The Hero Cape is obtained through a cross-game promotion involving Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft Dungeons 2.

• Start by playing the original Minecraft Dungeons with the Microsoft account you intend to use for this promotional event.
• After playing the first game, sign in to Minecraft Dungeons 2 using the same Microsoft account at launch.
• Note that this process should be done before December 31, 2026, to redeem the cape in the game.

Surely, there can be a few differences between Minecraft Java and Bedrock, but once a promotional cape is dropped, you get it for both editions. Similarly, you can learn how to get the Hero Cape in Minecraft Java and Bedrock by following the steps below:

• Once you are able to redeem the Hero Cape in Minecraft Dungeons 2, you will receive information on how to get the same for the vanilla games.
• This information will mostly be a 25-digit cape code.
• So, head over to the Minecraft Redeem page and sign in to the Microsoft account that you used to play Dungeons 2.
• Enter the code in the text box and click on the Redeem button to get the Hero Cape.

What Does the Minecraft Hero Cape Look Like?

The Hero Cape, well, has a classic ‘Hero‘ appearance featuring a crimson-red design with golden detailing. It makes a fitting cosmetic for players who want their character to look like a seasoned dungeon crawler.

Since the cape is purely cosmetic, equipping it doesn’t provide any gameplay advantage. The main purpose of the Hero Cape is just to give you a distinctive look.

You can also get the Twisted Cape by purchasing the Minecraft Dungeons 2 pre-order before the game releases on September 29, 2026. Whereas purchasing the Deluxe Edition of the RPG sequel grants you the Soul Cape along with other cosmetic rewards.

Apart from these, there are a couple of items lined up as part of the Minecraft Dungeons 2 cape promotions. The Corrupted Creeper Cape can already be obtained if you’re attending the Xbox Gamescom event in-person, where they’ve already shown a demo of Minecraft Dungeons 2. While there is another Special Cape whose redemption process will be revealed soon.
