025 at 4:00 PM

Hi Aillun, you can add the Spanish Spain (es-es) translation.

Aillun , Jun 17th 2025 at 7:41 AM

It still needs scroll yes? 

BoardingBulb, Jun 17th 2025 at 12:54 AM

Doesnt this still need scroll?

Aillun , Jun 16th 2025 at 9:55 PM

BoardingBulb hi it's not, this mod needs to be both on server and client :) 

BoardingBulb, Jun 3rd 2025 at 3:12 PM

Is this client sided? I would love to use it for my mp server

Aillun , May 20th 2025 at 7:44 AM

I saw that you made a patch, I'm glad you was able to make it ThePhantomX64
SerHause I don't know how to do this, but you can make and upload a version with just the 3 variants you need, if you want. 

SerHause, May 15th 2025 at 9:07 PM

Is there a way to disable specific ear variants for everyone on my server? if not could I reupload a version with just variant 3 specifically for my server? 

ThePhantomX64, Apr 24th 2025 at 12:07 AM

Since you made the antlers mod, i was wondering if you could also add compatibility for this mod for female Serephs mod to allow them to have the ear options too?

Sofcrew, Apr 9th 2025 at 6:44 PM

if this had feathery "seraphim ears" that matched your hair color it'd make this mod absolutely perfect. i can't think of an example. like the goblin ears, but with feathers. i wish more people played around with the seraph aspect. the elf ears could stand to be a bit more blocky to fit in better

StraudBeryl, Apr 8th 2025 at 6:43 PM

Oh my gosh, I had completely missed that these were both your mods till now.

Lovely mods, very cute and stylish.

AronValoise, Mar 2nd 2025 at 3:50 PM

Kifa You should try out "elf ears and face" mod, it replaces one of the moustaches with a droopy elf ear

Kifa, Mar 1st 2025 at 3:52 PM

Great mod, but I wish there were droopy elf ears, as goblin ears are less pointy at the end.

Aillun , Feb 21st 2025 at 8:06 PM

DutchBoy i'll look at it in a few days! 

For news cosmetics choices, the problem is that i want to add a new tab in character creation to have more space (and put all my tabs there so I can avoid compatibility problems with mods modifying vanilla cosmetics things, and for other mods that want to add new cosmetic choice like me), but i don't know how, i tried but i'm pretty stuck there :( I hope i'll find a solution so i can add more choices 

DutchBoy, Feb 17th 2025 at 4:49 PM

Excellent mod. Super simple and really adds character to the model... but, if you checkout any beard with sideburns you'll see that the ears are infront of them when they should be behind them. If you were to push the ear positioning back just a little this mod would be perfect.

Vargur, Feb 13th 2025 at 4:48 PM

Random thought, but since you've done such a great job on these cosmetic mods - have you thought of trying any kind of skin cosmetics? Like scars, tatoos?

Aillun , Feb 11th 2025 at 6:27 PM

Hi Ivalera , same problem (and solution) on my last message ; you'll need to dezip restored hair colors, open the patch in notepad, replace all the 10 by 11, rezip everything (tested these 2 mods together with this solution, it worked). If you put Antler and goblin ears at the same time, it will be 12 and not 11 
For now i cannot do more than that, as character creation screen is harcoded and the solution I want are very hard to do (especially with my code level). 

Ivalera, Feb 11th 2025 at 12:55 AM

Hello, I think your most recent update broke the already fragile combatability with Restored Hair colors? I was running the 2.0.0 build, and moving to 2.1.1 causes Restored Hair Colors to jsut not turn on, and I can't see them anymore.

 

Strato, Feb 10th 2025 at 5:53 PM

milady

Aillun , Feb 10th 2025 at 4:22 PM

@rosysyn the solution I posted works for playing antlers+goblin+classicseraphface at the same time : 

dezip classic seraph face folder, open the patch with notepad, replace all of this by this code, rezip it : 

https://pastebin.com/qYjTUdJR

My mods insert themselfs as a new tab in the character creation box. It move position of the other tabs, modifiying their location. You see vanilla location in red, and new locations in green because of my mods tabs. But classic seraph face patch try to modify the facial expression, 7th position in red but now in 9th position ! So when you start your game, now the mod try to modify Hair extra, causing crash. That's why i asked you to modify all the 7's in this mod patch to 9 :p
 

I want to add a new tab in the character creation box (next to class) so i can add all the tabs i want without modifying the skin & voice one, but for now I don't have the coding capabilities to do it. 



If it's not working, you need to search what other mod conflict with mine and tell me

rosysyn, Feb 9th 2025 at 4:34 AM

Oh dear, I spoke too soon. While it worked fine on a new save, joining my server with an existing world leads to an instant crash.

