Antagonists and villains are fully different to each other. Just like ImperfectXIII said, antagonists are the opposite of protagonists...which mean they do something bad or just get into someone's way by causing trouble, no matter what the size of that is. Trouble makers or what people call it a trolls instead, bullies, and depending on its element, rivals are part of it. Their motives aren't always evil, such as they do sometimes support the protagonists if necessary, and can be forgiven and reformed by learning something important to improve themselves to become better. MLP examples: Trixie, Gilda, Diamond Tiara, Sunset Shimmer, etc. Othe examples: Wario (Mario), Bass (Mega Man), N (Pokemon), Ice King (Adventure Time), etc. However, villains are simply pure evil which they cause overly extreme crimes and chaos. They don't hesitate to do something evil, such as killing people, and conquering or destroying the world for their own satisfaction. They never redeem nor learn anything right, which they all end in perfect death or destruction of themselves. Anyone who follow one of the seven deadly sins (which are pride/envy/wrath/sloth/greed/gluttony/lust) are preferred to be evil, and it is common that they always end in a terrible tragic ways. MLP examples: Nightmare Moon and King Sombra. Other examples: Albert Wesker (Resident Evil), Frieza (Dragon Ball Z), Green Goblin (Spider-Man), Joker (Batman), etc.

If you still can't tell the difference between antagonists and villains, then read this until you understand perfectly:
