Craftable Leather Cape for Enhanced Mobility and Protection

Dear Mojang Studios,

Greetings!

I would like to suggest adding a craftable Cape item to Minecraft. Players could craft this Cape by placing 5 pieces of leather on a crafting table in the following pattern:

• Middle column (all three slots)

• Left-middle and left-bottom slots

The crafted Cape would occupy the chestplate slot, similar to the Elytra, and have a brown color. It would provide 2.5 armor points, reduce fall damage by 25%, and increase sprinting speed by 10%.

Additionally, this Cape could be combined with patterned banners on a Loom to create custom-designed Capes. When equipped, the crafted Cape would temporarily override the player’s account-bound Cape design.

If you consider this a valuable addition to the game, I kindly request that my account be granted a unique Cape as recognition for this suggestion.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Sincerely,
