[1.15.1] I need help trying to render a cape like layer texture on a BipedModel

[SciPunk]

Hi, I'm making a comic based mod and I've been struggling with rendering something like a cape in the chest, I would like to know how could I add this layer to my armor and make it behave like a cape

 

I'd be grateful for any help

Don't make capes. Mojang declared exclusivity over capes. Make literally any other cosmetic you want.

Just wondering, when did they do that? From all I found in their Terms and Conditions, they only disallow the selling of cape cosmetics, but there's no mention of not being allowed to make mods involving them (as long as they aren't sold).

Thanks for answering

Damn, I guess my mod then will be impossible to complete, what's a batman without a cape lol, is there any other method like just to render a texture at the back of the player?

I hope we are able to use them, I really need those for my mod

I would look at how vanilla does render capes, and learn from it, and write your own renderer for it.

The elytra would also be a place to look (and IMO a batman cape is closer to elytra than a cosmetic).

Thanks and yes will look into elytra!

This is taking longer than I expected all these renderers are getting so confusing if anyone could give me a lead I'd appreciate it
