Capes are a fantastic way to personalize your character in Minecraft. However, these rare accessories can be challenging to acquire, making it essential to seize the opportunity when they become available. Among the limited capes, the Home and Menace Capes stand out for players wishing to enhance their collection.

These capes are often available only for a limited time, so it’s crucial to know how to unlock them during events. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to unlock the Home and Menace Capes during the Minecraft Movie Live Event.

You can unlock the Home Cape by watching a Minecraft livestream on Twitch for at least three minutes. This Twitch drop is available until April 6, giving you time to earn it.

Check for the “Watch to earn drops!” message in the chat to ensure eligibility.
Watch for at least three minutes.
Access the notifications option in the top right corner and click on the drop.
Select the “redeem” option to obtain your Home Cape code.

Click the magnifying glass in the top right corner to search.
Type “Minecraft” into the search bar.

How to Claim Your Home and Menace Capes in Minecraft

To claim your Home and Menace Capes, visit the official movie cape code redemption page and enter each of the codes you received. Ensure you’re signed in to the correct account by selecting the option in the top right corner.

After completing the redemption process, the capes will be unlocked and ready for you to equip. Note that it may take some time for the capes to appear in your inventory—don’t worry if they don’t show up immediately, as long as you followed all steps correctly.

Note that you must have Minecraft: Bedrock Edition to unlock these capes through the website. If you predominantly play Bedrock, you’re set. However, if you’re a Minecraft: Java Edition player, you’ll need to unlock the capes on Bedrock first for them to show up on Java. Rest assured, all Java users have free access to Bedrock. Just ensure both versions are linked to the same account before proceeding to redeem your codes.
