Minecraft events from 2017 and onward are done via a livestream available to everyone and no capes are given out anymore. MINECON capes before Minecon Earth 2017 were obtained by attending or buying a ticket to the year's MINECON. Capes cannot be transferred between accounts. The rest cannot be obtained by players through any in-game means and are therefore considerably rarer. The only cape that can be obtained on one's own, so far, in Java Edition is the migrator cape which comes from migrating a Mojang account to a Microsoft account. Only official capes, that can be seen by everyone, are listed in this article. These capes are however not official and only visible to the player using the mod (or in some cases, other users of that mod). There are various mods such as Optifine that allow players to obtain capes, some even allowing for any custom design to be used.
