Vermeil v0.6.7

0.6.7

Added

• In-game custom capes: your local custom cape now renders in-game through the Vermeil companion mod, installed automatically for supported instances.
• Cape support across Minecraft 1.8.9 (Forge), 1.21–1.21.1, 1.21.11, and 26.1–26.2.
• Animated custom capes (GIF/APNG/WebP) play both in the cape editor and in-game.
• Custom cape editor: position and scale your art, pick a resolution up to HD, set a background color, and preview the cape as an unfolded net.
• A single in-game cape toggle that stays in sync across supported instances, with click-to-equip from the Skins screen.
• Instance cards show a badge when the companion mod supports that instance.

Changed

• Launcher data is now stored in your local app data directory instead of the roaming profile.

Fixed

• Custom capes render crisp at the resolution you choose, matching the editor preview.
• Browse search retries transient network failures instead of showing an error.
• The game window reliably comes to the front on launch, even when it isn't maximized.

Vermeil companion mod v0.1.6

Companion mod jars for the in-game cape feature. Installed automatically by the launcher; not meant to be downloaded by hand.

Vermeil v0.6.6 EXPERIMENTAL

0.6.6

Added

• In-game custom capes now work on Minecraft 1.21.11.

Fixed

• Animated custom capes now render at the resolution you choose instead of always looking low-res.
• The cape editor caps animated capes at ×8 so the preview matches what renders in-game.

Vermeil v0.6.5 EXPERIMENTAL

0.6.5

Fixed

• In-game capes render at full resolution again, matching the launcher preview.
• Instances that already have the companion mod now update to newer mod builds automatically.

Vermeil v0.6.4 EXPERIMENTAL

0.6.4

Added

• Instance cards show a badge when the Vermeil companion mod (in-game capes) supports that instance.

Changed

• Selecting a custom cape applies it in-game right away and confirms it, and a launch notice tells you whether the companion mod installed.

Fixed

• In-game HD capes no longer shimmer at a distance.
• Custom cape selection stays in sync when reopening Skins, and resolution edits now apply in-game.

Vermeil v0.6.3 EXPERIMENTAL

0.6.3

Changed

• Selecting a custom cape now enables it in-game directly (no separate toggle), and the selection stays in sync when you reopen Skins.

Fixed

• In-game custom cape renders crisp instead of blurry.
• Custom cape now shows in-game even when the account has a Mojang cape.

Vermeil v0.6.2 EXPERIMENTAL

0.6.2

Added

• In-game custom capes now work on Minecraft 1.21.1 (Fabric), alongside 26.x.

Fixed

• In-game cape renders in full instead of only the top half.
• Animated in-game capes no longer fail to load at high resolutions or long loops.

Vermeil v0.6.1 EXPERIMENTAL

0.6.1

Changed

• In-game custom capes now install the companion mod automatically for supported Fabric and Quilt instances on Minecraft 26.1.x / 26.2 — the launcher downloads the matching, hash-verified mod jar into the instance on launch, so there's no more placing a jar by hand. Toggling the cape off removes it again. Still experimental while it matures.

Vermeil v0.6.0 EXPERIMENTAL

0.6.0

Added

• Custom cape editor — create local capes from your own images, positioned and previewed on the 3D model in the skin viewer.
• Animated custom capes (GIF, APNG, WebP) that play in the skin viewer.
• Cape resolution picker, from standard up to HD.
• Experimental: in-game custom capes via the Vermeil companion mod (Fabric, Minecraft 26.1.x and 26.2), toggled with "Show in-game" on the Skins screen. Experimental for now — it requires the companion mod to be installed manually; automatic install isn't available yet.

Changed

• Launcher data now lives in your local app data (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Vermeil on Windows, ~/.local/share/Vermeil on Linux) instead of the roaming profile.

Fixed

• Browse search retries transient Modrinth and CurseForge failures instead of surfacing an error toast.
• The game window is brought to the front on launch even when it isn't maximized.
• Several custom cape editor rendering fixes: face wrapping, nearest-neighbour filtering, animated frame decoding, background handling, and the resolution dropdown overflow.

Vermeil companion mod mod-v0.1.5
