About this Mod

A very simple mod to disable cape handling in older versions of CICADA. This removes the ugly "hi pls update cicada thx!" cape that shows up now.

The mod works by using a mixin to cancel all cape fetching and handling that CICADA does.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does CICADA Cape Fix need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks CICADA Cape Fix as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does CICADA Cape Fix require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.8, 1.21.7, 1.21.6. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

CICADA Cape Fix is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
