Will the New Minecraft Capes Ruin the Game?

No. They won't ruin the game, because what makes minecraft fun isn't a silly cosmetic.

They wont ruin the game since Minecraft isn’t a game where cosmetics are important. Infact, id say this benefits players as everyone gets a chance to own a cape

Minecraft Capes aren't ruined. It's just the demand for capes has gone up over the years. For example, I started playing Minecraft back in 2011. And throughout that time, I had never had any grasp on a cape. I always saw these rare capes on Xbox 360 back in the day, and I was like, "Man. I want one." So afterwards, I was jealous. Because my favorite Youtubers that played Xbox 360 Minecraft had capes, but I didn't have one. So throughout the years of me playing Minecraft I was always thinking like, "When am I going to have a cape some day? Because I want one." Then I switch over to Bedrock. Which is when I got my first capes. Back in 2018. (Which was during the time Xbox 360 Minecraft was also being discontinued). So during 2018, I got my first ever cape. "The founder Cape." And then again in 2019 for the "Pancake Cape". These capes, were the first time I have ever gotten a cape before. In fact, these capes were the first capes I have ever gotten in Minecraft history as a player since 2011. And then ever since then, I have always cherished these capes. The most recent cape I have gotten, was the Cherry cape. Which was during the 2023 Mob Vote. And when I did got that cape, It felt like I was getting something special. Like I was participating in something special that everyone was doing. Just like me. So to anyone that's reading this, don't listen to people that shame you for having a cape that feels special to you. Because (Just like me), we probably never had a cape during our Minecraft Journey. And we are now getting one for the first time. Remember people, Capes aren't ruined. It's the demand of capes, that has gone upwards over the years. And never forget that.

theres both rare and common capes, i think this is better. So now anyone can have a cape, but not anyone can get a rare cape. before, practically no one could have a cape.

remember when i got the migration cape on my old account of minecraft, i was very euphoric about it, then i got hacked, now i have the 3 capes on 3 of my accounts and yea am happy. expecting that these 3 capes will not become common in the comunity, atleast the tik tok or twitch cape.

Like you said, the rare capes like minecon ones, will still remain rare and valuable, which makes players possibly seeking out them for its rarity, instead of an idea of having a cape at all, which is much more healthy take.

I wish they made the 15 anniversary cape more rare. They could have made an adventure map you need to complete or made it only available for a day. It matches my skin perfectly too but it’s just not as cool when it’s not rare.

The new easy capes would be okay if it weren't for the lack of rare capes. The meaning of having a cape at all doesn't really matter that much to me as long as there is a balance (which there currently isn't), what does matter to me is the stories attached to each copy of the capes. With hard capes, for example here we'll use minecon, there is the whole story about how you saved up enough money to get a flight to the event and took that big leap across the globe and had the funniest time of your life. Meanwhile for easy capes it's just "I click button, then I get cape" or "i sit in live stream, then i get cape". That's what they're really ruining, the stories; which, need I remind you, Mojang is very big on.

It feels surreal hearing Oneshot sounds in a Minecraft video/documentary

I would rather have more capes than have less capes. It just makes it more fun for everyone, because you can still have the exclusivity of the old capes

I feel like adding more capes.makes the OG amd rare capes more valuable actually

Considering the amount of capes Mojang has removed from the community, I think this is pretty good compensation

TikTok cape looks like toothpaste, twitch cape looks like a charity participation award and the creeper cape is 9/10 it would have been better if they didn’t copy the 10th anniversary cape and made it green on photoshop

i like the 15th anniversary cape, my only issue is that it's way too easy to unlock. i was hoping they'd do like a challenge or something to unlock it. i dont really care much about the brainrot cape and the twitch cape tho

Yeah no do not add capes for the speedruns. That would only lead to more cheating scandals and we already had enough of those, especially with that cheated record of Dream.

I have all 3 of the capes back in may 15 and always wanted a cape ever since I switched Java and I did all of the steps to get them And I think Minecraft’s capes won’t ruin the game

I like the new capes, EXCITED FOR GROWING MY REPERTORY OF CAPES IN THE FUTURE! 😄😄😄

I got all three Minecraft capes and cosmetics from Minecraft bedrock and Java and I’m pretty thankful I would’ve missed out when all these beautiful capes

i love the editing :)

Cape shouldn't be give to everyone, fortnite (i hate it) really change the gaming world. Got the capes but play without, ain't no special means at least kids are happy so 🤷‍♂️
