the cape animation in bedrock edition does not match java edition. Here is a video example:
https://youtu.be/vI9lfKiUHXc
you can see that moving side to side, strafing backwards, jumping up and down all have an affect on the cape's movement. it even oscillates a bit when moving.
bedrock edition's cape animation, on the other hand, is very sloppy and lazily made.

you can see the difference between the two. player movement only changes the cape's rotation when going forward. After doing some testing, the main query responsible for the cape's animation is `query.cape_flap_amount' which only returns nonzero when the player is moving forward on a relative axis.
Here is an animation that attempts to correct the animation for the capes to be in parity with java. It looks near identical, but its not perfect:
{
"format_version": "1.8.0",
"animations": {
"animation.player.cape": {
"loop": true,
"bones": {
"cape": {
"position": [ 0, "query.get_root_locator_offset('armor_offset.default_neck', 1)", 0 ],
"rotation": [ "math.clamp(-31.5 * (query.cape_flap_amount * 4.0) - math.sin(query.modified_distance_moved * 50.0) * 3.1 - 5.0, -180.0, -7.4)", "query.is_in_ui ? 0.0 : (query.modified_move_speed - query.cape_flap_amount) * math.sin(query.body_y_rotation - query.head_y_rotation(0)) * 38.0", "query.is_in_ui ? 0.0 : (query.modified_move_speed - query.cape_flap_amount) * math.sin(query.body_y_rotation - query.head_y_rotation(0)) * -31.5"
]
}
}
}

@EVGENSYPERPRO I consider it a bug. the animation doesnt make sense physically. moving from side to side should cause the cape to sway the opposite motion. Here I have presented a quite literally copy-and-pasteable animation fix for the bug. even if it doesnt meet "java parity" criteria (which I did not specifically class this as), it takes 1 second to fix if developers are content with the animation I have presented.
@unknown
I totally agree with you! However, then describe your problem better as an error, and not as parity with Java) Perhaps this error will be corrected (I will be glad), however, for better success, it is better to indicate it not as parity but as an error)
@evgensyperpro you dont need to touch the geometry. just put this in a file in a folder called "animations" at the root of a resource pack
You reported a parity issue. We are only tracking parity issues that meet the following criteria on this bug tracker:
The feature affected by the parity issue is present in both Bedrock Edition and Java Edition in the latest release or development version
The feature behaves differently in one edition than in the other
The parity issue was introduced in Buzzy Bees (Bedrock Edition 1.14 / Java Edition 1.15) or later and was not present before
Any parity issue that does not meet these criteria are not tracked on the bug tracker and should instead be reported on the Feedback website.
