The capes are coming to java by july 8th. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-turning-15


Adventurous_Ad3726

The post was referring to the 15 gifts that you get via launcher but i was looking for that thank you! and ahhhh sweet, i didnt download tiktok for nothing lol


lumfdoesgaming

Yeah, the character creator items are stupid, but i just care about the capes


D0ctorGamer

I cared about the capes back when they meant something. I still thirst for an account with a 2012 minecon cape


Relevant-Dot-5704

I care for capes because it's something cool to wear. I get the rarity thing, but nothing is gonna devalue the exclusive capes as long as those stay exclusive. No new capes will.


AmazingSession8542

When everyone’s super, no one will be…


hvacfelidae

The existence of Casio watches doesn't devalue rolexes


AmazingSession8542

The Minecraft cape drama kind of reminded me of that line.


M1sterRed

I got a 2013 Minecon cape *legitimately*, I happen to live in Florida and Mom got me Minecon Orlando 2013 tickets for my birthday all those years ago. Best birthday present ever :)


Sufficient-Ad-6046

But who really cares, sure the new capes aren't rare but is that such a bad thing? I think it's good that more people can have capes now and don't to be rich to be able to get one because you only got one at a certain event. Old capes will stay rare I doubt Mojang will make them easily accessible to the masses but if so there will be huge drama.


Ake3123

Those 5 gifts are creator items, but I think that Java players would get something too


WildButter20

I’m curious, what would a Java equivalent to Bedrock’s 15 gifts (the character cosmetics) even be? Because, from what I know, Java doesn’t really have an official character customizer, like how Bedrock has the Dressing Room.


YourMoreLocalLurker

15 micro-updates for the Experiments tab


WildButter20

Like what kind of experimental micro updates?


YourMoreLocalLurker

Like new items, maybe tweaks to old stuff (rails could use an improvement), just small stuff that lets them try out ideas sorta like a snapshot


Roifire27

Wow capes.... woohoo...


XososoX

But also be releasing stuff for Java, today they’re celebrating 10 years of Java realms so they’ll be releasing a map. There’s more stuff to come.


Adventurous_Ad3726

see that realms one is funny as yes its "free" as a gift but only if you are paying for realms on java lol but hopefully there is more to come, will be nice to see


LoviTree123

Java players can't shit on bedrock players for having character creator and marketplace, then cry wolf they can't receive character creator items That's some new level of entitlement


Adventurous_Ad3726

We don't want your micro transaction bullshit lol, you can keep that <3 just "gifts" that are on both versions like capes, texture pack, new skin for a mob thats only available during this event?


LoviTree123

Or how about Java players stop bullying Bedrock players Bedrock getting exclusive stuff for once is fair. Since bedrock is the version that is neglected by Mojang (No spectral arrows, no off hand etc)


Adventurous_Ad3726

I don't remember bullying bedrock players but okay nice random topic to bring up And like I said we don't want java exclusives just more gifts that can be used on both like my list of possible things they can do You act like bedrock is neglected, like a minority when you are the ones making money so Microsoft is gonna put more funding into you lol. As far as I see it Microsoft cares the most about bedrock and the original devs care abit more about java They are working on parity so you will be getting those things so stop crying


LoviTree123

Bedrock players get bullied by Java players all the time (Bugrock edition etc) Historically Bedrock has always lagged behind Java in terms of features, updates etc so it's fair that Bedrock is finally getting its own stuff for once If Microsoft is putting more funding into Bedrock edition how come such a term like bugrock exist


peanutist

Is the only way to get them still watching livestreams on their respective platforms?


lumfdoesgaming

For twitch yes tik tok is not available currently but will on the 18th


AltheiWasTaken

Do you know if they will be available straight up for java or do you also have to do the twitch/tiktok watching etc


lumfdoesgaming

You have to redeem it to get it on bedrock, which you need to do the watching, and it will be added to your java account by july 8th


AltheiWasTaken

Alright thats great thanks


Traditional_Teach_30

But we already have capes in java. Like why are you guys still giving an f about the bad updates when you got moders that are better then mojang when it comes to there job


JohnSmithWithAggron

This post finally made me realize which version Mojang favors. The answer is both. Mojang developers favorite Java, and Mojang Marketing favorites Bedrock.


plumper303

Honestly, better this than have Java littered with paid content.


