 Description   

The bug

Whenever a player wearing a cape rides a pig moving at a velocity higher than stationary, the cape will glitch out and spin wildly around to random locations on the player's body.

Fixed for horses, not fixed for pigs (as of 17w50a)

Comment by [Mod] bemoty [ 06/Aug/17 ]

Can confirm for 1.12 and 1.12.1.

Comment by Justin White [ 16/Dec/16 ]

Confirmed cape drifting in 1.11.

Is this still a problem in Minecraft 1.11?

Comment by Galaxy_2Alex [ 26/Sep/16 ]

Behavior has slightly changed during the latest versions. On Singleplayer, riding with a pig seems to be working fine with a cape, with a horse, it makes the cape drift to the left. I am currently unable to test for Multiplayer, but this issue still exists to a certain extent.

confirmed for 14w32b

Also happens with horses in 13w16a Snapshot.

1.5 and 13w11a.

I have a Crowdin Translator cape and I can make a video of this.
