Cape

Capes are commemorative items that can be worn in addition to the player's skin. However, unlike skins, players cannot create custom capes or transfer any owned capes to a different account. When equipped, they also change the appearance of worn elytra. Capes are purely decorational, and do not alter the wearers' capabilities in any way.

There are various mods, such as Optifine, that allow players to obtain capes, some even allowing for any custom design to be used. These capes are however not official and only visible to the player using the mod (or, in some cases, other users of that mod). Only official capes, that can be seen by everyone, are listed in this article.

Obtaining

File:MinecraftCapes Profile.png

Minecraft.net cape selection menu

Java Edition

The only capes that can be obtained on one's own, so far, in Template:JE are the migrator cape, which comes from migrating a Mojang account to a Microsoft account, and the vanilla cape, which comes from owning both Template:JE and Template:BE in the same Microsoft account prior to June 6, 2022. The rest cannot be obtained by players through any in-game means and are therefore considerably rarer.

MINECON capes before Minecon Earth 2017 were obtained by attending or buying a ticket to the year's MINECON. Minecraft events from 2017 and onward are done via a livestream available to everyone and no capes are given out anymore. On May 12, 2020, Mojang disabled all unused MINECON cape links used to obtain the capes of years 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2016. Only a few thousand players around the world have a MINECON cape.

Other less common types of capes have manually been given out by Mojang to select few members of the community throughout the years. Some of the people who have those capes include Mojang staff themselves, volunteers in various programs as well as individuals whose impact was recognized by Mojang. Only a few hundred players around the world have such a cape, with some capes being owned by a single individual only.

Players of Template:JE can equip or unequip certain capes for their skin via the Minecraft Launcher or their Minecraft profile.

Bedrock Edition

Unlike Template:JE, in Template:BE, capes are much more common items with skins from various skin packs having capes integrated to them. One skin pack made available to every player is the MINECON 2016 skin pack that contains all five MINECON cape designs from Template:JE up to 2016. A cape celebrating Minecon Live 2019 was available in Template:BE to promote the character creator, though it was obtainable by everyone regardless of whether they watched the event or not. Another cape made available to every player is the pan cape. Players who owned both Template:JE and Template:BE on the same Microsoft account prior to June 6, 2022, were also given the vanilla cape. Some employees also have special capes in Template:BE, similarly to Template:JE.

Players of Template:BE can equip or unequip certain capes for their skin via the character creator.

Mojang has confirmed that a number of unused capes have existed in the Customer Support tool, which have never been shown to the public. Some of them, such as the birthday cape, were first given an owner a long time after they had been made.<ref>https://twitter.com/Marc_IRL/status/1482004621384204290</ref>
