This mod is intended for modpack developers, feel free to use it in your next pack!
You can now add capes with this mod by making a datapack and putting each cape.json inside of
/data/{datapack-id}/cape/{cape_file}.json
A cape json file is comprised of 2 values, here is a small example for the wheat cape:
{
"name": "wheat cape",
"texture": "eclectuscosmetic:textures/cape/wheat_cape.png"
}
Remember to include an elytra texture else the elytra won't show up!
Now the last optional step is a way to unlock the cape, it can be unlocked using the following command:
/unlockcape
and filling the required option that will be recommended.
You can also unlock capes by unlocking an achievement by making a json file in the following path in your datapack:
/data/{datapack-id}/advancement_cape/{cape_file}.json
You need to follow the following schema, here is an example for the wheat cape:
{
"cape": "eclectuscosmetic:wheat",
"advancement": "minecraft:husbandry/plant_seed"
}
Finally, to equip said cape, use the /setcape command.
