Cloth Cloaks
by pheological
Cloth Cloaks replaces the static look of a cape with cloth that moves on its own, letting Fabric players wear a physics-driven cape.
What it does
The mod adds realistic physics to capes, in the spirit of the cloth capes found in Lunar Client. The cloth responds to movement instead of hanging as a fixed slab, which the author notes was a common complaint about static capes. It works with vanilla capes and with other custom cape sources, and the author states it is based on Lunar's cloth cloak mod and compatible with Lunar Cloaks.
Only the client needs the mod, so players install it and servers do not. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source. Fabric files cover 1.21.11 and the 26.x builds through 26.2, with 1.1.0 for 26.2 as the latest file.
