Add Mojang Capes

[navarr]

Feature Request to add a Cape API to Minotar.

Was going to write up a PR but I know nothing about Go :(

How do you suggest displaying the capes? What endpoints do you want?

[LukeHandle]

Just found these:

Old: http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftCloaks/Notch.png
New: http://skins.minecraft.net/MinecraftCloaks/Notch.png

(though they seem to return a Scrolls cloak even if the user should not have one...)

What would be the point of this API? What would we be returning?

A simple /cloaks/ which returns the cloak if exists? How useful is this?

I think this is a good idea..
@LukeHandle Notch has a Scrolls cape because of some scrolls event happening, not sure what exactly..

[LukeHandle]

I was puzzled because Notch returned:

but likewise, so did my username and a few others I tested. I am not sure this can be trusted...

edit: I re-read your reply @MisterFixx, I should have seen you mention "scrolls event".

[navarr]

No, it can be trusted... Mojang has given everyone scrolls capes for the next two days to promote the release of Scrolls 1.0...

[LukeHandle]

Ahahahahaha. Shows when I last went in-game.

[navarr]

Well, I mean. It only happened 5 hours ago :p
