CookieCapes
by Alexa3004
CookieCapes lets players upload their own custom capes, which then show in-game for anyone else who has the mod installed.
What it does
Players create a cape design and upload it through the mod, so the cape they wear shows their own artwork instead of a vanilla or server-provided one. Other players see the cape in-game when they also run CookieCapes, and the setup works on any server because only the client needs the mod.
The mod is client-side only, so the server and players who do not use it are unaffected. It is published for Fabric, with files for 1.21.4, 1.21.5 and 1.21.6, and it requires CookieLib. The code is not open source; All rights reserved applies. The author's tutorial walks through installation and the upload steps one at a time, and the cape system works alongside WaveyCapes and Essential.
Key features
Custom cape upload
Players upload their own cape design, so the cape worn in-game reflects a personal image rather than a fixed option.
Visible to other users
Other players with the mod installed see the uploaded cape in-game, so custom designs are shared among mod users.
Client-side operation
The cape system runs entirely on the client, so it works on any server without server-side installation.
Cape physics integration
The mod can be combined with WaveyCapes, which adds physics to the cape so it moves with the player.

Use cases
Personal cape designs
A player who wants a cape that reflects their own artwork can design and upload it, then wear it in-game.
Multiplayer cape sharing
Players on a shared server who both run the mod can see each other's uploaded capes without any server change.
Who it’s for: Players who want custom capes on any server, and players who already use WaveyCapes or Essential and want the two to work together.
How it compares
Better Capes is client-side only, not open source and published for Fabric on 1.20 – 26.3. More Capes is also client-side only, is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21.8 – 26.3, so it does not cover the versions CookieCapes targets. CustomCapes is client-side only, not open source and published for Fabric on 1.21.11 alone.
