My Founder’s cape has been missing from my account for a while is there anyway I can get it...

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Founders Cape that was removed from your account.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please check your Minecraft account settings to make sure that it is still listed as an owned cape.

To do this, go to your Minecraft account settings: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/msaprofile and see if the Founder's cape is still listed under "Capes".

If it's not there, log out and back in to your Microsoft account because this can help refresh the syncing between your Microsoft account and your Minecraft account. After logging in, please check if the cape is there.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues getting the Minecraft Founders Edition Cape on Java Edition.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

To set your expectations properly, Mojang has indeed begun porting certain Bedrock such as exclusive capes specifically the Founder’s Cape and the Pan Cape to Java Edition for players who already have them on their Bedrock account. From the recent reports from May 2025 indicate that if your Bedrock and Java profiles are linked to the same Microsoft account, you should eventually see the Founder’s Cape appear in your Java profile after a brief rollout period.

Please make sure that your Bedrock account where you originally received the cape is properly linked to your Microsoft account and that the same account is used for Java Edition.

And then restart your launcher because the cape might require a refresh in your Java Edition’s cosmetic data.

Kindly wait for the gradual rollout too because Mojang appears to be deploying these capes progressively. The process could take a bit of time before the cape appears on all eligible accounts. I hope you understand.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi 4mlevvy!

Thanks for reaching Microsoft Community. We're here to help and let's work on this together.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your Minecraft founder's cape. One possible reason for this issue is that the founder's cape may have been removed from your account due to a violation of the Minecraft End User License Agreement (EULA). Another possible reason is that there may be a syncing issue between your Microsoft account and your Minecraft account.



To resolve this issue, I recommend that you try the following steps:



1. Check your Minecraft account settings to see if the founder's cape is still listed as one of your owned capes. If it is not, then it may have been removed from your account.



2. If the founders cape is still listed as one of your owned capes, try logging out of your Minecraft account and then logging back in. This may help to refresh the syncing between your Microsoft account and your Minecraft account.



3. If the issue persists, you can contact Minecraft support for further assistance. They may be able to help you recover your founder's cape or provide more information about why it may have been removed from your account.



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

Greetings,

I once had the among us cape and the founder's cape in my main account

I got the founder's cape in somewhere 2020 and among us cape was there in my main account when I went into my profile

They were not custom capes or anything but provided by minecraft

But after 1.17 I guess I lost them all except my pan cape .

How do I recover those capes they looked very great

I still have them in 1.16 version of the game and they show up on my profile

But after updating to higher version I don't see them.

I also notify that they were not a glitch or something because I checked it on my other devices too on the same account and they were present every single time.

Hey DOGEman3361, sorry you're having trouble getting your cape. I understand how that seems unfair. I'll try to help you in any way I can here!

It looks like you're not alone, there have been several posts about this same issue in the past couple of days.

Since the issue seems to be widespread, it might be resolved in an update soon. You could submit another request to Minecraft to see if they are aware of this. You can report the problem using this link:

https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/article...

If the usual fixes like reinstalling/signing out and back in don't solve it, then it's likely something with the game itself.

If you still need help, feel free to update this thread. It could help other's experiencing the same problem with the founders cape.
