Minecraft.net cape selection menu

Java Edition [ ]

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.

The only cape that can be obtained on one's own, so far, in Java Edition is the migrator cape which comes from migrating a Mojang account to a Microsoft account.^[1] The rest cannot be obtained by players through any in-game means and are therefore considerably rarer. Capes cannot be transferred between accounts.

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, even 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 programmes as well as individuals whose impact was recognized by Mojang. Only a few hundred players around the world have such a cape.

Players of Java Edition can equip or unequip certain capes for their skin via the Minecraft Launcher or their Minecraft profile.

Bedrock Edition [ ]

Unlike Java Edition, in Bedrock Edition, capes are much more common items with some skins from various skin packs having capes integrated to them. One such skin pack that was made available to everyone was the MINECON 2016 skin pack that contains all five Minecon cape designs from Java Edition up to 2016. A cape celebrating Minecon Live 2019 was available in Bedrock Edition to promote the character creator, though it was obtainable by everyone regardless of whether they watched the event or not. The Pan Cape is another cape exclusive to Bedrock Edition that was given to every player.

Players of Bedrock Edition can equip or unequip certain capes for their skin via the Character Creator.

Unknown capes [ ]

Minecraft has released this image with Alex riding a horse with unknown cape.

When a player has a cape and equips elytra, the elytra take the place of the cape and adopts its design. If the cape texture has no elytra design, it has the default elytra design.
