History

October 21, 2020Java Edition account migration from Mojang to Microsoft accounts is announced. The Migrator Cape is revealed as a reward for migrating.[1]
December 1, 2020Purchases of Minecraft: Java Edition made on or after this date use Microsoft accounts and are ineligible for migration.[2]
June 24, 2021The migration period starts, with a limited number of accounts being allowed to migrate. From here, accounts are granted the ability to migrate in batches until all accounts have it.[3]
July 9, 2021The Migrator Cape is implemented and given to players who have already migrated. Players who migrate past this point receive it immediately.[4]
November 24, 2021All accounts that haven't yet received it are given the ability to migrate.[5]
September 19, 2023The migration period comes to an end. As of this date, players can no longer migrate or obtain the Migrator cape.[6]

Trivia

  • It is speculated that instead of the Migrator cape, players were originally planned to be given a "Veteran cape" for each year of owning the game, due to discovered text files that read, "And... a special Veteran Cape for each year you've played Java Edition!". Mojang has made no comments regarding this.[7][8]
