The History of Minecraft's Pentacape Accounts

Minecraft capes are by far the most sought-after cosmetic in the entire game, but just how much do capes mean to the community? Well, the answer lies in the story of "pentacapes", or account with 5+ capes. From accounts being stolen from streamers, being hacked and traded for thousands of dollars, and a roller-coaster of locks, unlocks, snipes, scams, and more, this is the history of Minecraft's pentacape accounts.

CORRECTIONS:
Both CzarNicho1as and Wam have come into the community within the last week. CzarNicho1as seems to have maybe been pulled through support, but by a different person than the ones mentioned in the video. I'm not quite sure how Wam got here, but it has since been pulled back by the original owner.
Nobleman/Vek/Pat's stories are slightly different. Pat and Nobleman were both involved with account selling which caused the capes to be removed (Nobleman having scammed out, as well). Vek has a different story behind his cape, and I'll let him tell that whenever he feels ready.

dude i would totally watch a 2 hour video on all the history of these accounts, this is super interesting

[@mcbyt]

I think so too, that's why I started doing all these videos. I think there's a lot of people missing out on a really cool part of Minecraft history.

Nothing to do with your video, but I wish jeffska doesnt recover the damn capes, cuz I saw a stream highlight about him that he is toxic towards children. I'm pretty sure it's the same person or are there two jeffskas? The highlight i saw he was in bedrock edition

[@Nekoszowa]

"Everyone loves capes." Me disabling my capes because I think they're tacky and because I want to look at my skin's back instead:

[@Bubbabyte99]

I'm actually gonna become a pentacape account on July 8th, because that's the day the capes that are being given out rn via Twitch and TikTok are being added to Java (both of which I've claimed). Combine that with the three capes I already have in Java (the 15th Anniversary Cape, the One Vanilla Cape, and the Migrator Cape), and I'll soon be a part of the cool kids club lol

[@ManosSef]

It's "by" July 8th, not "on" July 8th. One account already has the twitch cape on Java, so you might get them earlier than July 8th.

How do i get a cape

[@Golem2OO8]

To consider an account pentacape, does it needs to have at least five capes, even if they’re not from MineCons?

[@mcbyt]

Yep! A pentacape is any account with 5 or more capes :)

[@Diamond_Spellbound]

I remember I did /f Jeff on hypixel and he accepted it was before he even had KZbin rank

[@TheblueJo]

It's sad how noone mentions that bedrock accounts can also become rare with capes. I accidentally had put 7/9 capes on my old account instead of my main account.

[@TheblueJo]

Will the Minecraft customer support transfer the capes to my main account if I ask them to?

[@airnote9578]

What is the website to find the cape leaderboards

capes.cc

You had to go to Minecon, but there are no more Minecons so the only way to have a Minecon cape is to buy an account with a Minecon cape. However, the Minecraft Festival is coming up, which is basically Minecon with a different name. There will be a Minecraft Festival cape, and you will get one if you go
