Cape Movement > "Simulation" physics is weird about waveycapes HOT 7 CLOSED

Oh that. The cape "simulation" is a reaaaally basic "stick simulation" (from https://youtu.be/PGk0rnyTa1U?t=315 ) that basically knows nothing about the outside world. So the cape won't interact with blocks, the player head, other entities etc. (this is also the reason the cape is calculated as a 2d object) There is a reason that a really 100% good physics cape is $10 a month (https://minecraftphysicsmod.com/pro), this is just a hobby developer alternative to this^^. Making the cape react to the arms/head/blocks would take a looooot of time.

There is nothing wrong in that video? You have enabled that the cape has waves in it the entire time, so it has waves in it while falling too.

What I'm stating isn't about the wavy cape, it's the "Simulaton", the cape having weird physics with this option, when falling down it just clipping through the playerhead

Even turning that wavy cape off, the cape still seems to clip

The only input the simulation has is the players relative movement, and the only constraint it has is that it can't flop to the front of the player + a tiny bit of stiffness so it can't fully fold into itself.

ah, understood, this is my first time ever seen this "simulation", kinda misunderstanding it as "bug". 👀

Personally, I fully expected this issue to be about the only "real bug" where I'm currently still stuck on how to handle it correctly, that is getting the cape over your head like this, and then moving backward. The cape is not allowed to overrotate to get in front of the camera, due to the stiffness it can't just fall down into itself, so it does stay up and glitches around a bit. No clue how to handle that yet.
