Legacy WaveyCapes
by Polyfrost
Legacy WaveyCapes replaces stiff cape rendering with a single cape that bends and sways with the player's movement on Ornithe for 1.8.9.
What it does
The mod is a reimplementation of the WaveyCapes project for Ornithe, ported from the 1.8 Fabric build and rewritten to improve code quality. Capes render as one piece with smooth animation and physics-based motion, and the original mod's configuration file is kept compatible, with settings handled through OneConfig. It runs on the client only, so servers do not need it. The project is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is published for 1.8.9 with 1.0.1 as the latest file.
Key features
Bending cape rendering
The cape is drawn as one piece that bends and sways instead of a rigid block-shaped model.
Smooth animation
Capes move with smooth animation and simulated physics as the player walks, runs and turns.
Compatible configuration
Settings from the original WaveyCapes config file still apply, and options are edited through OneConfig.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

This is a complete reimplementation of Wavey Capes, improving code quality and porting it to 1.8 Fabric (Ornithe). You…
