Browse All CapesFrequently Asked Questions
Is the cape permanent? Yes. Once redeemed, the cape is on your account forever. You can toggle it on or off at any time from your skin settings, but it will never disappear.
Can I transfer the cape to a different account? No — capes are permanently bound to the account that redeemed them. Double-check which account you're signed into on minecraft.net before redeeming.
Does it work on all servers? Yes. Your cape is visible to other players across both Java and Bedrock Edition — on every server that renders player capes, which includes virtually all of them — Hypixel, 2b2t, vanilla servers, and more.
Can other players see my cape? Yes. Other players on both Java and Bedrock Edition will see your cape on your character in multiplayer.
