Emissive Cape Portals Shaders FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I get my movie cape to glow with this pack?
Emissive Cape Portals runs as a core shader, which Minecraft loads through the resource pack system. Enable it in your Resource Packs menu, then wear one of the movie capes that has a portal design. The portal shapes on the cape will light up on their own.
Which capes does this work on?
It only affects the movie capes that have portal designs on them. The pack lights up those portal shapes specifically, so other capes will look exactly the same as before.
Does the glow actually show up in the dark?
Yes, that's the main point of the pack. The portal design stays bright even in unlit caves or at night, so your cape stands out when the area around you is dark.
Why isn't my cape glowing?
First make sure the pack is enabled and you're wearing a movie cape with a portal design, since other capes aren't changed. Then check that no resource pack above it in your list replaces the same shader files. If you're using a separate shader loader, turn its shaders off, because many of them replace the game's built-in shaders and can stop this pack from applying.
Will this change how blocks, items, or the rest of the game look?
No. It keeps the vanilla style and only makes the portal shapes on movie capes glow. Blocks, items, and everything else look the same as normal.
Is this a heavy shader pack like the ones that add shadows and water reflections?
No. It's a small core shader tweak that only adds the glow to cape portals. It doesn't add lighting overhauls or other visual effects.
Will Emissive Cape Portals lower my FPS?
It's a small file that loads quickly and is designed not to slow your game down. You shouldn't notice a performance hit from it.
Can I use this together with my other resource packs?
Usually yes, since it only touches the cape portal glow. If another pack also changes the game's core shaders, the two may conflict. Try moving Emissive Cape Portals higher in the pack list, or temporarily disable the other pack to find the cause.
Can other players see my cape glowing?
The glow is a visual effect that happens on your own game. It shows up on your screen, and other players will only see it if they have the pack enabled too.
How do I turn the glow off again?
Open the Resource Packs menu and move Emissive Cape Portals back to the available list, then click Done. Your movie cape will go back to its normal, non-glowing look.
