'''Capes''' are commemorative items that are worn on the back of the player. Compared to skins, capes cannot be custom-made and have to be earned. They are also locked into your respective account and cannot be transferred. Players can earn capes by playing, participating, or attending on certain events, and some are earned by contributing something to the game. Wearing a cape changes the appearance of a worn [[elytra]], fitting the look of the respective cape. Capes are purely cosmetic and do not alter any gameplay.

Unlike skins, capes cannot be custom-made and have to be earned. In addition, they cannot be transferred between accounts. Some capes can be earned through various promotions, while other capes are not available to the general public.
Various mods offer third-party capes for players. However, these capes are only visible to players with those respective mods installed usually. Only official capes that are stored in Mojang Studios' database are featured below, alongside Marketplace capes and April Fools' capes.

All capes available to the public can only be obtained through limited-time promotions, with [[The Pan Cape!|one exception]]. Capes cannot be obtained after their respective promotions end.


Some types of promotions that distribute capes are social media campaigns and [[Bedrock Edition]] [[event servers]]. In-person events, although rare, may also grant capes. Modern capes are often distributed to both editions of the game, although logging into Bedrock Edition has been required to activate some such capes in [[Java Edition]].<ref>https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/31550001045773-Get-Minecraft-Java-Edition-Capes-before-Promotion-End-Dates</ref>

{{IN|JE}}, capes can either be equipped on the Skin creation menu in the [[Minecraft Launcher]], or in the Profile Page on the [[Minecraft.net|Minecraft website]]. Some capes have been given to all players who fulfilled certain criteria. Many of these capes are tied to events and can only be obtained within specific time frames.

For about a decade after the introduction of capes in 2010, Java Edition capes could be split into five groups:
Other capes were manually given out to players in the community throughout the years. Some players who have suggested certain features have been awarded with capes based on their suggestion, and these capes are typically owned by a single player only. Mojang employees are also given capes, with older employees owning older versions of the capes. Volunteers in various programs (such as [[bug tracker]] moderators, [[Crowdin]] proofreaders, and Java [[Realms]] mapmakers), winners of Mojang's other games' tournaments, and more were also given capes. Only a few hundred players around the world have such a cape, with some capes being owned by a single individual only.[[File:MinecraftCapesSelection.png|thumb|479x479px|Minecraft.net cape selection menu]]
* [[MINECON]] capes, distributed to attendees of the convention. Around 27,000 of these capes exist.<ref>https://namemc.com/capes shows a rough estimate of how many capes of each type have ever been equipped on Java Edition. Note that it is possible to hide previously equipped capes or to simply not equip an owned cape, both of which will cause a cape to not count towards these totals. This also does not include Bedrock Edition players, who may later add to the Java Edition counters of cross-platform capes if they equip a cross-platform cape there.</ref>
* Mojang capes, given only to Mojang employees
* Volunteer capes, given to contributors in various programs, such as [[Crowdin]], [[Mojira]], and the [[Realms]] map making program
* Capes for those who had won competitions in Mojang's other non-Minecraft games, ''[[Scrolls]]'' and ''[[Cobalt]]''. These competitions were short-lived, with only the top players winning these capes, so only around 30 of these capes exist.
* Personal capes, which were given to single individuals as appreciation for something they did

Of these, only MINECON capes were available to the public in significant numbers. Therefore, at the time, capes were far more exclusive items than they are today.

As Minecraft became more popular, however, this exclusivity caused capes, and accounts that had them, to become premier items on black markets.<ref>https://x.com/Marc_IRL/status/1319158179591344128</ref> Partly due to this, accounts with rare capes have been known to be common targets of hacking attempts<ref>https://x.com/cheapshot/status/1240855558619463680</ref><ref>https://x.com/billyK___/status/1666259127692083202</ref> and unwanted solicitation. This exclusivity grew in 2017 when MINECON events became livestreams and stopped distributing capes, leading to a period of almost five years between [[MINECON 2016]] and the account migration in 2021 where no new Java Edition capes could be obtained by the public.

