Minecraft Cape Maker
Design your own Minecraft cape and elytra: paint the 64×32 cape texture while a 3D player wears it, start from one of twelve designs, then download the .png or an elytra texture pack. Free, in your browser, with nothing uploaded.
What you can do
- Paint the 64×32 cape texture with part outlines: the outside of the cape (what people see behind you), its inside and edges, and both faces of the elytra.
- The skin editor’s tools: pencil, eraser, fill, eyedropper, lines, shapes, lighten and darken, noise, selection and mirror painting, with undo.
- A live 3D player wears it as a cape or as elytra, standing, walking, running or flying. Pick one of your own skins to see them together.
- Start from twelve designs (stripes, night sky, flames, a heart…) or open a cape
.png: 64×32, HD 128×64 and larger, or OptiFine’s 46×22. - Copy the cape onto the elytra in one click, then change it if you like.
- Download the cape
.png, or an elytra texture pack: a.zipfor Java 1.9 and newer or a Bedrock.mcpack. - Wear it in the skin editor’s pose maker, pose your skin and save a picture.
How to make a cape
- Start from a design, or paint the empty template. The big face on the left is the outside of the cape, the one people see behind you.
- Paint the inside and the edges too, then press Copy cape onto elytra, or paint the elytra faces yourself.
- Turn the 3D player around, switch between Cape and Elytra and try the flying animation.
- Download the

What custom capes can and can’t do
Java Edition: the game only shows official capes from Mojang, chosen in the Minecraft Launcher or on minecraft.net. You can’t upload your own picture there. A custom cape needs a mod or client with its own cape service, and only players using the same mod see it.
Bedrock Edition: capes are Character Creator items you earn or get with official packs. skins.json can name a cape, but Mojang’s skin pack guide doesn’t list that field, and Mojang’s own pack checker reports a cape in any skin pack that isn’t Mojang’s as an error. So the skin pack maker leaves capes out.
No mods: a texture pack can change how the elytra looks, on Java 1.9 and newer and on Bedrock. Everyone using the pack sees your design. Players who wear a cape show the cape’s design on their elytra instead.
Questions
Can I get a custom cape without mods?
Not as a cape: Java Edition only shows official capes from Mojang, and Bedrock capes are Character Creator items. What works without mods is the elytra: download the elytra texture pack and everyone who uses it sees your design.
How do I wear a custom cape on Java?
With a mod or client that has its own cape service and takes a cape picture: upload the .png there. Only players with the same mod see it. OptiFine capes come with a donation and are designed from banner patterns on OptiFine’s website, so a picture can’t be used for them.
Can I add a custom cape to a Bedrock skin pack?
Not one that Mojang supports. skins.json can name a cape, but that field is missing from Mojang’s skin pack guide, and Mojang’s own pack checker reports a cape in any skin pack that isn’t Mojang’s as an error. That is why the skin pack maker leaves capes out.
What size is a Minecraft cape?
A 64×32 PNG. The cape uses the top-left 22×17 pixels (the 10×16 outside and inside, the edges, top and bottom) and the elytra the 24×22 area next to it. HD capes are multiples such as 128×64; OptiFine uses 46×22.
Is my cape uploaded anywhere?
No. It is painted and saved in your browser, and the files are made on your device.
