Wavey Capes (Legacy)

A faithful backport of Wavey Capes for Minecraft 1.7.10.

Wavey Capes (Legacy) replaces Minecraft's static cape rendering with smooth physics-based cape movement, bringing modern cape animations to the legacy Minecraft experience.

Instead of remaining stiff and motionless, capes react naturally to player movement, creating a more dynamic and immersive appearance while preserving the look and feel of vanilla Minecraft.

Because the mod is entirely client-side, it does not need to be installed on servers and works seamlessly in both singleplayer and multiplayer.
