Cherry Blossom Cape
Overview
A pink cape decorated with cherry blossom petals, celebrating the addition of the Cherry Grove biome in the Trails & Tales update.
The Cherry Blossom Cape is a soft pink cloak scattered with falling cherry blossom petals, released to celebrate the new Cherry Grove biome that arrived with the Trails & Tales update. It was a launcher-based giveaway: simply signing into the Minecraft Launcher during the promotional window granted it, which is why it became a common cape held by a wide swathe of active players. Its gentle pink palette is among the most decorative of the modern free capes, and it pairs naturally with the spring-themed builds and skins that the Cherry Grove biome inspired across the community.
How to Get the Cherry Blossom Cape
Awarded to all players who signed into the Minecraft Launcher during the Cherry Blossom promotion event in 2023.
The Cherry Blossom Cape is no longer obtainable. The window to earn it has closed, and Mojang does not sell or re-issue it. Buying or selling accounts to acquire it breaks Minecraft's usage rules. Players who already own it can keep using it.
History & Rarity
The Trails & Tales update (1.20) shipped in 2023 and introduced the cherry blossom trees and Cherry Grove biome, a pink-flowered woodland that quickly became a fan favourite. To tie the launcher experience to the update, Mojang ran a Cherry Blossom promotion that granted the cape to anyone who logged in during the event period. Because the requirement was simply signing in, the cape spread widely and is therefore common. It represents the modern style of cape distribution, where logging in during a themed window, rather than attending an event, is the path to ownership.
In rarity terms the Cherry Blossom Cape is classed as Common. It became visible in the Java cape system around version 1.20, and it is currently no longer obtainable.
How to Equip the Cherry Blossom Cape
The Cherry Blossom Cape is a Java Edition cape granted to the Microsoft account that signed in during the promotion. It is selected from the cape carousel on the minecraft.net Java profile.
On Java Edition, capes are managed from your minecraft.net profile, not from inside the game:
- Sign in at minecraft.net with the Microsoft account that owns the cape.
- Open your Minecraft: Java Edition profile page (Profile, then the skins/capes area).
- Find the cape carousel and select Cherry Blossom Cape.
- Save your selection; the cape appears on your character the next time you load the game.
