p>How can you get hold of Minecraft capes, you ask? You may have heard rumours, whispers of the mythical piece of cloth that is worn on the shoulders of the most prestigious Minecraft players. The legends speak of myriad Minecraft capes given to the fortunate few over the years. The latest news (sigh) is that capes also modify the appearance of Minecraft Elytra, the magical wings found in end ships, since they take up the same space on the player's back. Naturally, Minecraft capes are highly coveted however, they're not easily obtained.

/p>

p>Those who ventured to any Minecon event prior to Minecon Earth 2017 each received Minecraft caps; each year, a different colour and design. The most unusual are the personal capes gifted to people who are lucky for their accomplishments, like Reddit user u/billyk_, who was given a personal turtle cape for suggesting Mojang should include turtles in Minecraft.

/p>

p>If you're unable to come up with a suggestion as good as turtles (unlikely) or can time travel back to the days of Minecon the time, you're out of luck to find any of these Minecraft capes in the Java version. They're a bit more common in the Bedrock version, since some skin packs on the Marketplace include them. If you'd like to have them free, you can try on a cape using the assistance of Minecraft mods, though it'll only be visible to you. There is one currently available Minecraft cape for the Java edition, however, so read on to learn how to obtain it.

p>Get a Minecraft cape by migrating your account to Minecraft.

/p>

p>In a blog post in 2020, Mojang announced that it is moving all Minecraft Java edition accounts from Mojang to Microsoft. This is a mandatory change and if you don't change your account at the time it is due, you eventually won't be able to play Minecraft unless you utilize the launcher.

/p>

p>On the plus side, however after you sign in to Minecraft using your Microsoft account, you'll unlock an amazing new cape and possibly more than that, as Mojang suggests that players will receive 'more than one outfit to showcase'. New Minecraft accounts are automatically created with Microsoft instead of Mojang.

p>There's a caveat to this: other players you meet on multiplayer Minecraft servers aren't able to see your cape unless they have the same mods installed. Waiting for official Mojang capes to be handed to you when your account moves is the best method to ensure everyone can see your capes.
