Tired of the default Steve and Alex look? TL Skin and Cape Mod lets you upload custom skins and capes directly through TLauncher, giving your character a fully personalized appearance without needing a premium Minecraft account. As a client-side mod, it works quietly in the background — other players using TLauncher verified versions will see your chosen skin, while everyone else sees the default. It supports both Forge and Fabric across a massive range of Minecraft versions, from 1.7.10 all the way up to 1.21.11.
Key Features
- HD Skin Collection — Access a library of high-detail skins with refined design elements that blend naturally with Minecraft's visual style, going well beyond the standard 64×64 resolution options.
- Cape Customization — Choose from a wide variety of capes with elaborate designs. Skins and capes can be set independently, opening up a huge number of mix-and-match combinations to make your character truly unique.
- Animated Capes — An exclusive feature that adds fluid animation to your cape, bringing extra visual flair that static capes simply cannot match.
- Character Gender Selection — Pick your character's gender before launching the game, adding a small but meaningful layer of personalization for multiplayer sessions.
- Broad Version Support — Compatible with Minecraft versions ranging from 1.7.10 to 1.21.11, with both Forge and Fabric support on newer releases.

FAQ
Can other players see my TL Skin and Cape?
Only players using TLauncher verified versions will see your custom skin and cape. Players on the official Minecraft launcher will see the default character model instead.
Does TL Skin and Cape Mod work with Fabric?
Yes, Fabric is supported from Minecraft 1.16.5 onward. You will also need Fabric API installed as a dependency. Older versions (1.7.10–1.15.2) require Forge.
Are the animated capes available on all Minecraft versions?
Animated capes are a feature of the mod itself, so they should be available on any supported version. However, visual quality and animation smoothness may vary depending on your Minecraft version and mod loader.
