Minecraft<\/a> capes are rarely released cosmetic items that are worn on a player\u2019s back in-game. Because they occupy the same location, these highly coveted items also change the appearance of Elytra.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Previously released capes for both Minecraft Java Edition and Minecraft Bedrock Edition include the Mojang capes (given to Mojang employees) and MINECON capes. The MINECON capes were given out to in-person attendees of MINECON events. The last of these events occurred in 2016, and it\u2019s impossible to receive these capes in any other way.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n There have also been several special capes given to specific Minecraft players by its developers for services they rendered to Minecraft\u2019s development. For example, players could claim the Founder\u2019s Cape in the Minecraft Marketplace when it was used as a promotion for the Character Creator tool.\n<\/p>\n\n\n However, since these are unattainable, we won\u2019t cover them in this article. Just keep in mind that if you help add content to Minecraft, you might be rewarded with a cape!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, more skins are available on Bedrock Edition because they\u2019ve been added through various skin packs over the years.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: <\/span>It\u2019s possible to get access to custom capes via add-ons like the OptiFine mod that add new skins to Minecraft. However, since these aren\u2019t official, they\u2019re only visible to the player using the mod. Official capes are visible to all players on any Minecraft servers.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n There aren\u2019t many capes that players can currently get their hands on. However, there\u2019s at least one cape that any player can receive \u2014 all they need is a Minecraft account for the Bedrock Edition!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Pan cape is the easiest free cape for a Minecraft player to receive as it\u2019s available to any Bedrock Edition player. To get it, simply head to the \u201cCapes” tab of the dressing room in Bedrock Edition. It\u2019ll be equipped over your current Minecraft skin<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n If you\u2019re a Bedrock player on Android, iOS, or desktop, some purchasable Minecraft skins come with capes. Two examples are the Adventure Time Mash-up<\/a> and Star Wars Classic Pack<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n There\u2019s a rumored Minecraft Festival cape that\u2019s to be given out to attendees of the Minecraft Festival convention held in Orlando. The date for this convention is to be determined, so keep your eyes on the news to find out how you can receive it.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several previously released capes that are no longer available, but which might become available again in the future. Likewise, because capes are often given out at events, by knowing about previous capes, you can get an idea of what to expect in the future.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Migrator Cape was given to players who bought Minecraft before December 1, 2020 and migrated their Mojang or legacy account to a Microsoft account. Unfortunately, because Minecraft account migration has ended, this cape is no longer available to claim.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2022, the Bedrock and Java Editions were merged into the same Minecraft Launcher. Players who owned both editions were given the Vanilla cape. Unfortunately, it\u2019s no longer possible to receive this cape, even if you own both versions.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Several capes have been released as temporary event capes for all players, including:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n While it isn\u2019t possible to retrieve these capes now, new capes might be released in the future on key events. Make sure you pay attention to Minecraft\u2019s social media accounts to hear of any news, and also make sure to play on key dates like Christmas or New Year\u2019s for a chance at playing with a cape.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Several mods provide the ability to equip capes and even create your own custom cape designs from scratch. Two examples of mods that let you do this are:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nAvailable and Upcoming Minecraft Capes\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
