MCCapes

by PixelRSA

MCCapes lets a player pick any Minecraft cape to wear on their own character, without owning it.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.21.11

What it does

The cape is cosmetic and changes only how the player's character looks on their own client, so no one else sees it unless they run the mod too. MCCapes is built for Fabric and requires Mod Menu. The mod's own page states that MC Capes is owned by Microsoft and that the mod only changes the cape locally. Its files target 1.21.11 only, and it is released under the MIT License, not as open source.

Key features

  1. Local cape selection

    Choose any Minecraft cape and wear it on the character on the local client.

  2. Cosmetic only

    The chosen cape is shown only on the local client and is not sent to other players.

  3. Mod Menu integration

    Mod Menu is required, so the mod's settings are reached from the mod list.
