Mojang E3 Cape
Overview
A special event cape given to a limited number of visitors at E3 expos. Features a unique design not available through any other channel.
The Mojang E3 Cape is a special event cape handed out at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the major industry trade show, at the Mojang and Microsoft booth. Only a limited number of visitors who stopped by the booth received it, giving it a small, fixed holder pool and a unique design not offered through any other channel. Because E3 was an industry-and-press-focused event rather than a public Minecraft convention, the cape marks people who attended that particular show, making it a distinctive collectible tied to Minecraft's presence at one of gaming's biggest stages.
How to Get the Mojang E3 Cape
Distributed at the E3 gaming convention at the Mojang / Microsoft booth to select attendees.
The Mojang E3 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
E3 was for years the premier annual gaming industry expo in Los Angeles, where publishers including Microsoft showcased upcoming titles. At the Mojang/Microsoft booth, select attendees were given the E3 Cape as a promotional item, with the cape surfacing around the 1.9 era. Its distribution was confined to that trade-show context, so the holder count stayed limited, placing it in the very-rare tier. The cape's history is rooted in Minecraft's appearances at E3 and the booth giveaways that accompanied them, distinct from both the MineCon attendance capes and the broad launcher promotions.
In rarity terms the Mojang E3 Cape is classed as Very Rare. It became visible in the Java cape system around version 1.9, and it is currently no longer obtainable.
How to Equip the Mojang E3 Cape
The Mojang E3 Cape is a Java Edition event cape granted to booth-visitor accounts. Holders select it from the cape carousel on their 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 Mojang E3 Cape.
- Save your selection; the cape appears on your character the next time you load the game.
