Distribution

[edit | edit source]

Players who bought Minecraft: Java Edition before December 1, 2020 got this cape when migrating their account.

The cape was first given out around July 9, 2021 and could be obtained until the end of the migration period on September 19, 2023.

History

[edit | edit source]
October 21, 2020Java Edition account migration from Mojang to Microsoft accounts is announced. The Migrator Cape is revealed as a reward for migrating.[1]
December 1, 2020Purchases of Minecraft: Java Edition made on or after this date use Microsoft accounts and are ineligible for migration.[2]
June 24, 2021The migration period starts, with a limited number of accounts being allowed to migrate. From here, accounts are granted the ability to migrate in batches until all accounts have it.[3]
July 9, 2021The Migrator Cape is implemented and given to players who have already migrated. Players who migrate past this point receive it immediately.[4]
November 24, 2021All accounts that haven't yet received it are given the ability to migrate.[5]
September 19, 2023The migration period comes to an end. As of this date, players can no longer migrate or obtain the Migrator cape.[6]

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • In addition to the Migrator Cape, players who migrated were originally supposed to receive veteran capes; there would have been a different veteran cape "for each year [they] have played Java Edition".[7][8] At the end of the migration process, veteran capes were jokingly stated to be "a lie" by a Mojang employee.[9] In 2025, Marc Watson explained that veteran capes were scrapped due to technical limitations.[10]
