Mojang Cape

The Mojang Cape is one of the rarest official Minecraft capes ever released. It served as the official employee cape for Mojang staff between October 2015 and July 2021, replacing the original Mojang (Classic) Cape before eventually being succeeded by the Mojang Studios Cape.

Unlike Minecon or promotional capes, the Mojang Cape was never available to the public. It was exclusively awarded to Mojang employees, making it one of the most prestigious staff capes in Minecraft.

If you're wondering how to get the Mojang Cape, how many players own it, or whether it's still obtainable, this guide covers everything you need to know.

What Is the Mojang Cape?

The Mojang Cape is an official Minecraft employee cape that was distributed to Mojang staff after the original employee cape design was retired in 2015.

It represented Mojang during the period between the company's original branding and its transition to Mojang Studios. When the company rebranded in 2021, the Mojang Cape was replaced with the Mojang Studios Cape, which is now issued to eligible employees.

How Was the Mojang Cape Obtained?

The Mojang Cape was never part of a public event or promotion.

Instead, it was granted directly to Mojang employees during their employment.

Players could not receive it by:

• Purchasing Minecraft
• Redeeming a code
• Attending Minecon
• Participating in Minecraft Live
• Completing challenges

Only Mojang employees were eligible to receive this exclusive cape.

Is the Mojang Cape Still Obtainable?

No.

The Mojang Cape is no longer awarded.

Following the launch of the Mojang Studios brand in 2021, Mojang introduced a brand-new employee cape and retired the Mojang Cape.

Today, there is no official way to obtain it unless an account already has it attached.

How Many People Own the Mojang Cape?

Estimated Owners: Around 300

Mojang has never published an official owner count.

Based on community observations and the size of Mojang's workforce during the period the cape was distributed, collectors estimate that around 300 Minecraft accounts own the Mojang Cape.

This makes it significantly rarer than Minecon capes while remaining more common than one-of-one personal capes.

Why Is the Mojang Cape So Rare?

Several factors contribute to its rarity.

• It was only awarded to Mojang employees.
• It was available for less than six years.
• It was replaced after the Mojang Studios rebrand.
• It has never been sold or publicly distributed.
• No new Mojang Capes are issued today.

Because of these factors, the Mojang Cape remains one of Minecraft's most recognizable employee-exclusive cosmetics.

Mojang Cape Design

The Mojang Cape features the modern Mojang logo introduced in 2015.

Compared to the earlier Mojang (Classic) Cape, the updated design has a cleaner appearance and reflects Mojang's branding before the company became Mojang Studios.

It remains one of the easiest employee capes to recognize in-game.
