How to Equip, Glide, and Trigger Cape Animations

Batman capes function as direct replacements for vanilla Elytra wings, combining flight mechanics with custom movement animations.

Equipping the Cape

To wear a cape, open your player inventory and place your chosen Batman cape into the Chestplate armor slot, just as you would with a standard pair of Elytra wings. Once equipped, the standard wing model is replaced by a large, flowing superhero cape on your character's back.

Gliding and Movement Animations

The cape reacts automatically to how your character moves through the world without needing extra keybinds:

• Walking: As you walk or run on the ground, the cape flows behind your character.
• Crouching: Hold your sneak/crouch key while standing or moving on the ground to make the cape spread out wide around your body.
• Gliding: Jump while falling from a height and press the jump key again in mid-air to initiate a glide, using the exact same controls as a vanilla Elytra. While gliding through the air, the cape spreads out and flaps in the wind.
