More Capes
by KGriffon
Players who want a custom cape can set one from inside the game with More Capes, a Fabric mod that needs Fabric API.
What it does
The mod lets a player set a custom cape in-game, and the cape is visible to anyone else who has the mod installed. Changes can be made with commands typed in the game. A cape can be drawn from a web address that leads to an image kept on Mojang's own servers, or from a PNG file placed in the more-capes folder of the config directory. A file path can be uploaded with the cape set command, and the cape reset command removes a cape. Commands such as cape reload make newly added files show up.
The mod is client-side only, so the server and other players do not need it for the cape to show. Singleplayer needs a restart after a change, while on a multiplayer server a reconnect shows an updated cape to other players. Fabric API is required. Files are published for Fabric only, for 7 release versions 1.21.8 – 26.3, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features

Use cases
Showing a cape to other players
Players who run the mod see each other's capes, so a cape set by one player is visible to others on the same server.
Who it’s for: Players who want to wear a custom cape in Minecraft Java Edition on Fabric and who accept a client-side mod that other players need to install to see the cape.

What the author says
With this mod, you can use any cape you want and everyone who has this mod installed will also see it. There are two ways to change your cape. Both are done by running a command directly in-game.
