Capes are special and rare skin modifications in Minecraft that not many players have. These can be attached to the back of a character and are designed specifically by Mojang.

Bedrock Edition players also have access to the Minecraft Marketplace, which offers free and paid skins through Mojang's Minecoin currency.

The players owning both the Bedrock and Java editions before June 6th, 2022, received Vanilla Cape as part of the thank-you gift from Mojang. The Cape is available in both versions of the game.

The only official ways to get a cape in Minecraft are by attending special events or buying skin packs, but Java Edition players can also use mods.