Crash log here: https://pastebin.com/L7KnxEfR

EDIT: So after some tinkering, I'm pretty sure this mod is fine now that it's been patched, however when using the Antlers & Horns mod at the same time, it leads to a crash...

rosysyn, Feb 8th 2025 at 10:33 PM

Aillun The latest patch appears to have fixed compatibility with Classic Seraph Faces! No more crashes :) Thank you so much!!

Wrum, Feb 7th 2025 at 12:18 AM

Vintage story but the seraphs are cuter

Aillun , Feb 6th 2025 at 10:14 PM

Reverhaus normally you just have to put the new mod and remove the last one and it will works without problem, ears will be added, modified (or removed) automaticaly 

rosysyn

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. 

I had no problem with The Working class. 

Reverhaus, Feb 6th 2025 at 7:21 PM

Is there any way to activate the ears of the V2.1.0 in a game already created?

Aillun , Feb 6th 2025 at 4:10 PM

rosysyn i'll take a look thanks! Can you send also client crash logs please ? 

Thanks people! I'm focused on something else, for now I think these ears are enough :p maybe in the future i'll add more type

rosysyn, Feb 5th 2025 at 11:38 PM

I created a new save and am getting a crash right before the world loads :( Running version 1.20.3.

Crash report: https://pastebin.com/9RaS4wDX

I'm using quite a few mods, but I'm not sure which would cause a conflict. Maybe "Classic Seraph Faces" or "The Working Classes", since both of these do stuff in the character creation menu?

KiriRae, Feb 5th 2025 at 7:07 PM

Love the concept. Would love kitty ears.😻

Linkbro, Feb 5th 2025 at 6:11 PM

oh this is awesome! can i be a pest and request ears for kemonomimi? i have a friend that really wants to play as a kitsune, brilliant mod either way!

 

NeonPai, Feb 5th 2025 at 6:03 PM

You spoil us with more ear styles?! I hope tons of people see this mod!! 

Aillun , Jan 29th 2025 at 4:16 PM

Thank you you two 😊
And all the people who downloaded 1500 times my mod ! :o yay 

ArmsFrost, Jan 25th 2025 at 9:57 AM

Awesome work, I love it, I think this should be cannon, I can't belive how much better the chars look like this.

Kalmorph, Jan 23rd 2025 at 7:29 PM

This is so cute, damn! Thanks for the mod 🤗

Aillun , Jan 22nd 2025 at 7:35 PM

No they clip also for me, but it's because now every clothes have 3d shape, and it's not just textures applied to the seraph body shape (that was the case especially for shirts), that femininity changed. You also need to change the shape of vanilla upperbody clothes now

Cuttlebear, Jan 22nd 2025 at 6:34 PM

I've been trying to stop the clipping happening with Femininity. Out of curiosity Aillun, when you tested compatibility, were you able to have chests render correctly with 1.21?

Tamrelayne, Jan 22nd 2025 at 5:00 PM

This is such a cute option, thank you for makinging it part of character customization!

Aillun , Jan 21st 2025 at 12:07 PM

Sorry @Cherry_Brendon I do not have the reference :p it was juste randomly generated and I put some clothes

 

@Cuddly_Khan interesting, I'll take a look but no promise. I hope it's not difficult so I can make what I wanted to do at first! 

RadiantSky, Jan 20th 2025 at 4:04 PM

Yes! Thank you for adding the Elf ears!

Cuddly_Khan, Jan 20th 2025 at 11:28 AM

On the note of having these be character creation options, the only other mod I can think of that does something like that is Femininity. Might be worth having a look at that to see if you can figure out how it does it?

TRexTheHunter, Jan 20th 2025 at 4:15 AM

Oh damn! I know someone who will like this mod! Many thanks!

Cherry_Brendon, Jan 19th 2025 at 10:45 PM

No no no no no no no wait wait wait wait!


Aillun , Jan 16th 2025 at 9:55 PM

Yeah character option would be perfect, but creating some json accessories is muuuch simpler :p (especially as I don't really know how to code that).
I think i'll also add colors of Nat's human skin colors in the near futur
... And maybe others types of ears, it's not super complicated. Feel free to suggest some guys 👂

Dark crystal was really a vibe, loved this show

ArmsFrost, Jan 16th 2025 at 9:02 PM

Why does this have a Dark Crystal vibe to it? I love it, this should definitely be a character option.

RadiantSky, Jan 16th 2025 at 1:07 AM

This is amazing! Elf Ears when?!

SyilumiLunari, Jan 15th 2025 at 11:14 AM

GOBBO!!!

cheese_collector, Jan 15th 2025 at 7:38 AM

...

i really wish they were a character creation option...
maybe in a later update 

but besides that big single flaw, pretty good
