📋 About This Mod
This mod disables cape shadows in-game. It is meant to be used with the model swap mods that disable individual capes, such as this one. By default, these "invisible cape mods" only impact the cape model and not actually the shadow. This mod fixes that, letting you enjoy the best of both worlds.
Screenshots illustrate the difference on before and after using this mod with an invisible cape mod.
If you would like to disable all capes (including their shadows) in the game, you can simply refer to my other mod. This mod is only for cape shadows.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says: kills cape shadows so you can rock an invisible cape without visual glitches.
- Solid community trust with 345 endorsements and over 14k downloads.
- Tiny utility mod that's easy to slot into your load order without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects shadows, not the cape model itself—you'll need a separate mod for full invisibility.
- May conflict with other mods that alter cape rendering or shadows.
