1-click install
Update (1.2.2)
Another update but this time with more uniforms! in this updated I added imperial, ranger, and continental dragoon uniforms, hessian grenadier caps, militia coats, a new highlander uniform, as well as a few smaller additions such as new trousers and hats. I also improved the recipes and made nearly everything craftable.
Update (1.2.1)
Update (1.2.0)
About the Mod
This mod adds military uniforms inspired by the late 18th century, particularly around the time of the American Revolution. It currently features four factions: Imperial (British), Continental (American), Francien (French), and Castilian (Spanish).
While inspired by real historical uniforms, these are not 1-to-1 replicas. Real uniforms are far more intricate than I'm aiming to replicate.
Development Status
The mod isn't recommended for survival playthroughs just yet. Many clothing items either lack crafting recipes or use placeholder ones. Development is primarily focused on PvP gameplay, so survival mechanics aren't the main priority for now.
Everything is craftable now.
clothing this mod currently adds
- regimental coat (Imperial, Continental, Francien, Castilian)
- waistcoat
- soldier shoes
- breeches
- epaulettes
- tricorne
- bicorne
- crossbelt
- and lots more!
Upcoming features
- Skirmisher uniforms
- Grenadier uniforms
- Drummer uniforms
- Cavalry uniforms
- Hessian grenadier cap
- Militia coats
- Proper recipes
- Improved textures

Some appeals:
Plain black tricorns with no trim.
Black, blue, and grey trousers/breeches/waistcoats.
Perhaps then some different bearskin hat textures, single-sided epaulets, and more jackets for the Fr*nch/Spanish factions... I have big ideas for this mod.
Thanks!
I have a cool idea: WATCH OUT CUIRASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER (Guts and blackpowder reference)
Basically add a cuirasier armor to the game (compatible with Combat Overhaul)
I need wigs real bad
Hello ChiliKing, the recipe for the blue facings is the same for the tattered peasant gown, and it crafts the gown instead
Could you please fix? Thank you <3
every time this mod gets updated i have to do a lap around my room to burn off the excitement otherwise i'll start hurting myself and others. so so so peak
Id be down to commission you for a WW1 uniforms mod :O
Hello! I really love your Battledress: 1776 mod and wanted to ask if you’d be open to a commission for an American Civil War uniforms mod, featuring both Union and Confederate uniforms. Thank you so much for your time, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
Prussians? While not directly involved in the war, several American and British officers were Prussian. Also, new hats, boots, and coat colors to play dress up with :3
@ChiliKing It's good now Cheers!
Absolute GOAT
Adelion all fixed, thanks for the heads up.
DarkLeftOvers Did you check in the battledress
rothschild Hopefully i fixed it. let me know if its still a problem.
Hello ChiliKing. I think in the recipes .json's "head" both and lowerbody are some issues whit "to much " , , " and missing "". by the recipes much recipes does not shown up
v 1.2.1.
1.21.1 doesn't work sadly, wont show up on the creative list.

Can you fix the directory permissions on linux? The mod fails to load for me.
currently:
drw-r--r-- 7 user user 4.0K Sep 19 22:33 battledress1776
drw-r--r-- 3 user user 4.0K Sep 19 22:33 game
perms should be drwxr-xr-x
chmod -R 0775 battledress1776
Weeder76 The_Demon_Hunter When updating from version 1.1.0 to 1.2.0, a few of the old clothing items may appear as black squares. This is because those items were given additional color options in the update.
To fix this, you can either replace the old clothing item with one of the updated variants in creative, or downgrade to the version you had previously.
Otherwise if it is something other than just the waistcoat, crossbelt, and potentially the breeches becoming black squares, please let me know.
For some reason when i added to my server it does not work 1.21.1, and it broke the models for alot of the clothing
Some reason it dont work on 1.21.1 and it broke the models of alot of clothing
Hmm Maby a Looksie into why it did that might be nice
Thanks for the green rangers uniform. I'm not familiar with the time period of the uniforms thus I'm probably wrong here, but they seem too bright? The ones I found on google seem to have bit a blue hue to it I dunno.
Sick mod either way, will keep watching it.
Down with redcoats and traitors
If youve got a patreon or smth please link it dude, you've brought immeasureable joy to me
ChiliKing You cannot imagine the joy on my face as I come to see youve updated this mod AGAIN within like 1 or 2 days, you are a true red blooded American HERO
Love the Mod, Would you consider a Kilted variant for the Imperial redcoat?
disputedname They are pretty much reskins but hope they work! I will probably give the hessians more detail later on.
Comeaves I added the queens rangers which is somewhat similar, hopefully thats what you were looking for. I will likely add something closer when i add cavalry uniforms.
Also maybe a Hessian, Green Mountain boys, and Native American dress of some sort? (dont have to be super detailed or nothing)
What an absolute HERO for updating this out of nowhere with cool new stuff, love to see this kinda stuff be added.
Cool!
These look awesome.
Idk if it would help but Overhaul Lib updated recently and adds a BUNCH of base functionality that was only previously in Combat Overhaul, namely tons of slots for different pieces of clothing, if you were looking to diversify even further/not have to make custom models for each individual varient you were looking for
Would be awesome to have the uhmm... whatever the green uniform Sean Bean wears on Sharpe is called
🦅🇺🇸
King, do you have the server up and running already or do you plan to release it after you get the mod ready? Seems like it could be fun.
disputedname absolutely! I actually made them for my own server so they should work perfectly.
Malikyte Seems to be working alright.
JohanAzurius while napoleonic would be really cool, I dont have any plans for it at the moment.
Does this still work on 1.21? Not sure if the new update messes with clothing mods like this.
Idk where else to reach out to you bro but would you be alright if I used these in a revolutionary war themed server? ChiliKing
Absolutely love this mod, any chance you would do Napoleonic, or polish lithuanian commonwelth clothes too?
Very cool stuff, I love seeing more clothing mods!
Yankee Doodle went to town riding on a pony, stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni!
Anotzibartschad Thanks! I’m glad you enjoy it. Civilian clothes are definitely on the list for possible future projects.
🇺🇸
this is clearly the best clothes mod yet, never saw a better one in VS history. I wonder if you plan on adding civillian clothes from the 1700s/1800s in a different mod. You already have all the shapes required here, frock coats and waistcoats. So it'd be a matter of recoloring, simplifying and adding a few tie variants I think.
FINALLY A TRICORNE FOR MY DRIP!

*Mod looks great btw :)
It does, thank you and sorry for the wait. Also when tagging someone, don't write their whole name, just write part of it and select the person you want to tag. Because otherwise they won't receive the notification.
@Michaloid No problem! I hope the new description suffices. :)
Hello! Can you state the function of this mod please?
