Adaptivecaps
Players who want a custom cape can use AdaptiveCaps, a Fabric and NeoForge client mod with an in-game cape editor for drawing, importing and animating capes.
What it does
AdaptiveCaps lets a player build a cape inside Minecraft. The integrated editor offers a painting tool with a full color palette for pixel work, and it also accepts imported PNG, JPG, JPEG and GIF artwork. Imported images are converted to the game's cape format automatically, and a live preview shows the result before anything is saved. Animated GIF files produce animated capes, and the animations are displayed to other players who run the mod.
The mod uses its own rendering system, so a player can show a custom cape without depending on an external mod or a third-party service. Elytra compatibility is included. The mod is built with performance in mind, and it is a client-side mod: only the client needs it, and a server does not have to run it. The code is under the MIT License, but the project is not open source. The current files target 1.21 – 26.2 across six release versions, with the latest Fabric and NeoForge builds dated 2026-07-24.
