    I'm suggesting we add capes as a donation feature for something around $15 - $25
    My thoughts were that the design could be a netherstar on some different color backgrounds, like red, blue, green, purple, or even the ability to design your color of background by mixing colors or something. But a netherstar seems simple and something that is a huge part of our economy.
    Originally I was going to suggest the capes saying EcoCityCraft, but the reason that I think a netherstar would be good is that in case you play on other servers it's not considered advertising. Optifine gives capes for donating to it, why can't we make capes for donating as well? (We could even ask annyonion to design capes if we wanted to...)

    Post your thoughts down below.

    not possible, capes are something only mojang (or a client-side mod) can add.

    Mojang doesn't want capes added.

    Exactly, Optifine is a client side mod.

    Mojang has specifically asked servers not to sell capes.

    Highlighting mine:

    https://mojang.com/2014/06/lets-talk-server-monetisation-the-follow-up-qa/

    So how do I make real money from selling cosmetic items?You can sell cosmetic items for hard currency directly or allow players to fund an “account” specific to your server. It’s up to the host of the server to decide how this works. Remember that capes are the exception to this rule – you are not allowed to give them away or sell them.
