With the Minecraft Live TwitchCon event, Mojang has revealed the method to get two fresh capes. The Crafter and the Builder capes are both tied to the special Minecraft Live that happened at TwitchCon in Rotterdam on May 30. So, check this guide to learn how to get the Crafter and Builder capes in Minecraft.
How to Get the New Crafter Cape in Minecraft
Learning how to get the Crafter and Builder cape in Minecraft is important because both of them are limited-time cosmetics. The Crafter cape is an exclusive reward for players attending TwitchCon Rotterdam during the Minecraft Live May 2026 event.
Obtaining the Minecraft Crafter cape is a fun, event-wide quest that requires players to participate in sessions or join activities themed around the game. Completing these helps you earn Emerald stickers that can be used to redeem the cape. Here are the easy steps to do it:
Get the Inventory Ribbon
Once you arrive at TwitchCon, head to the Swag Bag kiosk near the badge and wristband pickup area. The Minecraft staff present there will hand you an Inventory Ribbon attachment that clips onto your event badge. This ribbon contains three empty slots where the Emerald stickers will go.
Collect Emerald Stickers
Having found the ribbon, you must now earn three Emerald stickers to get the Crafter cape. These can be obtained by attending qualifying Minecraft sessions or participating in the Minecraft-themed activities at the venue.
The Minecraft sessions that can help you earn an Emerald sticker are as follows:
| Day of the Weekend | Minecraft Sessions |
|---|---|
| Saturday | -> The Midoffs LIVE by Tubbo (Minecraft Arena) -> Skyblock Kingdoms SMP – Minecraft in the Sky! (NomNom Theatre) -> Crafting a Character (NomNom Theatre) -> The Symbiotic Relationship of Artists and Creators (NomNom Theatre) -> The Non-Competitive Competitive Format of Minecraft Events (NomNom Theatre) -> Minecraft LIVE (Twitch Rivals Arena) |
| Sunday | -> Bannerfall SMP: A Clash Between Kingdoms (NomNom Theatre) -> Couriway’s 10,000th Speedrun Live (Minecraft Arena) -> Lifesteal SMP: Inside Minecraft’s Deadliest Server (Glitch Theatre) -> Gridlock: The Next Step in Minecraft Esports (Minecraft Arena) -> The Minecraft Gauntlet (Glitch Theatre) |
Now, the Minecraft activities that can earn you an Emerald sticker are as follows:
- The Sulfur Slide
- Be the Chicken Jockey
- Game Over Photo Op
- Dungeons 2 Note Block Challenge
- Dungeons 1 Gameplay
- Chicken Farm Gameplay
Completing one unique session or activity can earn you a single Minecraft Emerald sticker. So, you can combine different activities and sessions to get the stickers. For instance, attending two sessions and one activity or completing all three activities can earn you the three Emerald stickers. But repeating the same thing won’t earn you multiple stickers.
Redeem the Minecraft Crafter Cape
Once all three slots on your ribbon are filled, head to the Cape Trader area inside the Minecraft Village section of the arena. The respective staff will verify your completed ribbon and scan your event wristband. Once done, you’ll receive a Cape Card with a unique 25-character redemption code.
Now, all you need to do is redeem the code on the official Minecraft redemption page before the deadline. And, you will have the Crafter cape in your dressing room.
Do remember that every user can claim a single cape; however, there is no limit to the cape distribution among the players.
