Tails adds in a bunch of different tails, ears and wings including various subtypes all of which you can colour to your liking!
It's a primarily client side mod with an (optional) server side component for syncing tails across clients. However even if the server doesn't have the mod installed, other players with the mod can still see your tail! All you have to do is use the fancy in-game editor then export a modified version of your skin (don't worry, we use the unused pixels so there will be no visible change on your skin) and upload that to Minecraft skin servers and bam, other players can see your tail without having the mod server side!
Each tail is unique and different too with custom animations for each one to make them feel alive rather then something just tacked on. In the future, animations will be dynamic to what you are currently doing and react accordingly.
And of course, each part is customisable. Partss can have up to 3 different tints applied to them, with the entire full RGB colour available so that's over 16.7 million different colour choices per tint! Certain parts have subtypes so they are similar to the "main" part but with slight variations such as added parts etc and in the future, you'll also be able to select from different textures per part to make it even more unique to you.
You can open in the in-game editor by opening up the in-game menu (When you press Esc) and clicking "Tails Editor" button in the lower middle. Most of the buttons in the mod will have a tooltip to explain what they do but just have a mess about and see what you can make!
But I'm sure you're sick of reading. Check out the images section for some screenshots of what it looks like in action and then give it a whirl!
Curious about what tails are gonna be added in the future? Take a gander at this spreadsheet!
Incompatible Mods
If you use the following mods, Tails won't render correctly as they alter the player model. I always try to aim for compatibility so this list may be updated over time.

This mod is great, and I'm super happy with the large amount of customization. However, I have a few main issues with the mod. First, something awkward happens where when using an elytra or any of the wings from the Wings mod, the parts become... detached. For example the tail model sticks upward when in flight, and the muzzle and ears float over or beside the player. Also, I’m wondering if you are planning to create other ear and wing models? The muzzles and tails have plenty of options, but the other two feel more limited. Additionally, do you have any plans for adding any horn models? It would add that extra level of customization that aren't often common in other mods. Some things as basic as ram horns, dragon horns, etc. I also think a 1.14 optimization would be cool, but I'm okay with playing on 1.12. Overall, this mod has great potential for expansion. Keep up the good work!
Tails don't render proper if you have any of the four arms/legs upgrades from the Cyberware mod (Robotics Parts is the 1.12.2 port).
Though, might be a way around it. I think the problem is mostly with the skin, and it is possible to save the "Tails" parts as a skin which can be added to the main skin, right?
How do you export a skin? You say it's possible but I don't see any buttons for exporting.
In reply to Jusey01:
When you complete your player model, you can save it as a new entry in the ‘Library’ tab, which you then select and can export. The button for exporting looks like a door with an arrow pointing out.
In reply to TheWildDash:
The exports a code, not necessarily a texture file. It's been mentioned that the textures for the tails stuff can be applied to the actual skin itself, but I don't know how that would look.

Here's the article on how to export as a skin:

I wish you could make the tails mode in the newest mincraft too because i dont know how to get the older one and i only have the new one
In reply to yasssqueenyass:
Look up ‘Forge 1.12.2’ in your browser, then find the official Forge website where you can download that version.
Are there any modpacks on twitch that this mod is in? im trying to make a sever for friends that include this mod

One for sure I know that has this mod is Crackpack 3.
How to set this mod for server ? i put this mod for my forge server but only I see my tail and ears :/
Oh, and did this mod will be update for 1.14.4 ? I want to change the server version to 1.14.4 but without this mod there is no such option
Is this server supported, like server-sided?
I mean I do like the concept but, this deviates way too much from minecraft's style.
Take a look at the vanilla mobs.

You would have to change the default player model as well for the style of tail you've created to fit in. A blockier tail like the foxes' with dual colour would probably fit nicely as well.
In reply to Ketrai:
It's all in what taste one prefers, really. I can see where you're coming from with the more vanilla-focused art you have in mind, but I think some like the tails the way they are. Plus, this mod hasn't gotten past 1.12 yet, and models are a bit more detailed in those updates (horses in particular).
Is there a way to give tails/ears to custom npc mods? It would be nice to give npc a personal touch ^^
honestly, the mod is very cool. however it would be nice if you could update it to 1.14 with fox libs, please? take your time though,
In reply to Teajhay:
I second an update, although I too want time taken on it. I do also want the export function fixed.
In reply to Teajhay:
If you want a 1.12 experience very close to that of 1.14 or higher, download the FutureVersions mod and a world gen mod like Biomes O’ Plenty, which has an ocean biome quite similar to that of the 1.13 update. There is also some swimming mod but I forget what it’s called.
will you uptade 1.8.9 version to mod version 1.10.0?
I want
