Cosmetica
by eyezah
With Cosmetica installed, a player can equip custom capes, elytras and accessories on the client side, with no change needed on servers.
What it does
Cosmetica adds cosmetic items that change how a player's character looks in game. Capes and elytras can be custom legal designs at up to 2048x1024 resolution, and some capes are animated. Accessories can be attached to any part of the character, including hats, shoulder pieces, back pieces and shoes. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and its files cover 1.16 – 26.2 across 31 release versions.
Cosmetics can be browsed and previewed on the player's skin before they are equipped, through both an online catalogue and an in-game catalogue. Pressing Right Shift in game opens the customization menu. Sign-in uses a login system that does not ask for a password. Cosmetica is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Custom capes and elytras
Capes and elytras accept custom designs up to 2048x1024 resolution, limited to legal artwork.
Animated capes
Capes can be animated, so the design changes while the character moves through the world.
Accessories for every body part
Hats, shoulder pieces, back pieces, shoes and other accessories can be worn on any part of the character.
Preview before equipping
Cosmetics can be previewed on the player's own skin in an online or in-game catalogue before they are applied.
Passwordless login
The login system is built to be secure and avoids asking the player for a password.
