Troubleshoot a Cape Not Appearing

Check Configuration Syntax

Open config/cape-provider.json5 and verify:

  • The file is valid JSON5 format (no syntax errors)
  • Your UUID or username is spelled correctly
  • The cape URL is complete and accessible
  • At least one provider is enabled (true)

Verify the Cape Image

  • Test the URL in your browser to confirm it loads
  • Ensure the image is PNG format and exactly 64×32 pixels
  • Check that the file isn't corrupted

Restart and Clear Cache

1. Save your config changes

2. Close Minecraft completely

3. Delete the mod's cache folder if one exists (check mod documentation)

4. Relaunch Minecraft

Check Account Format

Confirm you're using the correct identifier:

  • For UUID: use the full UUID without dashes (or with dashes, depending on provider)
  • For username: use your exact Minecraft username
  • Some providers only accept one format

If issues persist, verify the provider service itself is online and hasn't changed its API.
