The MINECON 2012 Cape is a cape given to MINECON 2012 attendees.

Obtaining

Java Edition

In Java Edition, this cape was given to MINECON 2012 attendees who redeemed an emailed link.[1]

Bedrock Edition

In Bedrock Edition, this cape was available in skin packs. These skin packs featured Steve and Alex skins with all of the MINECON capes. These capes are locked to the skin pack and cannot be equipped with other skins, so they are not considered to be fully available on this edition.

From July 1, 2015 to July 15, 2015, the MINECON 2012 Cape was available for free with the Minecon 2015 Skin Pack in Legacy Console Edition. On September 12, 2017, the Minecon 2015 Skin Pack was made available in Bedrock Edition for players who previously owned it in Legacy Console Edition.[2][3]

From September 23, 2016 to October 3, 2016 in Legacy Console Edition and from September 22, 2016 to October 7, 2016 in Bedrock Edition, the MINECON 2012 Cape was available for free with the MINECON 2016 Skin Pack.[4]

Xbox 360 Edition avatar item

MINECON 2012 attendees were given a card containing a redemption code for a MINECON 2012 avatar cape.

The cape was also put on the Xbox 360 Marketplace as a downloadable content costing US$1.00.[5] On July 29, 2024, the Xbox 360 Marketplace closed, making this item unavailable unless it was purchased before the closure.[6]
