Wavey Capes
About the Modification
WaveyCapes transforms ordinary capes into dynamic wardrobe elements by adding smooth animations and realistic physics. Instead of a static rectangle, the cape becomes flexible fabric that naturally sways and bends with character movement.
You can customize the appearance and behavior of your cape directly in-game through the configuration menu accessible from the mod list. Various display styles, wind settings, and physical parameters are available for complete personalization.
Since WaveyCapes operates exclusively on the client side and doesn't affect gameplay, it's compatible with any servers without requiring installation on the server side.
