Minecraft SpecialistCapes are fairly rare, but you can get a free one by attending a Minecraft event, such as Minecon. - QuestionIs there any other way to get a Minecraft cape?
Community AnswerYes, other Minecraft mods (like OptiFine) let you donate in exchange for a cape, which you may then customize with the banner system. Or you can simply use the OptiFine pre-made cape. - QuestionIf I change my username, do I keep the cape?
Community AnswerYes, because when you change your name your UUID doesn't change. Your UUID is unique like your fingerprint, and your cape will be tied to your UUID; so if you change your name and you have a official cape (e.g., from minecon) then yes, you will keep it. With mods, on the other hand, I am not sure.
Tips
- Minecraft Festival is an upcoming event that will offer a free cape to attendees.Thanks
- Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to receive the Vanilla Cape or the Migrator Cape. It also isn’t possible to get capes for past events unless you were an attendee.Thanks