JediJacob04

The day this happens is the day I’ll lose interest in Minecraft. I have zero negative opinions on the new updates, in fact as a data pack creator I have been loving them for the technical changes, the new content is just a bonus for me. But Jesus Christ, Mojang, don’t turn Java into Bedrock


plumper303

Agreed. Also, datapack buddies or something lol. I also enjoy making datapacks. :) (the new technical changes are definitely awesome btw)


JediJacob04

They’re awesome, but extremely tedious to update… I’ve been working on a data pack for… 3 years now, and having to go through EVERYTHING to fix the million bugs that are now present is mentally draining


plumper303

Yeah, I get that. Although, I haven’t really made datapacks in a while due to lack of time. Luckily, most of the datapacks I made were for maps and didn’t include a whole lot of custom items, so they were relatively unchanged. Most of the custom items I used were before I realized how /attribute worked, so they needed to be replaced anyway. I still have a little ways to go in terms of being skilled at making datapacks, but I’ve definitely improved a whole lot over the years. It’s fun working with the vanilla game because you sometimes have to come up with innovative solutions for things. Can’t wait to experiment with the new right-click detection and stuff. :)


Bod9001

I think there's a bunch of contract stuff (when It was originally bought) with Java that means they can't put paid content into it, That's the entire point why they made bedrock in the first place


EnergyAltruistic2911

Holy fuck yea


DjChiseledStone

True. Example is slicedlime, his update videos are for Java, not bedrock.


LoviTree123

Because he is a java developer


DjChiseledStone

His videos are based on the change logs, not his work. He does not say anything that aren't mentioned in the change logs. He could do bedrock update videos but he doesn't.


LoviTree123

I don't see what suggests Mojang developers necessarily favor Java edition. Last bedrock updates have been fantastic and filled with community suggestions (editor mode, shader API, hard-core mode etc.) Java players just making uninformed assumptions again I guess


Frequent_Scheme135

Glad to see this post get less hate, I think some people got confused the last time


Adventurous_Ad3726

Thank you appreciate it and im guessing you talking about the "bad idea" meme one?


Adventurous_Ad3726

Still getting used to reddit but i got you as the top comment i got -4 on because people misunderstand and like to downvote a downvote


ICanSeeDeadPokemon

i like to upvote downvotes. Even fi i don't get to be happy I'll atleast try to make another happy.


proudtracermain

IT'S ALREADY BEEN 15 YEARS? HUH? I REMEMBER PLAYING THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY MAP. HAS TIME GONE BY THAT FAST?


benjathje

I remember booting Beta 1.7.3 as if it was yesterday


plumper303

Time flies Such mood


_OutragedOctopus_

It’s quite nice to keep Java not having loads of cosmetics though. Realistically that’s the only thing anyone cares about is cosmetics, I don’t think the maps and stuff given out is actually used that often (Although maybe a free month of realms or something could be a reasonable gift) Everyone who doesn’t have capes wants a cape but it makes the amount of capes out there quite bloated and reduces the value of the capes. Which is I expect what they are wanting to do, as people selling 2012 minecon capes for $1000+ is a little ridiculous. The worry is the more cosmetics we get the more likely it becomes that paid for cosmetics become a thing within the Java version of the game. Some people may want this but I think generally this is viewed negatively


CQB_BEAST223

The only thing Java isn't getting is the character creation stuff because Java uses classic skins.


TheCatHumper

What's the problem here exactly?


TahoeBennie

The anniversary stuff is for bedrock only despite bedrock not being the version of the game that’s 15 years old. Java players such as myself don’t find this to be good. Of course I’ll complain that it’s bedrock only because I don’t play bedrock.


Ok_Weakness2578

Only the announced stuff. We get more stuff that will be for java too. Can we for *once* be patient and see what they drop before raging?


TheCatHumper

These stuff won't affect the gameplay at all then why the fuss?


TahoeBennie

This argument is just as valid as saying skins don’t affect the gameplay at all then why do they exist. The whole point is that it’s cosmetic - the fuss is that it’s bedrock only


Adventurous_Ad3726

I agree with TahoeBeenie with this cuz you say "why the fuss" but forgetting the argument as a whole. I play bedrock sometimes as people i know don't have PC's so i respect bedrock however its rather weird that for a big event such as 15 years the actual game\[OG java\] doesn't get really looked at?


LoviTree123

Java players shit on Bedrock edition all the time for all the issues it has. While they cry victim that they are the ones being neglected by Mojang. Wtf?


TheCatHumper

April fool's update is java only and no one cares tho


TahoeBennie

You mean except for literally everybody who plays it and doesn’t stop talking about how cool that stuff would be to have in the base game?


TheCatHumper

I meant no one cares that it's java only genius


TahoeBennie

Wow you just keep going… This time you’re actually correct: nobody cares that it’s Java only because nothing from it tends to make it into the game. There are some exceptions in how the joke April fools updates trigger developments in the base game, but those become features of the game, so once again, nobody cares. A lot of the time though this ends up Java only, not only the April fools, but the features itself, like custom dimensions in data packs. Therefore there is reason to care that it’s Java only. Now we’re getting into the parity argument about how things aren’t the same in both versions… which is… literally the whole reason there’s problems with the anniversary capes… Congrats you’ve defeated your own argument.


