Modern Beta Patches
Modern Beta Patches is a Fabric utility that fixes cape rendering quirks and some client bugs for players riding as passengers.
What it does
Modern Beta Patches changes how capes render on the client. It displays custom capes as their wearers actually have them and repairs several cape rendering quirks. Because the changes are client-side only, only the player's own game needs the mod, and servers run without it. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. Files exist for Fabric on 1.20.4, 1.21.4, 1.21.5 and 1.21.8, within the 1.20.4 – 1.21.8 range, with 1.1-1.21.8 for 1.21.8 as the latest file.
