Elytra Only Cape
by Evitonative
Elytra Only Cape changes when a player's cape is shown, so it appears only while the player is wearing elytra.
What it does
The cape is hidden in normal play and shown automatically once the player equips elytra, then hidden again when the elytra is removed. Players can change how the mod behaves when it is disabled, so the cape can stay visible or be turned off entirely.
The mod can be restricted to single-player games, and a server can keep a whitelist or blacklist that decides where the behavior applies. Settings are available through Mod Menu when it is installed, with YetAnotherConfigLib providing the settings screen. Both are optional, but the settings screen needs YetAnotherConfigLib. Fabric Loader is required, and the project is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. The mod is published for 26.1 – 26.3, with 1.1.0+mc26.2 for 26.3 as the latest file from 2026-06-25.

Use cases
Keeping a cape for flight
Players who own a cape they only want to show during elytra flight can keep it hidden at other times.
Who it’s for: Players who use capes and elytra, and server owners who want to control where the cape rule applies. Server owners can use the whitelist or blacklist, and single-player players can use the single-player restriction.
