How to Cape mod

[DieselX]

Hello, I would like to make a mod with which I can distribute my own capes to players. The players should be able to see their capes among each other.

So first suggestion, don't use whatever text box you used to format your forum post, it ends up being hard to read.

 

In regards to capes, I do not believe forge provides any support for making capes, as that is reserved for Mojang/Microsoft special stuff. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will chime in and let us know.

But there are mods in which this is possible. Even in current versions. It is no longer possible to change a cape directly via the function, but it must be possible in some other way.

You CAN add capes, but it requires that you create a custom model for the capes and use something like geckolib or another library that allows for wearable items with physics.

You could try to find a tutorial on youtube for custom armor and follow along with that for inspiration in your code

Okay, thanks for the hint.
However, I couldn't find a tutorial for capes. Geckolib's wiki page didn't help me either. Does anyone know how to do this with capes?
