Client Custom Capes
Transform your Minecraft experience with fully customizable player capes!
This client-side mod fundamentally changes how capes work in Minecraft, giving you complete control over which players display capes and what designs they use. Unlike traditional cape systems, our solution offers detailed customization without requiring server modifications or special permissions.
