Description

Cape Pass is a plugin that allows you to use official Minecraft capes as an access pass to join and play on your server.

Default message the kicked player

When a player connects, the plugin retrieves their profile from the Mojang Session Server and extracts the hash of the cape they are wearing. It then compares the retrieved hash against the list of allowed capes defined in the plugin's configuration. If a match is found, the player is allowed to join; otherwise, the connection is refused.

This means official capes can become more than just cosmetic items. They can represent membership in a specific group of players, a VIP community, a clan, or a team; serve as a mark of trust, or grant access to private events and servers reserved for owners of specific capes.

As a result, a player's cape can define not only their style, but also which doors are open to them.
