BestCape
by vr3y
BestCape lets players equip custom capes that they can customize, shown on the character in a clean, configurable interface.
What it does
BestCape is a Fabric mod for 1.21.4 that adds a cape screen where a player can choose and equip a cape for their character. The mod is client-side only, so only the player's own game needs it, and servers run without it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Custom capes
Players can equip capes they have customized, so a character can carry a look of their own design.
Cape styles
Capes can follow minimalist, neon or fantasy-themed designs, letting each player pick a style that fits their character.
Rendering system
A rendering system draws the cape with smooth, detailed results while the author says the game keeps running well.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