Since the account migration, which granted the [[Migrator cape]] to all Java Edition players who migrated, various capes have been available to the general public without being tied to in-person events. This is likely in order to avoid the problems associated with the aforementioned exclusivity. All of these capes have been available for both editions and are listed under the [[#Cross-platform capes|cross-platform capes]] section.

{{IN|BE}}, capes can be equipped in the Capes section on the [[Character Creator]]. Since they are Character Creator items, they are assigned a rarity. As of now, all available capes are Legendary, with the exception of the original version of [[The Pan Cape!]].

Capes are also available as part of some skins included in certain [[skin pack]]s, but they can only be equipped with their corresponding skin. Most notably, the [[MINECON 2016 Skin Pack]] included Steve and Alex skins wearing all [[MINECON]] capes from 2011 to 2016. However, these capes were locked to the skin pack, so custom skins cannot be equipped with them. For documentation purposes, capes from skin packs are considered to be separate from standard capes, which can be freely equipped with any skin.

Statements about capes on this wiki will exclude these by default.


There are a few exclusive capes on Bedrock. Although cape support on Bedrock Edition was added on 2016, it was used exclusively for skin packs until 2019, when the [[Founder's cape]] was released. A second cape, called [[The Pan Cape!]], was given to all Bedrock Edition players for free starting in 2020 and is still given out to this day. Thus far, it is the only cape on either edition to automatically be given out to all players.
There are a few exclusive Bedrock Edition capes, but most standard capes on Bedrock Edition are cross-platform capes released after the Java and Bedrock edition ownership merger.


Not long after this, however, the Java Edition account migration occurred, which ultimately led to the introduction of cross-platform capes.

=== Cross-platform capes ===
=== Cross-platform capes ===
After the migration from Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts in 2021, ownership of both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition was tied to a single account. In 2022, both editions were merged into one bundle, ensuring that all players would always have access to both. These changes allowed capes to be obtained in both editions at the same time after fulfilling the requirements, which became the standard. All capes released after the [[Vanilla cape]] (which commemorated the aforementioned merger) were released for both editions, with the sole exception of the [[Progress Pride cape]] (which was kept to Bedrock Edition, likely due to the region lock on that cape).

Since the migration, capes have become more common overall, with many capes being released through social media campaigns, Bedrock Edition [[event server]]s, and other promotions.


There may have been some hesitancy on Mojang's part to grant capes distributed through Bedrock Edition event servers to Java Edition accounts. This is supported by the fact that the [[Cherry Blossom cape]] and the [[MCC 15th Year cape]], the first two capes tied to event servers, were not originally announced for Java. Ultimately, both of these capes were added to Java Edition after the conclusion of their respective events. Since then, capes added by live events are announced for both editions, and are immediately granted to both editions upon completion of the requirements.

Steve, wearing a MINECON 2011 cape.

Capes are commemorative items shown on the player's back. Capes are purely cosmetic and do not alter any gameplay. Wearing a cape changes the appearance of the elytra, fitting the look of the respective cape.

Unlike skins, capes cannot be custom-made and have to be earned. In addition, they cannot be transferred between accounts. Some capes can be earned through various promotions, while other capes are not available to the general public.

Various mods offer third-party capes for players. However, these capes are only visible to players with those respective mods installed. Only capes added by Mojang Studios are featured below.

Obtaining

All capes available to the public can only be obtained through limited-time promotions, with one exception. Capes cannot be obtained after their respective promotions end.

Some types of promotions that distribute capes are social media campaigns and Bedrock Edition event servers. In-person events, although rare, may also grant capes. Modern capes are often distributed to both editions of the game, although logging into Bedrock Edition has been required to activate some such capes in Java Edition.[1]

Overview

Java Edition

Minecraft.net cape selection menu

In Java Edition, capes can either be equipped on the skin creation menu in the Minecraft Launcher, or in the profile page on the Minecraft website.

