My Minecraft cape is gone after changing pc.

Hello Gabaaa, my name is Vanessa, and I would be happy to help.

If your Minecraft cape disappeared after changing PCs, it's possible that the cape was accidentally uninstalled from the launcher. To recover the cape, you can try the following:

Verify that the cape is uninstalled from the launcher. To do this, open the Minecraft launcher and go to the "Appearance" tab. If the cape is not in the list, it means it is uninstalled.
Reinstall the cape. To do this, go to the Minecraft website and search for the cape you want to install. Once you have found the cape, click the "Download" button.
Once the cape has been downloaded, open the Minecraft launcher and go to the "Appearance" tab. The cape should now be in the list.
As for the question of how to recover the skins you had on the previous PC, there is no direct way to do this through the launcher. However, if you saved the skins on your previous PC, you can try importing them to the new PC. To do this, follow these steps:

Find the skins you saved on the previous PC. Skins are usually stored in the "AppData" folder on your PC.
Copy the skins to the "AppData" folder on the new PC.
Open the Minecraft launcher and go to the "Appearance" tab.
Click the "Import" button.
Select the skins you want to import and click "Open."
Once you have imported the skins, they should appear in the list of available skins.
I hope this helps!

Best regards,

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Samy_40

Please answer the following questions to see how we can proceed:

Buddy, this cape was purchased by you or do you have any proof of ownership about it?

By the way, which cape is? And is for Java or Bedrock edition?

Which troubleshooting steps you have done so far to fix this issue?

I'll be waiting for your answers, greetings from another Microsoft user!

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.

Hi Attackeh,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you redeemed a Minecraft cape and it's not yet showing in your inventory.

Minecraft events and promotions often award capes that you can equip on your character to show your participation. After a cape is granted or you redeem a code, it appears in the dressing room of your Minecraft: Bedrock Edition profile. Capes are often granted to Minecraft: Java Edition profiles at a later date only after participation ends.

If you want to receive your cape on your Minecraft: Java Edition profile sooner, you can try to activate it by signing into Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Here’s how:

Wait for notification that your cape was granted or redeem your code.

Start the Minecraft Launcher.

Sign into the Launcher using the Microsoft account you use to play Minecraft.

Start the latest release of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

Select Dressing Room and locate your item in the appropriate section.

Exit Minecraft: Bedrock Edition after you verified that your item is available in the Dressing Room.

Sign out of the Minecraft Launcher and close the application.

Restart the Minecraft Launcher and sign in again with the same Microsoft account.

Select Minecraft: Java Edition in the Launcher.

Select Skins.

Highlight the skin you are currently using.

Click … and select Edit.

Click your cape and select Save & Use.

It is important that you sign out and restart to make sure Minecraft: Java edition reconnects and finds your cape. If the process above doesn't work, you may need to wait until the official Minecraft: Java Edition cape grant after the event or promotion end date.

Regards,

Alvaro
