ABOUT THIS CAPE
Awarded to proofreaders who made exceptional contributions to Minecraft's official Crowdin localization project. The inaugural 29 recipients were announced May 16, 2012. The design features a pink "T" on the underside of the cape. Distribution has been tightly controlled and sporadic — it was halted in 2020 and resumed for proofreaders in November 2025.
HOW TO OBTAIN
Selected by Mojang from top Crowdin proofreaders. Distribution was halted in 2020 and resumed in November 2025 — extraordinarily rare but technically still obtainable.
