What it does

Players create a cape in the SkinMC cape editor or upload an image for free, then wear it in game with the mod installed. Other players who run the mod see the cape too, and the mod lets each player choose whether SkinMC capes replace default capes or appear only in SkinMC. Players can also browse a large selection of Minecraft capes across several pages and make their own from there.

The mod is built with Architectury API, so one codebase serves both Fabric and NeoForge. Install the loader that matches the setup and use the matching mod build. It covers 1.18 – 26.2 across seven release versions, and the latest files are 2.3.0 for 26.2 from 2026-08-29. Mod Menu is an optional dependency, and the mod ships with it bundled.

Key features

  1. Free cape upload

    Players can upload a custom cape at no cost and use it without a paid account or subscription.

  2. Cape display choice

    A setting controls whether SkinMC capes override default capes or are shown alongside them.

  3. Profile shortcut

    Holding Shift and right-clicking a player opens their SkinMC profile, and the shortcut can be turned off.

  4. Cape editor

    The SkinMC Cape Editor lets players design a cape for their own use, and a browsable selection offers ready-made capes.

Questions

Does SkinMC need Architectury API?

Yes. Architectury API is a required dependency, and Mod Menu is optional.

Which loader should be chosen for SkinMC?

Fabric or NeoForge, picking the one that matches the existing setup, and then the matching mod build for that loader.

Does the mod have to be installed on a server?

No. Only players who want to use capes need the mod, so servers do not have to run it.