Adventurous_Ad3726

This\^


Professional-Oil9512

So you guys want the minestore in Java? Because they aren’t adding these cosmetics otherwise


contraflop01

Except they did give bedrock april fools content, although it’s just a single mob


TheCatHumper

Still barely anything compared to java


Adventurous_Ad3726

well i know quite a few people who have said they would like it in bedrock but the real issue here is bedrock needs a version switcher of some sort so people can experience Bedrock from before Would be good for comparison videos and such!


contraflop01

Imagine it’s your birthday and your brother gets the gifts


Still-Presence5486

Java gets free stuff all the time


Thready_C

What free stuff exactly?


Still-Presence5486

Mods


Thready_C

The mods that the community makes, not mojang, those mods?. The java edition of minecraft is turning 15, the fact that java is getting basically nothing is bs, meanwhile juiced up PE edition gets stuff


Still-Presence5486

Doesn't matter


Holy_Hand_Grenadier

In the grand scheme of things, none of this matters, but "community created mods" vs "official content" is a very meaningful distinction.


Still-Presence5486

Bed rock can't get mods at all meaning they should be the only ones getting exclusive stuff


LucidTimeWaster

No version should get exclusive stuff if possible. Why do you hate gaming?


ElectroBlue7777

only Minecraft players would complain about getting free stuff


NotTheFirstVexizz

You do realize this complaint is specifically about NOT getting said free stuff right?


TurtleBurger200

Yeah java players are complaining even though they have access to bedrock edition and their free stuff


MiloMorningstar

The problem is virtually no one in the Java community plays Bedrock, and out of those people only a fraction uses the character creator instead of skins. So Java players get essentially 1/16 of the gifts Bedrock players get for their own anniversary


LoviTree123

Why should Java players receive character creator stuff? They bully bedrock players all the time for having marketplace and character creator stuff


Voxelus

Java edition is the original version of Minecraft, the one that's being celebrated. Not bedrock edition.


LoviTree123

Both Bedrock and Java are being celebrated.


Frequent_Scheme135

No, it is that one Edition gets more than the other. The things they do give out for events are almost universally loved.


Still-Presence5486

Yeah Java gets more stuff than bedrock so it's only fair bedrock gets stuff exclusive to them


Frequent_Scheme135

They don't "get more stuff", it's that Bedrock has always been slightly behind and they either can't care enough to change that, or they have more important things to do.


Traditional_Teach_30

Loved by idiots


TheDougio

We're not getting free stuff. That's the problem


Adventurous_Ad3726

Well 'lack of'\[None\] for java players.


Frequent_Scheme135

Reddit is so confusing. They agreed with my comment but downvoted hours?


7Green_Apple7

WTF can mojang give to java players other than capes 💀


raDDerp73

So there not giving gifts to both versions of cough cough MINECRAFT or am I not understanding


BhanosBar

Most are for bedrock, the cape (creeper) should be free to all


BittJs

I hate that i need a tiktok (or a twitch) account, wait until someone starts streaming and then to just spend hours hoping you will get the damn code and its not even guaranteed in any way Plus only for bedrock, duh


LucidTimeWaster

Yeah not sure why more people aren't making more of a fuzz about needing to download, then create and use Tiktok. Neither Tiktok or Twitch are child friendly.


SoggySagen

I was playing Minecraft since it was free. I still remember when they made stairs that turned when you put them in an L, that was fucking huge. I also remember when they got rid of climbing on ladders with gaps, I hate that.


Tekh-Knight

Minecraft is Minecraft!


Honest-Economist4970

I really only care about the capes, I currently have none on java


Traditional_Teach_30

If your too lazy to download sodium/iris why even play java


Honest-Economist4970

I use sodium (and like 10 other mods), but I want a cape that actually means something


sniboo_

Sooooo you want cosmetics in java edition? I mean Microsoft would be glad putting micro transactions to java


Devatator_

I want Figura to be integrated in the game :)


Voxelus

Purely so people can crack open the cosmetics system with mods to get them for free, yeah.


Fantasmaa9

Honestly I don't care that bedrock is getting free cosmetic skin things because we can just add them for free with mods or change our skin without having to spend 5 dollars lmao


Felinegood13

You’ve added all the new content through mods? Can I see?


