Every Minecraft Cape: The Complete List

All 46 Minecraft capes in one place, with confirmed owner counts, release years, and whether each one can still be obtained. No guesswork — every number comes from tracked account data.

Search for a complete list of Minecraft capes and you will mostly find articles explaining why a complete list is difficult to assemble. It is not. Below is every documented cape — 46 in total — with the confirmed owner count, release year, edition support, and whether you can still get it.

Every number on this page comes from tracked account data rather than estimation, and the tables update automatically as the dataset changes.

How Minecraft Capes Are Distributed

Capes reach accounts through four distinct routes, and the route matters more than the design when you are judging rarity:

  • Event capes — handed to physical attendees of MINECON. Fixed supply, permanently closed.
  • Internal capes — Mojang employee, moderator, and translator capes tied to a role rather than a purchase.
  • Promotional capes — issued alongside a product launch, partnership, or in-game event, usually via a redeemable code.
  • Account-based capes — granted automatically for an account property, such as migrating a legacy account.

Only the promotional group produces redeemable codes that can legitimately change hands. Event and internal capes are bound to the account that received them, which is why any listing offering a MINECON cape "code" deserves immediate suspicion.

What the Owner Counts Actually Tell You

The spread across these 46 capes is enormous. The Migrator Cape sits at 5,968,538 owners. Thirteen capes have fewer than ten. That is a difference of roughly six orders of magnitude within the same cosmetic slot.

A few patterns worth internalising:

  • Sixteen capes have under 100 owners. These are effectively uncirculated. If one appears for sale, the burden of proof is on the seller.
  • Nine capes have exactly one owner. Most are personal capes Mojang awarded to specific individuals. They are not obtainable at any price and never will be.
  • The MINECON capes are not the rarest capes. They are the most recognised rare capes, which is a different thing — see the counts in the table above.

Counts reflect accounts indexed on public profiles. Read them as a dependable floor, not a precise global census.

The Seven Capes You Can Still Get

Thirty-nine of the 46 are closed permanently. Seven remain live, and they fall into two groups.

Earned through contribution — the Translator Cape, Mojira Moderator Cape, and Realms Mapmaker Cape still go to active contributors. No purchase route exists, and anyone selling one is selling an account, not a cape.

Available to any account — the Common Cape and Pan Cape are broadly accessible, which is exactly why their counts run into the millions.

The Minecraft Experience Cape and Moonlight Trail Cape sit in between: still obtainable in principle, but through channels narrow enough that their counts remain low at 40,822 and 7,188 respectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Minecraft capes are there?

There are 46 documented capes across Java and Bedrock Edition. Only 7 can still be obtained.

What is the rarest Minecraft cape?

Nine capes have exactly one confirmed owner. Among capes held by more than one account, the Scrolls Cape is rarest at nine owners — several hundred times scarcer than any MINECON cape.

Which Minecraft capes can you still get?

The Translator, Mojira Moderator, Realms Mapmaker, Common, Pan, Minecraft Experience, and Moonlight Trail capes.

Do Minecraft capes work on both Java and Bedrock?

Twenty of the 46 work on both. The other 26 are Java-only — mostly older capes issued before the editions shared a Microsoft account system.

Where do the owner counts come from?

NameMC, which indexes capes on public Minecraft profiles. They are a reliable floor rather than an exact global total.
