p>How do you get hold of Minecraft capes You might are asking? There are rumors of a mythical piece of cloth that adorns the shoulders of the top Minecraft players. Legends talk of numerous Minecraft capes handed out to the lucky few throughout the years. The latest news (sigh) is that capes alter the appearance of Minecraft Elytra, the magical wings found in end ships, as they occupy the same space on the player's back. Naturally, Minecraft capes are highly sought-after however they're not easily obtained.

p>Those who ventured to any Minecon event prior to Minecon Earth 2017 each received Minecraft caps; each year, there was a new color and design. More rare are the personal capes gifted to lucky people to honor their achievements, like Reddit user u/billyk_, who got a personal turtle cape for suggesting Mojang should include turtles in Minecraft.

/p>

p>If you're unable to think of a solution similar to turtles (unlikely) or can time travel back to the past of Minecon It appears that you're out of luck to get any of these Minecraft capes in the Java version. They're more popular in the Bedrock version because there are numerous skin packs available on the Marketplace. If you'd like them for free, you can try on a cape with the assistance of Minecraft mods, but it'll only be visible to you. https://www79.zippyshare.com/v/u3D4csCW/file.html There is one currently available Minecraft cape for the Java edition, though you'll need to read this article to find out how to get it.

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

/p>

p>In a blog post published in 2020, Mojang announced that it is migrating all Minecraft Java edition accounts from Mojang to Microsoft. https://userscloud.com/z09qrhsbskx1 This is a requirement that if you do not switch your account over when the time is right, you eventually won't be allowed to play Minecraft unless you use the launcher.

/p>

p>On the plus side, though, once you log into Minecraft with your Microsoft account, you'll unlock a shiny new cape - and possibly more than that, as Mojang suggests that players will receive 'more than one outfit to show off'. New Minecraft accounts are automatically registered with Microsoft instead of Mojang.

/p>

p>This official Mojang blog post explains how to do it.

p>How do I activate Minecraft capes

/p>

p>If you own an official Minecraft cape, you can equip them before launching an online game. Your capes Bedrock caps are only available for that version. The same is true for any capes you earn in the Minecraft Java version.

/p>

p>Open the app and then click on the button to open the Dressing Room from your main menu. Next, click on the tab on the left with a red cape and Mojang's logo. This will show all available capes. Click on one to equip.

/p>

p>For the Java version, you'll need to open the Launcher and then click Minecraft: Java Edition on the tabs to the left. You will see a number of options which include Skins. Click this option to bring up all of your current skins. You can modify the existing skin or create an entirely new one by visiting this page. When you click on the option to select a Skin File, you will see all the available caps.

/p>

p>Make a cape using Minecraft mods

/p>

p>What if you desperately would like your avatar to sport a cape now, and you're not interested in the free migration cape? You can create your own cape with mods. You can obtain any of the coveted capes in the game or, better yet the cape that you can imagine - with mods like the Advanced Capes Mod. http://www.docspal.com/viewer?id=pygtbvqn-21467895 </p>

p>There's a caveat to this: other players you meet on multiplayer Minecraft servers will not be able to view your cape unless they also have the same mods installed. Waiting for official Mojang capes to be given to you as your account is transferred is the best way to make sure everyone can see your capes.
