My mod will be updated to later versions of minecraft when a recommended / stable version of forge for that version is released.

You are allowed to use this mod in any modpack, even if it is public or private.

Downloads will be located on https://advancedcapes.nl.

When you have this mod installed you can either change the cape URL in your config, or you can go into your world and press V (By default).

If you press V something like this will pop up:


In this window you can simply put the url of the cape you desire. (URL must begin with either http:// or https:// and must end with .png)
If you are done typing or pasting the URL for your desired cape you can simply press "Set URL" and your cape will be updated.

Thanks for the info!

Edit: Well, i tried to use your mod, but when i pressed the key to open the cape gui i ran with this crash. According with VanillaFix the it was AdvancedCapes fault. Log: https://paste.dimdev.org/jepitoceha.txt

Illegal mod! I don't care about it! So much people will be happy!

Quote from Jellx320»

Also, I have a suggestion to make it compatible with Optifine (if possible, because you put it on incompatibility list). It just doesn't allow the cape to show for some reason, and I'm sure that a lot of people would appreciate if you can do it...

I'm currently working on a rewrite of the mod, and hopefully optifine support.

I'm clicking C and V and I don't see any window!

1. what forge version do you have?

2. what advancedcapes version do you have?

3. are the keys conflicting with other mods?

What a load of crap getting a cape from minecon is. It doesn't even come to my country and do they honestly think i'm going to travel half way around the world just for a cape? I don't think so. EULA or not i'm downloading this. How well does it render with a chestplate and backpack plus spear and sheild on my back anyway?

I have a few questions...does this mod still work? Will i get in trouble( I thought it was illegal.) Last but not least how can I show my love for this mod


LAST THING...you do still plan to update when possible right? 1.7 is good and all but sooner or later there will be very few 1.7 servers...sad to see it go...Microsoft better not ruin it

every time i try to run it in multiplayer it crashed

is it a bug

Love the mod, just a few notes:

One this is kinda against something Mojang outright said you shouldn't do, and just because anyone can have doesn't mean it's OK

Quote from Owen Hill - Director of Creative Communications, Mojang

[...] There is one exception to this rule - capes! We have a lot of fun making cool capes for extra-special members of our community and Minecon attendees. We’d like to keep them as exclusive as possible. So, yeah, no capes please, even if you're giving them away for free.

Source:https://mojang.com/2014/06/lets-talk-server-monetisation/

For the exact quote on this from the EULA:

• sell cosmetic items, except for "Capes", IF the item sold does not give a user an unfair gameplay advantage over anyone else on the server - i.e there can be no "pay to win".
• sell positive effects or enhancements (other than "Capes") IF everyone on the server is positively affected in exactly the same way.

Source: https://account.mojang.com/terms#brand

While this was specifically talking about servers this is kinda a universal rule in everything related to Mojang and capes.

For people who might say "well Optifine does their capes" Optifine is also not allowed to do their capes, as all capes are a no no, just sp614x doesn't give a ****. Need evidence: Just read this thread of tweets: https://twitter.com/notch/status/476477273424789504

Now that said Mojang does kinda have this weird unspoken "blind eye" policy related to capes and mods that just render them on everyone, in that mods like this, well they just turn a blind eye to them unless an issue comes up.

That should cover all the legalities of this mod I know people will be questioning. This mod is TECHNICALLY not allowed, but Mojang will probably ignore it more or less.
