AutoCape
by Blanche777_
AutoCape is a client-side Fabric mod that shows a player's cape only when the chestplate slot holds no elytra or hide-type armor.
What it does
Cape rendering is managed dynamically against the chest slot. When a chestplate, elytra or hide is equipped, the cape is hidden so the armor stays visible on the skin. Taking that piece off brings the cape back, so the skin and the intended look are kept without manual switching. The mod is built for the 1.21.11 game version only and is published for Fabric.
Switching between three modes is done in ModMenu: Global shows capes on every player, Local shows them only on the local player, and Off restores the vanilla behavior. Because it is client-side only, the server does not need it and players can join servers without any worries about it.
Key features
Automatic cape hiding
The cape disappears while a chestplate, elytra or hide is worn and returns once the chest slot is empty.
Three render modes
Global renders capes for all players, Local renders them only for the local player, and Off returns to vanilla rendering.
ModMenu switch
The modes are selected from the ModMenu screen, so no command or file edit is needed to change them.
