All Minecraft Capes

How to get a Minecraft cape

You cannot buy an official Minecraft cape. Mojang gives them out for events such as MINECON, for livestreams and community challenges, to everyone who owned an account at a certain time (the Migrator and Vanilla capes, for example) and to people who work at Mojang or help as volunteers. Staff and volunteer capes are only given to those groups, and all other capes on this list can no longer be obtained.

Once you own a cape, choose it in the Minecraft Launcher under Skins. Every player sees official capes in game, on any server.

Mojang capes and OptiFine capes

Mojang capes are the official capes of Minecraft: Java Edition listed above. OptiFine capes are a different thing: they are sold by the OptiFine mod and only players who use OptiFine can see them. We show both on player profiles.

A player can own several Mojang capes and choose which one to wear. We count a player as a holder while we see the cape on their profile, and you can browse their skins as well. The front and back pictures show the outside of the cape and the side that faces the player's back.
