Capify
by chtriple_yt
Capify lets a player equip a custom cape from an uploaded PNG image, and the cape appears only on that player's own client.
What it does
Capify is a Fabric mod that gives each player a way to wear a cape built from their own PNG texture, without a cape subscription or a Minecraft cape account. The cape is applied through the player's client, so the character changes only for the local game. Other players see the custom cape only when they run a compatible cape system, while the server itself is untouched.
The mod runs on the client alone and works in both singleplayer and multiplayer. Since no server-side installation or external cape service is needed, a server owner has nothing to set up. Capify is published for Fabric across 12 release versions, and is licensed as All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
The project keeps its scope narrow: an upload-and-equip flow, a small interface and a preview that shows the cape before it is worn. Files exist for each of its 12 versions, and the latest one, 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, was published on 2026-06-08.
Key features
Custom cape upload
A player uploads a PNG image and wears it as a cape, with the image treated as the cape texture.
Instant cape preview
The chosen cape is shown on the character before it is equipped, so the design can be checked first.
Lightweight interface
A simple screen handles selecting and equipping capes, with few controls to learn.
Local-only appearance
The cape changes how the character looks on the player's own client, leaving other players' setups alone.
