Wavey Capes

by tr7zw

Wavey Capes replaces the stiff block of a player's cape with a single piece that bends, sways and flows with movement.

What it does

Capes rendered by the mod sway from side to side and bend with physics rather than staying a rigid slab. Several rendering styles are available, from a light bend in the cape to a fully simulated version that reacts to wind and motion. The style, wind effects and physics can be tuned in the in-game config screen, which opens from the mod list.

Purely visual and client-side only, the mod works on any server without being installed there. It needs Fabric API on Fabric. It does not grant a cape: players either already own one from Mojang or use a supported cape mod. Published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 43 release versions, 1.8.8 – 26.3, under a custom license that is not open source. Source code and an issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Animated capes

    Capes sway left and right, giving a more dynamic look than a static cape model.

  2. Improved bending

    Revised bending physics aim to prevent clipping through the body or harsh angles at the joints.

  3. Rendering styles

    A fully dynamic style, a physics style, a gentle bend style and a style that replicates the cape behavior of Minecraft Dungeons are all available.

  4. Underwater behavior

    Cape movement and resistance were reworked for swimming, although the most dynamic style can fold the wrong way while swimming or crawling.

  5. Config screen

    Rendering style, wind effects and physics settings are adjusted in-game from the config screen opened through the mod list.
