    No, no it is not.
    Without commiting a warcrime to make even the Canadians blush, a cape is a fashion piece, a cloak is utilitarian.
    Capes usually can only barely close in front of the person, usually hangs to around the waist, and often does not have a hood.
    Cloaks can wrap around the whole body, usually hang to the lower leg, and often had hoods since they served the same function as coats in modern times.

    0:27 - One minor issue with this specific animation sequence: a llama (or alpaca, for that matter) will not spit at you and then "pronk" away.
    ("Pronking" is the term used for the exact style of running featured here, it's a playful, leaping romp as opposed to running from a perceived threat. Running from a threat would be faster, ears would be pinned back against the head for aerodynamics, head and neck in a roughly-straight forward line with the torso, following a zigzag path. The only time jumping would be done would be to clear an obstacle - and yes, they can actually get some significant air! They also lean into corners like a motorcycle rider does.)
    The More You Know 🌈🌟
    I will, however, give them massive credit for animating "pronking" with such a high degree of accuracy! Someone has clearly done their research, they simply chose the wrong type of run to animate. That attention-to-detail deserves recognition.

    @CommRichard 27 днів тому +66

    We really do need more free capes anyways (but not overly excessive or in vast quantities) since not all of us are able, or even capable, of going to a minecon for a cape (examples: kids who's parents say No, or if the minecon event is held far across or outside the country they reside in). Mojang being more inclusive of its community by allowing a more broad group, or even the entirety of the playerbase, to have a chance of getting capes for free lately is a great move, as most players would never get the chance to get a cape as most of them are just KIDS, a fair majority of them being around 12 or so, and their parents would simply tell them NO if they ask to go to the minecon events that occasionally pop up, leaving them completely left out on a chance to get something cool/unique to add to their character.
    As for a "cape economy"...why does this even exist, it's just a cape, can't be bought, sold or marketed from what I'm aware of (outside of bedrock edition anyways, you can buy/sell capes on bedrock), so it's no major loss of any kind for capes to be distributed for free on special occasions (15 year anniversary), as these occasions should be rightfully accessible to ALL players around the world WITHOUT having to go to a certain location in the world to attend a celebration just to submit their minecraft name for a cape that only a few hundreds or few thousands (or tens or hundreds of thousands) will be able to obtain, leaving out a massive majority of the community.

    I don't think the cape economy was ruined, as capes have a subjective value. Some people determine the 'cape economy' as the total number of capes therefore the value of the cape is determined by the amount of total people who have a cape (which tbf didn't account for things like optifine). Others determine the 'cape economy' based on individual capes and the total number of capes that exist there.
    I personally believe in the latter, where some capes are more valuable than the others. The 2012 cape, I believe, has the fewest of all capes that could be given to regular players. This is probably the most valuable cape, more valuable than the 2016 cape.
    There is an entire underground market of minecraft account sellers, and capes are a really hot thing. Accounts that have older capes can legitimately go for a couple hundred to thousands. So my experience within this underground market tells me that the value of capes is relative to the number of individual capes possessed by people, and not the total number of capes that exist.

    Minecraft has a cape called the mapmaker's cape. This cape is given to players who submit and have had approved a number of maps (depending on the type, but no less than 3) for Realms. You may have seen this cape on the backs of Xisumavoid and Sethbling.
    At the end of the guidelines form, which describes the rules one must follow to get their map approved, they stress that you should not submit maps with the end goal of obtaining the cape. And reading that made me think. Ok, if they don't want people to work towards this cape, what cape, then, could someone realistically earn? The other options seemed to be... spend hundreds of dollars to attend Minecon (as most of the Minecon capes required attendance), work for Mojang as an employee or bug moderator, or do some arbitrary act that happens to catch the attention of a Mojang employee. Between all of those, it seems like learning how to make Minecraft maps is the most widely accessible option.
    So I appreciate the presence of newer capes which are more accessible. I've always wanted something to warm my back.

    I don't feel like the cape economy is "ruined." It might mean that capes aren't valued as much anymore since a lot more people have them, but that can also be a good thing too. Because the newer capes are more common, it discourages account theft because one of the primary reasons for stealing is because of exclusive capes that only one account has. Plus, it gives more casual players who otherwise would not have had the chance to attend a Minecon to get a "slice of the cake" as well, so to speak. As someone who has experienced this firsthand, I appreciate that Mojang is allowing capes to become more accessible all types of players.

