Capes - Unified Cape Mod
MODA simple mod that lets you use capes from OptiFine, LabyMod, and MinecraftCapes all in one.
The Capes mod solves a common annoyance for Minecraft players who own capes from multiple sources. Without it, you would need separate mods or compatibility layers to display capes from OptiFine, LabyMod, or the MinecraftCapes Mod together. This mod consolidates all those cape backends into one lightweight Fabric or Forge mod, so you only need to install it once and your capes will work automatically.
This mod is ideal for players who have purchased or collected capes from different platforms and want to see them without switching between mods. It is also useful for server administrators who want to allow their community to wear any cape they own, regardless of the original provider, without requiring clients to install multiple cape mods. The mod does not add any new capes itself – it simply reads and displays the capes you already have from the supported sources.
- Multi-source support: Works with OptiFine, LabyMod, and MinecraftCapes Mod out of the box. No extra configuration needed.
- Simple installation: Just drop the mod into your mods folder and launch the game. No setup files or external downloads required.
- Configuration screen: You can disable individual cape sources through the in-game settings if you prefer to use only one provider.
- Fabric and Forge compatible: Choose the version that matches your mod loader. The same features are available on both.
- Lightweight and client-side: The mod runs entirely on the client and has no impact on performance or server interaction. It does not send any data to external servers.
The mod requires Minecraft 1.16.5 or newer and either Fabric Loader or Forge depending on the version you download. It does not require OptiFine, LabyMod, or the MinecraftCapes Mod to be installed – it only needs those services to have your cape data available. Some multiplayer servers may restrict custom textures or capes; if your cape does not appear, check the server’s resource pack or skin settings. This mod is not affiliated with Mojang, OptiFine, LabyMod, or the MinecraftCapes Mod, and support is provided through the project’s GitHub repository.
