Hero Capes
by baranhan123
Hero Capes lets players display their own 2D cape textures on the character, applied in-game from a file name.
What it does
Players drop custom.png cape files into the .minecraft/herocapes folder and apply one in-game with the herocapes texture filename command. Capes are 2D and customizable, and the mod uses the vanilla model renderer classes for built-in support. Epic Fight addons, Fresh Animations, Fresh Moves and other EMF resource packs are supported.
Hero Capes is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, from baranhan123, under All rights reserved and not open source. Players need it on their client, while a server may run it for extra features and can skip it. Players who join a server running it can see each other's capes.

What the author says
Adds very cool 2D customizable capes, that's it. This mod works perfectly as a client-side only mod! However if you install it on a server you and your friends will be able to see each other's capes.
