the idea of a cape showing the number of years you've been playing the game is a great idea imo

[@KiemPlant]

@@JJDeafGeek Same here. However, I didn't know you had to buy the game back then because a friend just gave me a cracked version. I didn't even know what that meant so I ended up playing for like 5 years before actually buying the game.

[@graf]

I honestly reckon account migration and flooding the game with capes is Mojang trying to combat account reselling. They make money only when a new account is purchased and notoriously have been against things like Optifine, because they can't get any money from OF Cape donations. They can't get any money from people selling Minecon Cape accounts and hope people think "a cape is a cape lol" and will settle for the vanilla ones. Just my take.

[@S0M3O43]

Well to be fair, even players like myself don't even like Optifine as it's closed source and in general games the game run worse if you don't have the correct hardware.

[@Sixty4Horses]

I have the Migration cape & I think I might get the Vanilla cape too. As someone who plays singleplayer mostly, I think it’s a nice addition to my skin & makes my overall gameplay experience a little better. The only people who seem opposed to these new capes are those who’ve acquired a minecon cape account.

[@Shrewbloom]

very true lol

[@Robotition]

if you play singleplayer only, you didn't have to allow yourself to be forced by Microsoft to migrate your account and instead kept your mojang account and installed a mod to use any cape you want.

I love the idea of veteran capes, it gives a proper way to show off how long we’ve all been playing the game

Even thought I’ve been playing the game for 9 years, I would’ve gotten the 2020 cape

[@paranoyd1]

@@Llamu Yeah me too probably hahahahaha

[@lazr24]

I personally don’t like the idea, mainly because of people (like myself) who started on bedrock, old pocket edition, and consoles who have since moved to java. I understand the reason why some older java players would like these capes, but it could leave other ogs out just because they didn’t play java first.

[@Llamu]

@@lazr24 yep, I would only get the 2020 cape because I only got a pc in 2020

[@lazr24]

I started on PE late 2012 and would only have a July 2021 cape

[@Nugcon]

I love the idea of the cape but the design itself looks unfinished. I see the 3D grass block at the top and that looks good for the most part but what's going on in the bottom? What's that texture is that supposed to be? I want to say Bedrock because of it's theme (Java being grass block and Bedrock being bedrock) but it looks more like deepslate to me, and even that texture doesn't look like it. The dark triangle at the bottom confuses me, is it supposed to be shading or part of the design? What is it trying to portray here? The random gray pixels look weird, I know its part of the grass block texture but it looks too intrusive. What's with the shading bellow the grass block? Is it supposed to be the shadow of the grass block if so why isn't it in a triangle shape too? And it might just be because of compression but It looks really messy overall. Am I just missing something here? Is it like an optical illusion that I'm not seeing? I love the idea of Mojang giving away more capes, but this definitely looks like a placeholder texture, it doesn't look up to par with the other cape textures at all.

[@pbow]

It is bedrock it represents java and bedrock edition together

[@speedlunary797]

It's kind of an optical illusion. And no that's not shading

[@speedlunary797]

The triangles are just the 2 blocks from a different POV

[@dullicecream]

You are missing something lol- it's supposed to be bedrock as someone has said + put in a way where's it's 2 of them with one missing the middle.

[@notxina6334]

@@seallz oh yeah i can see that perfectly, like a grass block on top and then bedrock going on all directions bellow the grass block except diagonals

[@masahirosakurai64]

1:47 I just want to make a correction, bedrock edition does have a special cape which is the Minecraft Live 2019 cape. It is tied to the Microsoft account of the user, rather than their name like in java edition. It does not surprise me that Mojang would want to add more.

[@FireZap]

I means theres only 3 confirmed cape in bedrock edition. 1. Founders Cape (Minecraft Live 2019) 2. Pan Cape (Obtained when joining beta/preview) 3. Mojang Studio Cape And i did not include Skin Pack capes like minecon 2016 skin pack

[@remazure]

@@FireZap I have founders skinpack and pan cape

[@FireZap]

[@S0M3O43]

They also have the Pancape, a cape given out around 2018-2019 (If I remember) for beta/alpha players of bedrock.

[@masahirosakurai64]

@@S0M3O43 I didn't know that. I thought everyone had the pancape.

[@MadiPlays_]

they probably did this to recover their reputation after the 1.19.1 update but i don't think this makes up for it a single bit

[@byzantiumgaming]

The thing is I bought them using different accounts and I lost the bedrock one so I guess I won't get the cape

[@Nugcon]

Wonder if the free Windows 10 Beta you get when buying Java Edition around 2017 counts as "buying" Bedrock edition, since that's how I got Bedrock and probably a lot of other people as well.

[@GeneralLDS]

it would be incredibly stupid if it didn’t count

[@generalyido]

that's literally how I got bedrock (i also had the mobile version for iOS before that though)

[@thesandwich7151]

I think the deepslate in the cape is supposed to signify "bedrock" therefore this cape is supposed to be a java+bedrock type of cape

[@SOTAREKO]

do i like the new capes? yes. however i do feel like capes were a special thing that were so incredible given they were a bit rare. i feel like giving a lot of people these capes will completely void that aspect of it, however i do think this is a pretty cool thing they’re doing

[@young_steve9967]

I somewhat agree it was nice when capes were rare and it was fun to oooh and aaah over players with them, but now that migrator capes are flooding servers I'm completely down to get some more variety in capes instead of the same red gold and black!

