Players can earn Minecraft capes by completing achievements

Minecraft capes are decorative items that enhance player avatars but do not affect gameplay. They can be earned through achievements, events, or contributions to the game. Capes are rare and sought after by players. To obtain a cape, players can migrate their Mojang account to a Microsoft account for the exclusive Migrator Cape. Players who owned both Bedrock and Java editions before June 6, 2022, received the Vanilla Cape as a thank-you gift. Capes can also be earned by participating in official events, such as watching streams or completing challenges. Bedrock players have access to specific capes like the Pan Cape, while Java users can use mods for additional customization options.
