Vulp's Head Fox
by Vulpixass
Vulp's Head Fox adds a small fox head that sits on top of the player's own head, and the mod changes its variant through a command.
What it does
The mod places a fox head on top of the player's head as a small cosmetic addition. The head breathes slowly and twitches now and then, and the fox is visible only to the player wearing it, so other players do not see it. The foxAppearance command switches between the fox variants available in the mod.
Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players join without installing anything. Vulp's Head Fox is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places the work in the public domain. Files are published for Fabric only, with nine release versions 1.21.4 – 26.1, and the latest build is 1.0.0-26.1 for 26.1, dated 2026-03-25. The mod itself is Vulpixass's work, and source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from its public pages.
Key features
Fox head on the player
A small fox head is added on top of the player's head, giving the character a little companion.
Breathing and twitching
The head breathes slowly and twitches at intervals, so the model looks alive without any action from the player.
Variant command
The foxAppearance command changes which fox variant is shown on the head.
Visible to the wearer only
The fox is rendered only for the player wearing it, so other players in the same world do not see it.

Use cases
Cosmetic companion
A player who wants a fox riding along in the adventure adds it on the client and keeps it while exploring.
Who it’s for: Players who want a cosmetic fox on their head in single-player or multiplayer worlds. Because only the client needs it, the mod can be added without asking a server owner to change anything.
How it compares
More Fox Variants API is a Fabric mod for 26.1 – 26.2 that runs on client and server, and it is not open source under All rights reserved. Vulpine is open source under the MIT License, supports 1.20 – 1.21.1 and runs on both client and server. Fox Lamp is a server-side only mod for 1.21.4 – 1.21.5, open source under the MIT License, so players need nothing installed. Vulp's Head Fox differs by being client-side only, open source under CC0 1.0 Universal, and covering 1.21.4 – 26.1 with a cosmetic head rather than fox variants or lighting.