    • @zwxyer

      Cape accessibility doesn't change anything about the game, so there is no argument to be made for "everyone should be able to" here.
      Also the entire problem here isn't about capes being exclusive or not, it's about people being crazy enough to buy accounts for a irrelevant cosmetic. It's not just the og cape owner elitists, it's also the people caring so much about the capes to make it look like a bigger deal than it is.

    They have a very good point honestly, the amount of people who legitimately got pissed off about minecraft giving away that migrator cape was ridiculous. Capes used to be seen as a status symbol because of how rare and "special" they were and that is elitism... elitism for a literal rectangle attached to your minecraft skin. And the worst part is that they got upset over literally nothing, the minecon capes are still unique and can still be viewed as a status symbol if you're so inclined. Really, what mojang should do is just make capes a part of your skin. That way they are fully customizable and you can make your own designs.
    Also for those not aware, the "cape economy" does exist in a form. There are huge markets for selling minecraft accounts, focused on usernames and capes.

    It would be nice to at least have a *generic* design for a special occasion. Like a cape for your birthday, a cape for halloween, a cape for game's aniversary, etc. Just little one off day capes. But the cape you chose can still be the preference cape.

    Personally since I found out you can only get capes during events which I can't attend most of the time, I also have a slight disdain to them... But at the same time, my being capeless does separate me from those that are caped and thus we have individuality.
    If everyone gets capes... It's all going to be the same. But in the end it's just a cape so I don't really wanna care much.

    I'd honestly endorse the route of custom capes. Either extend the dimensions or modify the arrangement of custom skin textures (again) to dedicate spots for a custom cape and elytra design.
    Change the cape options in the skin settings to "Off", "Official" and "Custom".
    People will still have the choice to care about capes, show off their event limited capes, and now get to accessorize even more.
    Just think how creative people could get: various long hairstyles, scarves that ripple, fantasy wings of their choice, sheathed weapons, backpacks -- *MOJANG, PLEASE.*

    Bro, why can't we just make our own capes? I mean, I get the idea of them being special being . . . you know, special. But what would you rather do? Spend almost a thousand dollars just to get to Minecon, which also has an entry fee, and BUY a thumbdrive for like, 20, maybe 30 dollars for a cape. Have more of them be freely accessible, but come out at a very slow pace, and still being possible to totally miss out on. Or be able to make it yourself for free. Make it WHATEVER you want. Have ready access to NEW capes almost DAILY. And some of the current ones are pretty simple, I could see that being made by ANYONE in the community. The only thing they've got is the fact these all come with a unique Elytra texture. But I'm 100% sure we could provide a means of making both the cape and Elytra texture in the same software. It'd take time, but still, it's very doable. And I'm tired of games having economies. I already paid 30 bucks out the ass, not considering OTHER platform versions I do own, to play a game that had none of that. A game of infinite creativity. Giving us free reign over cape PRODUCTION would absolutely bust the internet. In both good ways, and sometimes morally questionable ways, but still. It's not just a cape anymore. It can be a painting on your back. There is. An infinite amount of potential with that. Which is being kinda neglected . . . in a game about creativity.

    "Elitist?" Capes in the pre-Microsoft days were _rewards_ for people who attended Minecon or made significant contributions to the game. There was nothing "elite" about them, you didn't pay a premium to get one, it meant you were a community member who did something special worth recognition. Do you all really prefer Microsoft's style of basically never recognizing community members at all and maintaining this corporate distance from their players?

    honestly, i don't mind capes being a thing more people can acquire. by and large, all capes are earned through some significant event - like afaik, no account that doesn't migrate from a mojang one gets the migrators cape, so even if there are a lot of them no new ones can be made anymore. that makes the migrators capes special, it marks you as one of the supporters during minecraft's most prolific era. it's not the cape model itself that's important as much as the specific design on that cape - them being so tough to get and usually corresponding to some real world event or activity gives them a special feeling that most items and cosmetics in games don't have anymore. i'll be pretty annoyed if they start just selling them, though.
