🎃 Jack O’ Headless

Treat yourself this Halloween — swap your head for a grinning jack-o’-lantern and take the show on the road.

Wear it on your shoulders, snatch it into your hand, set it down in the world, and walk away headless while your pumpkin waits. When you’re ready, pick it back up with your own hand, park it on your head again, and keep haunting.

What’s included

• Ready-to-drop Jack O Lantern Setup prefab for VRChat avatars
• Nondestructive Headless bake — on upload / play, temporarily collapses your Head bone, snapshots affected meshes into a Headless blendshape, then restores your head. Your original meshes stay intact; no permanent mesh surgery
• Grab, hand pose, world drop & pickup (local player only — others can’t grab your lantern)
• Contact-driven grab / rotate
• VRCFury Toggle already set up (drives the Headless shapekey + lantern)
• Poiyomi Toon materials

Requirements: Unity 2022.3 · VRChat SDK3 Avatars · VRCFury · Poiyomi Toon · Humanoid avatar (Head mapped)

Quick setup

1. Drop Jack O Lantern Setup under your avatar.
2. Open 🎃 Jack O’ Headless and run the checklist (Head Base → Hand Base → Contacts).
3. Upload and haunt — the Headless blendshape is generated automatically on preprocess.

How to remove your head and leave it Toggle the lantern on — the baked Headless shape kicks in, your head vanishes, and the pumpkin sits on your shoulders. Grab it off your head into your hand, then drop it in the world. Walk away: you stay headless, and the jack-o’-lantern stays where you left it until you pick it back up with your hand. Return it to your head whenever you’re done playing corpse.

Happy haunting. 🎃
