localcape
by Maganoos
localcape lets players show a custom cape that only they can see, by placing an image file in the config folder.
What it does
Each cape is a 64x32 image named after the player's username and stored in the localcape folder inside the config directory. Once the file is in place, the cape appears on that player's character in the client. Because the cape is drawn locally, other players do not receive it and the server never needs the mod.
The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it. It runs on Fabric for game versions 1.21 – 26.1.2, with files for 1.21, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.2 for 26.1.2. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Local cape display
Capes are rendered only on the client, so they appear for the player who installed them and no one else.
Username-based textures
A cape is matched to a player by an image named with that username, placed in the localcape folder.
Error messages in the log
When a cape fails to load, the log records the reason, such as a wrong size or a misnamed file.

What the author says
localcape is a simple mod that allows you to define custom capes that will be displayed on your client only. Capes are added inside the config directory, under the localcape folder, where you must put the cape texture with the username of the player you would like to show that cape on.
