Hello and welcome to our community!

We’re excited to have you here and have great conversations! I'd be happy to be of assistance.

I understand that you wish to get the Vanilla cape. If you owned both Java and Bedrock Edition on PC on a single account before June 6, 2022 (whether by purchase or by code redemption), you should have received a special cape, and you’ll be able to wear it in both editions.

To address this, please confirm your purchase on the link https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders and check the date when you acquired the game. Then, reach out to Mojang Support https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/request/new for further assistance in getting the cape.

Please note that this is an online public forum, and while we help fellow gamers by sharing our knowledge and experiences, we do not have access to any accounts.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions or need assistance. Thanks!

Hey Vic, thanks for reaching out for help on the forums. I'm sorry you're dealing with this confusion about the Minecraft Vanilla cape.

From what I gathered, to be eligible for the Vanilla cape, you needed to own both Java and Bedrock on the same Microsoft account before June 6, 2022. Since you bought them on different accounts, unfortunately, you wouldn’t qualify. The cape can’t be transferred between accounts either.

You can find more info about this here:

I hope this helps you! Let me know if you have any other questions.

I bought both bedrock and java on pc in 2021 beginning of 2022 AND I migrated and ZERO capes, why? .

Hello Loop,

Nilay here and I'm glad to answer your query today.

The vanilla cape is a unique cape offered to users who owned (whether by purchase or by code redemption) Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on PC on the same Microsoft account before June 6, 2022. Since you purchased them before June 6, 2022, and you didn't receive Vanilla Cape, I highly recommend contacting Mojang Support through this link https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001225811 so they can have it checked for you.

Good Luck

Hey there!

Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, a fellow gamer. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I am here to help.

According to the Minecraft FAQ:

CAN I BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR THE VANILLA CAPE AFTER JUNE 6, 2022?

If you did not purchase both versions of Minecraft on the same Microsoft account fo PC before June 6, 2022, it is not possible to become eligible for the Vanilla cape.

HOW DO I ACQUIRE THE VANILLA CAPE?

We began rolling out the vanilla cape to eligible players on Wednesday, August 31st. However, these rollouts will continue into the coming months. Once it arrives, the cape should show up in your Dressing Room and Skin Customization menus automatically in both versions of the game. If you don’t see your cape, try refreshing the game by logging completely out and back in.

Note: The vanilla cape may not appear in both versions of Minecraft at the same time. If the cape appears in one game and not the other, give it some time, and it should eventually appear in your other version.

Unfortunately, both games must have been owned on a single Microsoft account prior to June 6, 2022, to receive the cape. Minecraft Support cannot 'merge' two accounts to force eligibility, and account migrations that have taken place after June 6, 2022, will not be eligible for the cape.

Try to sign out and re-sign into your account on Minecraft Launcher, however, if the issue still persists, contact Mojang support as they can provide you further assistance on how to acquire your Vanilla cape in-game item by submitting your ticket request here on this link:

https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/request... or

https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/request/new...

After submitting the ticket request, you will receive an update from Mojang within 24 - 48 hours.

Thank you so much for your time, I hope you have a great day!
