The Minecraft Vanilla Cape has players puzzled. Minecraft has a variety of cool capes. Did you know this? It's one of those item slots in the sandbox game that a lot of people probably don't pay attention to, but are there if you need them. A few of these items are for making things happen, such as transferring your Mojang account, or going to events, but a forthcoming one requires you to have done something.

The Minecraft Vanilla Cape is a hidden treasure at the moment. This is due to an article about the cape was posted on the official Minecraft website earlier in the week, only to be removed just a few hours later. It's a truly bizarre situation, and there's no reason as to why that's the situation.

Phoenix SC posted a video about the whole thing and even designed mockups to show the cape in action. The short version is that Mojang published a blog post that we've linked to, but which returned with a 404 error. After that the site was taken down. It explained that players who purchased the Java and Bedrock versions of Minecraft before June 6, 2022 would receive an extravagant Vanilla Cap.

However, the page was removed just a few hours later and is now only visited on the Wayback Machine, which is just very odd. Fake root The article isn't particularly alarming and it doesn't appear like it was made public in advance. While we don't know the reason it was removed, it's evident that it was. According to the Wikipedia, it was also posted on the Minecraft Discord server. Why was the post removed from the website?
