MineCon 2015 Cape
Overview
A purple and white cape featuring an iron golem design. Approximately 10,000 attendees received this cape at the largest MineCon ever.
The MineCon 2015 Cape is a purple-and-white cloak featuring an iron golem, handed to attendees of the largest physical MineCon ever held, at the ExCeL London exhibition centre in the United Kingdom. With roughly 10,000 attendees, its holder pool is the biggest of the convention capes, yet it is still classed as legendary because that figure is minuscule next to Minecraft's worldwide audience. The iron golem motif celebrates one of the game's protective mob companions, and the bold purple sets it apart visually from every other MineCon cape. There was no MineCon 2014, which makes the jump from 2013 to 2015 a notable gap in the series.
How to Get the MineCon 2015 Cape
Exclusively given to attendees of MineCon 2015, held at the ExCeL London exhibition centre in London, United Kingdom.
The MineCon 2015 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
MineCon 2015 was held on July 4-5, 2015, at ExCeL London, the only MineCon split across two days at that scale, during the lead-up to the 1.9 'Combat Update.' Mojang skipped a 2014 convention, so 2015 returned bigger than ever and set the all-time attendance record for a physical MineCon. The iron golem design and London venue mark this cape's identity, and its status as the high-water mark of in-person MineCon attendance gives it particular significance in the cape timeline.
In rarity terms the MineCon 2015 Cape is classed as Legendary. It became visible in the Java cape system around version 1.9, and it is currently no longer obtainable.
How to Equip the MineCon 2015 Cape
The MineCon 2015 Cape is a Java Edition attendance cape bound to the attendee account, chosen from the cape carousel on the minecraft.net Java profile. It cannot be transferred between accounts.
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 MineCon 2015 Cape.
- Save your selection; the cape appears on your character the next time you load the game.
