How would I go about coding a custom cape?

[endershadow]

I made an API for your Developer cape needs. It uses a txt file that has all the usernames you need in it. The txt file is hosted on a server like dropbox. The capes are also hosted there, and all the groups and urls are given in the txt file. Don't worry if that sounds complicated, a sample is given on the GitHub.

It works. I'm using it in my mod.

I don't want to be mean, but it looks like a pretty wasteful solution. I might have overlooked something, but it seems like the api in every tick is iterating over all players and doing stuff. The original code is looking for cloaks only once after entity is spawned.

yes its true that it checks all entities every tick

it can be done via ASM library to only process entities once, just like the original method does. I have it implemented, you can take a look - https://github.com/mnn/jaffas/tree/master/src/minecraft/monnef/core/asm. it's a bit more work, but I don't want to stress cpu (potentially lowering fps) of players of my mod more that it's actually needed.

You guys are morons.

There is in no way a need to edit any baseclasses or make an API

extending renderplayer is more then enough, calling it in the proxies.

 

now someone please close this topic, best answer is given.
