How to Equip a Cape on Minecraft Bedrock (Dressing Room Guide)

On Minecraft Bedrock Edition capes live in the Dressing Room, the same place you change your character. It works the same on Windows, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and mobile.

Equip a cape step by step

1. From the main menu, open the Dressing Room.
2. Select your character, then choose Edit Character.
3. Open the Capes section (on some versions it sits under the clothing categories).
4. Pick the cape you redeemed and confirm.

The cape is saved to your character and shows in worlds, Realms and servers that display capes.

Remove or change a cape

Open the same Capes section and select None, or choose another cape you own.

Redeemed a cape but cannot see it?

• Make sure you are signed in with the same Microsoft account you used at minecraft.net/redeem.
• Restart the game so it refreshes your owned items.
• Check that the cape is a Java and Bedrock cape. Special cosmetics like the Corrupted Creeper Cape belong to Minecraft Dungeons II instead.
