Mc cape
by 16zk
Mc cape lets players create, customize, import and share their own Minecraft capes through an editor that runs inside the game.
What it does
Players draw capes directly inside Minecraft with a set of pencil, eraser, fill and mirror tools, with undo and redo available while editing. Capes can be imported from PNG files, and animated capes are supported as well. A personal cape library keeps the saved designs in one place, where each cape can be renamed, duplicated or exported.
Equipping and removing a cape takes a few clicks from the library. The mod offers several physics modes that control how the cape moves on the player model. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it and players join without installing anything else. Mc cape requires Fabric API on the Fabric loader. It is published for 1.21.4 – 1.21.11 and is not open source, as it is released under All rights reserved.