[@SOTAREKO]

@@young_steve9967 totally agree!

[@twolistz]

What I think the cape is supposed to look like is at the top, grass blocks to represent Java Edition (shown in the minecraft launcher) and the bottom, well, bedrock to represent Bedrock Edition. Pretty neat.

[@Farsk_]

Yeah I see that too but as someone else had mentioned it looks very unfinished

[@notxina6334]

it might be supposed to look that way, but all i can see from my perspective, is the infact grass block, and like a pyramid in the middle of the night, with a shadow on the left

[@tibbittsaerospace201]

i love the idea of new capes, but id also like more exclusive ones too, like watching minecon live on twitch and getting a cape code, or caps for playing other Minecraft games

[@TheHimikoToga]

Capes are a fun cosmetic to see in your 3rd person view. The extra detail just makes your own and other's skins pop out with the movement physics. Rare capes will still be rare, but everyone gets some extra cosmetic choice. Marc said something similar ages ago and I agree with him.

[@cowmeawwowstudio]

I love capes and the option of having more is incredible

[@TacoBel]

From the first time I saw the java and bedrock release arrival I knew that some sort of cape would be the reward I just diddnt know how long it would be till I got it. The name of the cape is cool but weird considering the context, the design of the cape is not the best but still looks good and I will be proud to wear it. Edit: Thanks so much for giving us a comprehensive video on the cape that was also high in quality l. Subbed

[@My_Old_YT_Account]

I wonder if migrating a Mojang or Legacy account to a Microsoft account that already had bedrock will give the cape

[@ireallydontknowifiamhonest]

even if you didn't buy them from your own Money and got them in the offer Mojang gave in like 2018 and 2015, the servers will still think of that transaction as a normal transaction, so yeah, it would work

[@NotNeliz]

Love your vids!! Keep doing great!

[@mcbyt]

Thank you

[@Foxe_26_05]

It's interesting, anyway I'll try to get the translator cape I know I can still get it with a few colleagues (although to get those peers and get mojang to accept my request to do a translation, I have to do a few things first)

[@arttukettunen5757]

I have seen really og usernames and 2 letter usernames in game more often than people with any other capes than migration cape, which of there still should be multiple times more of. 1 time a realms cape and one time some minecon cape vs 3 instances of 2 letters and many times common english words

[@antynomity]

I think capes for more general things like supporting the game before X happened are good things, unlike the migration cape this one required you to go out of your way to support Mojang TWICE on the same account by buying both bedrock and java before they got merged as purchases, also hopefully purchases on mobile devices and through codes found in store are eligible for the cape, so I can actually get it as I bought java normally on PC.

[@Thunderiee]

Amazing Video, as always!

[@mcbyt]

thank you!!

[@CoolerFN15]

It had been mentioned before, kinda. When Java + Bedrock were paired the faq said if you have both you wont get either version but you will get something special in the future

[@pinklightninggacha]

I bought Java at a time when they were doing a deal that if you bought Java you got bedrock edition for free it was like some promotion thing so I got both at once

[@iand255]

Fingers crossed it also counts if you have played bedrock on your account or else I'm going to have a mental breakdown

[@mariofanl1ve]

I would love this cape for a couple reasons. I play both Java and bedrock consistently and I never got the migration cape because I bought Java after Microsoft accounts were a thing so this would be my first cape. And also I like to keep the visual aspects of Java and bedrock mostly the same without making one version look exactly like the other, for example I have the same resource packs on each version, same fov, same render distance, same skin, ect. It's annoyed me that I had to have the pancape on one version and optifine cape on the other, this new cape would fix that problem too.

[@VinnyUnion]

Have you got the cape or have you not The requirements was to have these before june 6 Also it was possible to redeem your codes from 2018 when you migrated to mojang which is how i got it unintentionally.

[@daisydoggo7754]

question, i own minecraft on wii u, xbox 360, and 3ds. would you think i could get the vanilla cape if i proved to mojang i own tons of minecraft copies?

[@Brunolator]

i got java edition in 2015 and i got bedrock edition for free when they gave it to all the java people, but then i migrated my java account to a different account then i had put the bedrock eiditon on, and i hope i still get cape.

Cool. Can we get our free removal of the chat report system next?

[@stupidpicturesyt]

Is it for windows bedrock only or any version of bedrock that was bought with Microsoft account? Because I have every version of bedrock besides windows

[@notamonkeyy]

You need to have bought both Java and Bedrock on PC before June 6th of this year.

[@katsuw]

Hi i have a question about that because i get and played on bedrock edition from 2016 to 2020 (when i get my pc) but i played on xbox game pass. the cape its only for who buy the minecraft or for who played?

les go another MCBYT banger

I wonder if this also includes purchasing bedrock on mobile, and java on pc, and having them on the same microsoft account before the merge.

[@screamingg0at]

Do I need to own both versions on the same microsoft account, or do I need to at least have logged in minecraft BE with the account that I own java on? I have Purchased Java on my main microsoft account, but I purchased BE on my dads account about 5 years ago. Will I still get the cape?

I always used my Dads xbox account because I had the game before they added microsoft accounts to MCPE and I didn't make one until I bought java a couple of years ago lmao. If they release the cape and I didn't connect it before the merge, this would be the *3rd time* I got screwed out of a cape 🥲 Also while I have owned the xbox 360 and xbox one editions (I don't play xbox one, but my lil sisters love it) they are both under different accounts.
