Wavey Capes Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open the Wavey Capes config screen?
Open the mod list from the main menu or pause screen, select Wavey Capes, and click the config button. You can also reach it through your mod loader's config menu if it provides one.
Why is my cape still stiff after installing Wavey Capes?
Make sure the mod is actually enabled and that you have a cape equipped on your account, since the mod only animates an existing cape. Also check that the cape style isn't set to a minimal option and that your config file hasn't been reset.
What's the difference between Simulation V2, Simulation, Classic, and Dungeons cape styles?
Simulation V2 is the default with dynamic side-to-side sway, Simulation is the older physics model, Classic adds only a simple bend, and Dungeons mimics the cape behavior from Minecraft Dungeons. Try each one in-game to see which feel you prefer.
Does Wavey Capes work on multiplayer servers?
Yes, it's a client-side mod, so it works on any server without being installed there. Other players won't see your cape waving unless they also have the mod.
Will Wavey Capes get me banned on servers?
It's purely visual and doesn't change gameplay, so it's generally allowed on servers that permit client-side cosmetic mods. Check your server's rules if you're unsure, since some strict servers restrict any client mods.
How do I stop my cape from clipping into my body or elytra?
Switch to a cape style with better bend handling, like Simulation V2, and adjust the bend or stiffness settings in the config. Reducing how far the cape swings can also cut down on clipping.
Why does my cape look weird or stiff underwater?
Wavey Capes has reworked underwater physics, so check that you're on a style that supports it and that no config option is overriding water behavior. If it still looks off, try a different cape style to compare.
Does Wavey Capes hurt my FPS?
The performance impact is small since it only affects cape rendering, but lower-end machines may notice a slight drop. If you're worried, turn down cape-related quality options in the config.
Can I use Wavey Capes with other cape mods or cosmetics mods?
It can conflict with mods that also control cape rendering, since both may try to animate the same cape. If you see glitches, disable cape animation in one of the mods or check for a compatibility option.
How do I make my cape swing more or less?
Open the config and adjust the sway, bend, or stiffness options to change how much the cape moves. Higher sway gives a looser, more flowing cape, while lower values keep it closer to your back.
