About this Mod

Optifine Capes Reborn

This mod used to be a fork of Capes but is now fully revamped and rewrote from scratch. All the previous builds are still licensed LGPL-2.1-only and have their source code still available in the changelog where you can find a link to the github page.

What the mod does

This mod makes you able to see your and other player's Optifine capes. While still being able to use the vanilla minecraft capes.

How to use

You can preview, edit and toggle your cape in the skin customization tab. You can also preview the Elytra

Old description

This mod is a fork of Capes to only show Optifine capes. The Optifine Cape is showed by default. You can also use your minecraft default cape.
You can disable the cape by turning cape off in the skin customization tab.
You can use the default minecraft cape by going into the small cape icon in the customization tab and choosing minecraft cape.

If you dont have the optifine cape, you can get it here https://optifine.net/donate

I basically made this fork because I don't care about any other capes than the Optifine one or the official ones and having to switch between minecraft and optifine in the menu of Capes mod was annoying because I was seeing these useless capes that no one uses and had to pass thru them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Optifine Capes Reborn need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Optifine Capes Reborn 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 Optifine Capes Reborn require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.3, 26.2, 1.21.11. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Optifine Capes Reborn 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.
