About this project

What does Cape Over Elytra add?

Cape Over Elytra

Cape Over Elytra is a lightweight client-side Fabric mod that lets you choose how your cape behaves while wearing an elytra.

It includes two visual modes available through Mod Menu:

  • Cape Over Elytra: keeps your cape visible by hiding the rendered elytra model
  • Cape Unless Flying: keeps your cape visible while wearing an elytra, but shows the elytra again while you are fall-flying

This mod is made for players who want better cape visibility without changing gameplay or requiring anything on the server.

Tested on Minecraft capes and OptiFine capes.

Features

  • Two cape behavior modes: Cape Over Elytra and Cape Unless Flying
  • Optional Mod Menu support for changing the setting in-game
  • Client-side only, so servers do not need to install it
  • Simple visual-only change with no gameplay impact
  • Lightweight and focused on one job only
