Villager Vanity

by Stateus

Villager Vanity gives villagers hats and headwear modeled on their professions, so a village can look different from the vanilla look.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalApache License 2.0Open source1.21.5 – 26.3

What it does

Villagers receive hats for their professions, including an armorer's mask, a butcher's headband, a cartographer's monocle, a farmer's hat, a fisherman's hat, a fletcher's cap and a librarian's book glasses. A dusty cap is also included. The headwear appears on the villager models in the world, so a player can tell a profession apart at a glance.

The server must run the mod for the hats to appear, while a player can leave it out and still join. Installing it on a client alone changes nothing. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 26.3 as the latest, and the code is open source under the Apache License 2.0. Villager Vanity also ships as a data pack, and public links exist for its source code.

Builds cover game versions 1.21.5 – 26.3, with 12 release versions in total, including 1.21.5, 1.21.6, 1.21.7, 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3. The first release was published on 2025-12-07 and the most recent update on 2026-09-16.

Key features

  1. Profession-based hats

    Each villager profession gets its own headwear, such as the armorer's mask or the librarian's book glasses.

  2. Dusty cap

    A dusty cap adds one more option to the set of villager headwear, distinct from the profession hats.

  3. Visible in the world

    The hats are drawn on the villager models, so players can recognize the profession of a villager without opening a trade screen.

  4. Data pack option

    The same content is also available as a data pack for servers that prefer that route.
