This resource pack makes it so when a banner is worn in the head slot (via commands) instead of appearing above the head it appears LIKE a 'cape'

It doesn't look like a proper cape, but it is the closest you can get in vanilla minecraft.

Features:

• No mods required
• Works multiplayer (as long as each player has the resource pack or is the server supplied pack)
• 1.8+

Downsides of this method:

• Players can't have helmets and 'capes' at the same time
• Since it is attached to the head, it will stick out if player looks down

Note: I have removed the pole from the banner so when placed on the ground it will appear to be floating


Edit: I plan to make an updated version soon after the first 1.9 snapshots are released (When they add custom entity models)

Planned changes once custom entity models/animations are out:

• Display pole for banners when placed on ground
• Make it look more capelike ONLY when worn/held
• Animation?

AS FAR AS I KNOW THIS IS FINE WITH THE NEW EULA as technically the 'capes' are still actually banners

Edit: Changed file host to dropbox

Wow, that's a really interesting idea!

I'd love to see a mod that expands on this.

I was surprised how easy it was to do this, I am waiting for the custom entity models feature coming in 1.9 so I can do some cool stuff and hopefully make the 'capes' way cooler!



And I was considering making a simple mod to expand on this, but have no idea how

This is awesome. Thank you! Can someone post the command to wear the banner?

Sweet

Can someone post the command to wear the banner?

Planet minecraft has a banner generator program which you can design the banner in copy the code from the Export JSON button and combine with this command:

/replaceitem entity @p slot.armor.head banner 1 0 <Pattern tag>

Example cape (Golden Mojang Cape): /replaceitem entity @p slot.armor.head banner 1 0 {BlockEntityTag:{Base:14,Patterns:[{Pattern:gra,Color:11},{Pattern:moj,Color:15}]}}

Note this command may be too long to use in the chat so may require use of a command block.

I have an idea. You can edit the banner solely when its on your head, so would it be possible to size it down to (around) 10w x 16h?

Something around those lines >.>

{
"parent": "builtin/entity",
"display": {
"head": {
"rotation": [ ],
"translation": [ 0, -6, 3.5 ],
"scale": [ 1.14, 1.14, 1.14 ]
}
}
}

I'll have a play around later see if I can make them look better

Did you place the file in your resourcepack folder?

Sure, I can post the codes for a few capes, which one(s) were you wanting?

How Do You Put Capes On?

/replaceitem entity PlayerName slot.armor.head banner 1 0 {Banner NBT code}

eg:

/replaceitem entity PlayerName slot.armor.head banner 1 0 {BlockEntityTag:{Base:14,Patterns:[{Pattern:gra,Color:11},{Pattern:moj,Color:15}]}}

use this code: /replaceitem entity @p slot.armor.head minecraft:banner 1 0 {BlockEntityTag:{Base:10,Patterns:[{Pattern:cre,Color:0},{Pattern:bts,Color:14}]}}
