In Minecraft, each user will have an appearance - a skin. By default, the game character takes on the features of the blue-eyed dark-haired "miner" Steve, but you can choose other options and install them. At the same time, many gamers dream not only of gaining a unique appearance, but also of adding one interesting detail to it - a raincoat.
Who gets cloaks in Minecraft?
Such a piece of clothing adds nobility to the character's appearance, making him look like some kind of medieval knight or modern superhero. However, acquiring a cloak in the game is very difficult, and many believe that it is practically unrealistic - at least if it is about absolutely legal methods.
As experienced gamers probably know, such wardrobe details are distributed by Mojang itself - the creator of Minecraft - for certain merits. So, the characters of all employees of the corporation - when they participate in the game - will have cloaks with certain symbols. Some programmers who have had a hand in adding certain options to the game also receive such items of clothing as a gift.
Sometimes from the generosity of the owners of Mojang in this regard, something falls to ordinary gamers. For example, during the Christmas and New Year holidays, players may unexpectedly get cloaks with festive ornaments. True, this kind of pleasure lasts all day. Much longer will be able to wear a raincoat to those who become a participant in the annual "Minecraft" conference - MineCon.
In other cases, it will be unrealistic to acquire such a piece of clothing in the game in an honest way. The only chance for this is to become some kind of anniversary buyer of the licensed version of the game.
Ways to get or craft such a garment
However, with such injustice, many gamers do not want to put up with it and in every possible way are looking for opportunities to show off at least a little in a raincoat in the gameplay. It will be many times easier if we are talking about a single player game, but on multiplayer resources it is not very easy to do this.
In the first case, it will be enough to find out the nickname to which the skin with the cloak is attached. For example, some users succeeded in this regard when registering in the game under the nickname Matthew. However, in multiplayer, such a trick will not work, so you will have to look for other methods.
So, a considerable number of players have mastered the site mccapes.com, where, after registering, they received access to the program for creating a raincoat built into this resource. However, such happiness lasted exactly until August 1, 2014, after which the creators of this portal announced the termination of their project due to the update of the Mojang game and the removal of certain options in it, which previously gave a loophole for installing "raincoat" plugins.
Meanwhile, there are still special mods that add a cloak to the skin of a gamer character in Minecraft. One of these modifications - SMP Capes - generally allows such external metamorphoses even in a multiplayer server. The player just needs to load his cloak or choose a ready-made one, press a couple of buttons - and that's it, his character has found the desired piece of clothing.
Those who want to get a unique wardrobe detail should make it themselves. For these purposes, any graphic editor will do - for example, Paint or Photoshop. There you need to first create a new file and select its dimensions 22 by 17 (width and height, respectively).
Next, take a brush of the smallest size and draw three stripes in a neutral color - two along the edges and one approximately in the middle. The canvas will be divided into two halves, and it will be necessary to draw a cloak on the left.
Here it is worth letting your imagination run wild. You can, for example, depict in a small space the physiognomy of a hostile mob (creeper, zombie, skeleton, ifrit, ghast, etc.), a pet, the symbols of some superhero or landscapes - in short, whatever the gamer wants.
The created file must be re-saved - and must be in the.png
