VIP Capes

VIP Capes is a lightweight client/server-side mod that allows server owners to assign custom capes to players.

Capes are loaded directly from the config folder and automatically synced from the server to clients, so no resource packs are required.

Each player can be managed individually using simple commands and permission nodes, making it ideal for VIP systems, events and special rewards. 

Features:

• Custom per-player capes
• Automatic cape syncing in multiplayer (PNG capes are not required in client-side folders)
• No resource packs required
• Permission-based command system
• Config-based cape storage
• Works on servers and in singleplayer

Where to get capes?

1. A wide selection of .PNG capes can be found HERE

Installation:

2. Place the vipcapes.jar file into your mods folder

3. Start the server/client at least once to generate config (The default cape "example.png" will be created after first launch in config/vipcapes/capes)
