Talk:Cape

Client Mods
This page says that capes are implemented via mods. Isn't an adjustment related to the way things look implemented via resourse pack? 71.212.10.80 22:25, 4 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Normally, yes. However, in the case of capes, resource packs can't add them (generally, resource packs are unable to tweak player skins), and thus a mod is needed to have it check for a custom cape. --Pokechu22 (talk) 23:33, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Mapmaker vs Contributor
There's been some fighting about which the correct name is for that cape. In all cases on the atlas.minecraft.net article, "Mapmaker cape" is used; however, on namemc, "Realms contributor" is used.

Given that namemc isn't an official site (I'm only including it in the references section because it's a lot more approachable to seeing who has it than the texture API), it probably shouldn't be the source for the name. The name isn't found in any of the official APIs (well, we could call it the 43a51d34b076f9ada555dca562206bd942e46a3c4d5f83c2c29e5b9c3d7dbcb cape, but... you can see why that isn't a good idea).

However, it's possible that the name is found elsewhere (maybe on the mojang profile page). So if the name is found anywhere, it would be useful to know. Also, I'm going to contact namemc and see where they're getting that name from (because as far as I know, there isn't an API to get all capes owned by a player, yet they do so..., so there may be something I'm missing).

Pings:, , etc.

 * Looking at the site now, it calls the cape "Realms Mapmaker", and that is the name used on the Minecraft website, so I would go with "Mapmaker" – KnightMiner  t/c 04:24, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
