Many Minecraft mods can give you a cape. OptiFine is the best mod, even though it's expensive.

OptiFine, a huge Minecraft mod, is a vast overhaul of the game's graphics engine that allows you to optimize the game for your personal computer. This is the most widely used Minecraft mod and an essential tool for anyone who wants to install shaders.

Notable: OptiFine can only be downloaded in Minecraft: Java Edition.

OptiFine allows you to create and wear custom caps in addition to performance improvements. Capes, unlike other mod features, are locked from the beginning.

OptiFine can be downloaded for free, but you will need to donate $10 to unlock your capes. This webpage allows you to donate and select your cape design. Your Minecraft username and email address will be required.

When your cape has become active, it should appear on your character when you next open the game. If your cape is not visible, ensure that you have OptiFine installed. Next, open Options and select Skin Customization. Finally, ensure that Cape is ON.

Important: If you don't have OptiFine installed, other Minecraft players won't be able see your capses. While most Minecraft servers support it some servers may temporarily remove your cape.

Open Minecraft and select Options, Skin Customization, then Open Cape Editor.