For about a decade after the introduction of capes in 2010, Java Edition capes could be split into five groups:

  • MINECON capes, distributed to attendees of the convention. Around 27,000 of these capes exist.[2]
  • Mojang capes, given only to Mojang employees
  • Volunteer capes, given to contributors in various programs, such as Crowdin, Mojira, and the Realms map making program
  • Capes for those who had won competitions in Mojang's other non-Minecraft games, Scrolls and Cobalt. These competitions were short-lived, with only the top players winning these capes, so only around 30 of these capes exist.
  • Personal capes, which were given to single individuals as appreciation for something they did

Of these, only MINECON capes were available to the public in significant numbers. Therefore, at the time, capes were far more exclusive items than they are today.

As Minecraft became more popular, however, this exclusivity caused capes, and accounts that had them, to become premier items on black markets.[3] Partly due to this, accounts with rare capes have been known to be common targets of hacking attempts[4][5] and unwanted solicitation. This exclusivity grew in 2017 when MINECON events became livestreams and stopped distributing capes, leading to a period of almost five years between MINECON 2016 and the account migration in 2021 where no new Java Edition capes could be obtained by the public.

Since the account migration, which granted the Migrator cape to all Java Edition players who migrated, various capes have been available to the general public without being tied to in-person events. This is likely in order to avoid the problems associated with the aforementioned exclusivity. All of these capes have been available for both editions and are listed under the cross-platform capes section.

Bedrock Edition

Bedrock Edition cape selection menu

In Bedrock Edition, capes can be equipped in the Capes section on the Character Creator. Since they are Character Creator items, they are assigned a rarity. As of now, all available capes are Legendary, with the exception of the duplicate version of The Pan Cape!.

Capes are also available as part of some skins included in certain skin packs, but they can only be equipped with their corresponding skin. Most notably, the MINECON 2016 Skin Pack included Steve and Alex skins wearing all MINECON capes from 2011 to 2016. However, these capes were locked to the skin pack, so custom skins cannot be equipped with them. For documentation purposes, capes from skin packs are considered to be separate from standard capes, which can be freely equipped with any skin. Statements about capes on this wiki will exclude these by default.

There are a few exclusive capes on Bedrock. Although cape support on Bedrock Edition was added on 2016, it was used exclusively for skin packs until 2019, when the Founder's cape was released. A second cape, called The Pan Cape!, was given to all Bedrock Edition players for free starting in 2020 and is still given out to this day. Thus far, it is the only cape on either edition to automatically be given out to all players.

Not long after this, however, the Java Edition account migration occurred, which ultimately led to the introduction of cross-platform capes.

Cross-platform capes

After the migration from Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts in 2021, ownership of both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition was tied to a single account. In 2022, both editions were merged into one bundle, ensuring that all players would always have access to both. These changes allowed capes to be obtained in both editions at the same time after fulfilling the requirements, which became the standard. All capes released after the merger were released for both editions, with the sole exception of the Progress Pride cape (which was kept to Bedrock Edition, likely due to the region lock on that cape).

There may have been some hesitancy on Mojang's part to grant capes distributed through Bedrock Edition event servers to Java Edition accounts. This is supported by the fact that the Cherry Blossom cape and the MCC 15th Year cape, the first two capes tied to event servers, were not originally announced for Java. Ultimately, both of these capes were added to Java Edition after the conclusion of their respective events. Since then, capes added by live events are announced for both editions, and are immediately granted to both editions upon completion of the requirements.

MINECON capes

MINECON capes from 2011 to 2016 were obtainable by attending the event that year. Initial MINECON events granted capes to those who bought tickets without requiring attendance at the actual event, but that was fixed in later events. On May 12, 2020, all unused MINECON cape links were disabled, making these capes impossible to obtain nowadays.

These capes were featured in a poll where readers could vote for the design of the MINECON 2011 cape.[7] The red creeper cape won with 42% of the votes[8] and was chosen as the cape design for MINECON 2011.[9] The blue cape with the pickaxe, which received 33% of the votes,[8] was later reused for MINECON 2012. The remaining cape designs, however, have never been used.

11 other capes were designed, but excluded from the vote.
