I’m really late to grab mine, but can I even still get it? The cape is still being advertised in the official launcher, but whenever I go to the redeem page which was linked in the article advertised in the launcher, I keep getting taken to the 15th anniversary page where all they tell me is about all the bedrock edition marketplace content you can redeem for the anniversary, and a history of Minecraft over each of its 15 years.
I can’t find anything about a cape on the page. I also can’t find anything about it being a limited time offer (but it would make sense to be at least limited to 2024) outside of an unofficial guide on redeeming the cape mentioning it apparently being the case; but I can’t seem to follow along that guide because nothing they tell you to do seems to be possible whenever I visit the linked pages.
I’m literally only interested in the 15th Anniversary Creeper Cape, and I’m not interested in the marketplace content for bedrock either.
This is the Link that was embedded in the Sign in to Claim Button. Maybe it still works: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/login?view=msa&return_url=/15th-anniversary?mcRef=redeemCape
When I click the sign in button, it redirects me to the same page I linked first in my post. I’m not sure if there are regional differences or what (I’m in Australia, but I don’t think it should matter), but in case we are seeing a different version of the page from each other, I manually saved both the pages to the waybackmachine so you can see exactly what I’m seeing. So essentially, your link takes me to this page, and clicking “Sign in with Microsoft” automatically signs me in and directs me to this page (the same as what I linked first in the post). On the latter page, I can’t find anything on it about redeeming the cape. I checked my profile settings in the cape section just to be sure it hadn’t somehow redeemed itself, but no, I don’t have it.
The link I sent, I also got from the waybackmachine. I also see the page with the tickets without a waybackmachine. Then it is probably no longer possible to get the cape. It’s a real shame that Mojang / Microsoft run fomo. There are now two options left for you. 1. Politely ask the Mojang support about the cape. 2. Ask on other platforms if anyone still has a code for the cape (If there was a code at all, I don’t remember if it wasn’t just added to the account).
Ok, thanks, I’ll see if I can contact Microsoft; I’ve not had a good history with their support though.
Oh, did you? Your link is of the original page and not a waybackmachine link. Likely what you did was you copied the link from the in-website address bar by mistake. The address contained in it is the original version of the address; not the archived one. So to copy the actual waybackmachine archived version of the link, you need to copy the address from the web-browser its selves own address bar. I made the same mistake in my last comment, and I had to edit it to fix it, because the links were directing to the original pages rather than the archived ones which I had manually saved.
Yes, I got the link from the waybackmachine. I went to the link and then right-clicked on the Sing in to Claim button and then copied the link, pasted it here and then removed the waybackmachine stuff so that the link is the original link again.
I found an official guide when hunting around in the Minecraft Help Center, but it also seems to not work just like the unofficial one I mentioned. It says to go to the 15th anniversary page (the one that currently tells us about buying tickets for Minecraft Experience) and scroll down to the “Get the 15th Anniversary Cape!” section, which doesn’t seem to exist anymore. So I think this is just a case of Mojang not updating their help page’s information. I decided that as much as I really want the cape, I can’t be bothered going through Microsoft Support for it; Microsoft Support just sucks, lol.
I also don’t know why Mojang/Microsoft handles it this way. They could make it available by next year, because I don’t think Minecraft has another birthday this year where there’s another cape. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you can still get the Cape.
