This project is now discontinued, meaning I will no longer be updating/adding any capes/playermodels to the repository. Local mode will still work (loading from the capes/playermodels folder next to the program), and any capes/playermodels already in this repository will still work.
If you wish for your cape/playermodel to be removed from this repository, please let me know by submitting an issue.
This is a program that lets you customise OptiFine capes and give yourself custom player models.
The program first loads capes from your local capes folder. If no cape is found, it checks for one in this github repository. If still no cape is found, it will check for an official optifine cape. Finally, if no OptiFine cape is found, it loads a default cape file (Currently the migration cape).
To use a custom cape, put your cape texture in the capes folder next to the program file, and rename it to match your Minecraft username. Please note that capes must also contain the elytra texture.
Playermodels are loaded from the playermodels folder next to the program folder. See this folder for examples of correct formatting.
DISCLAIMER, these changes are purely client side, and no one else can see them.
If you want your cape added to this github repository, so that other people using this program can see it, then join my Discord Server and send your cape and username in the #custom-capes channel.
Start by downloading the program from here
To use this, you need to edit your hosts file.
Start by opening Notepad.exe in Administrator mode. You can do this by searching it in the windows seach bar, right clicking it, and selecting Run as Administrator
From Notepad, go to File->Open and open the file C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts
If you cannot see the file, make sure that All Files (*.*) is selected in the bottom right corner.
Next, add 127.0.0.1 s.optifine.net to the bottom of the file, and save the file.
Finally, run ipconfig /flushdns in command prompt and then you are done!
Just launch the downloaded program to begin. If it looks like nothing happens when you run it, you can check in task manager to see if it is running in the background.
If a player does not have a cape set, they will have a default cape applied.
In the settings.json, you can define a custom directory to load default capes from.
If there are multiple textures in the default cape directory, players will be given a random one.
Full instructions in the settings.json file.
If the custom default directory is set to resource-pack, it will load the default capes from assets/minecraft/textures/capes of the current top loaded resource-pack.
If no capes are found in a resource pack, it will load them from a folder called capes/default located next to the program file.
If a player doesn't have a custom player model set, they will load the default custom player model. This is disabled by default but can be enabled in the settings.json. A custom default player model can be set by putting the same files as the default player model found here
If you want to make this program start with Windows and run in the background, so you don't have to launch it every time you play Minecraft, start by copying the downloaded program file.
Next navigate to the folder C:/Users/<user>/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Start-up , right click, and select Paste shortcut.
If you want to disable the notifications that show whenever you start the program, open the settings.json file and change notifications from true to false.
If you do not have a settings.json file, run the program once and it will appear.
To uninstall this, you need to open your hosts file again and remove 127.0.0.1 s.optifine.net