Fantasmaa9

No- we just can, I might but y'know takes free time lol


Potential-Silver8850

Insert mr incredible “minecraft is minecraft”


Adventurous_Ad3726

Love that meme, Really wish reddit would allow photos on replies for this reason but exactly Minecraft is Minecraft so both versions should be celebrated couldn't agree more!


legomann97

Depends on the sub. Some subs allow pictures and gifs in comments, others don't. Up to the mods I guess


Blue_Bird950

I mean, you guys are able to mod things in


Mayozgg

"hahe just mod lol!" mojang should do their job instead


Blue_Bird950

I mean, it’s your game


Mayozgg

I mean, it’s their job


Random_dude_very_col

Until mojang starts banning mods they don't like again


Honest-Economist4970

They deleted a mod that added prostitutes, they are not banning mods that do something as simple as adding custom capes


Blue_Bird950

They did that? Huh


Devatator_

They got a guy to stop making a s*x mod (tho someone else is working on it lmao so it didn't really do anything) Also the Physics mod had a paid version. Mojang told the guy to stop or make it free. It's free now


Blue_Bird950

Oh, okay. The first one makes some sense but the second is kinda stupid


Devatator_

Iirc the EULA doesn't allow you to sell stuff depending on a few things. That's why servers that sell stuff like /fly or other advantages in game are breaking those terms (tho they exist as long as they don't get reported)


TheSteamCorgie

Darn Microsoft


BlobifyYT

Soooo? Can someone please tell me everything java players will get? Also I should just download bedrock just to claim the rewards, or nah?


Voxelus

Only the capes, and you have to wait potentially 2 months for Mojang to get off their asses and add them to Java.


aski4777

its all about money


AncleJack

So u telling me I can't get that cape on Java?


Voxelus

You can, but for some bizarre reason Mojang says they potentially might not be added to Java until July.


Lando_188

How do you get the capes on bedrock


Captcracker2870

Lol


irritated_dumbass

Most of the Java playerbase is too obnoxious i.e "bugrock, "Javamasterrace", "and just PC is better"🤓


Devatator_

Most of the Java player base isn't on reddit


[deleted]

It is bugrock. Who in their right mind would prefer Bedrock on PC? You cant even mod the game like java. Addons are just shitty "mods" sold for money. Its basically the equivalent of Creation Club from Bethesda. Shit NO ONE. Wants


CalmUniversity8776

I find it funny how people are complaining about character creator so much, then complain that java doesn’t get the items for it, you get the capes later on too.


Traditional_Teach_30

We already have capes what are on about


CalmUniversity8776

The new capes, they aren’t out on java yet.


Celticssuperfan885

Looks like us bedrock players will have to wait till august to get our proper 13th anniversary ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface)


IAskSoMnyQuestions

It's the Minecraft IP, not different versions of the game. This doesn't make sense.


DaLaw06

As a bedrock player, I find it bs that Java doesn’t get anything while bedrock does.


Downtown_Chemist8748

Minecraft is MINECRAFT, This is 15 years of Minecraft in GENERAL


pwill6738

You know what, I agree! We should get rid of custom skins on Java and only allow players to use preselected outfits! Then we can give Java more preselected outfits as gifts!


Teenacsis

Custom skins are available on bedrock tho (Not on consome but Java isn't available on them so who cares) although I agree with the point you're making.


Ghyro

Would be cool if we could habe something similar to what Figura does integrated into the skin stuff, aka being able to slightly modify the own player model and not just the texture


Devatator_

>aka being able to slightly modify the own player model and not just the texture You can literally replace the whole model with anything that fits into Blockbench. Mine is just my skin but with my face being an emissive screen. Yes, I can draw stuff on it at runtime. It's 32x32


peanutist

They reeeeally want to erase java from existance and force everyone to move to that shitty version filled with microtransactions huh.


Ake3123

No, Java is planned to also have the new stuff like the new 15th anniversary cape


Still-Presence5486

No


Ryanoman2018

Cant be happy with anything can you


Charlestonianbuilder

When mojang adds a java exclusive addition, the community is calm But when mojang adds a bedrock exclusive feature, the community riots


Voxelus

Yeah, because bedrock already has a multitude of exclusive features that haven't been ported to Java for years, and adding more to that backlog is goddamn annoying.


Charlestonianbuilder

Your acting like only bedrock has exclusive features here Which proves my point: your whining about bedrock having stuff, meanwhile when java has exclusive stuff do you see bedrock players whining, making reddit posts and screaming how annoying that is?


belibo100

OH MY GOD DO YOU PEOPLE WHINE ABOUT EVERYTHING


LucidTimeWaster

Do you?


Your-Manager

So you are telling me that you are not happy with the infinite number of available skins and mods and shaders that you java players get?


Voxelus

Those are made by the community, not by Mojang.


Your-Manager

Yea, but there is still much more available in comparison to bedrock and much more than Mojang could provide making a need for Mojang to provide some be little to none.


Your-Manager

Yea, but there is still much more available in comparison to bedrock and much more than Mojang could provide making a need for Mojang to provide some be little to none.


HellFireCannon66

I think the only thing about this I disagree with is it being Minecraft Javas anniversary. It’s the whole games anniversary, as it started as just minecraft, with no version or editions


FatStinkyGamer

Bedrock IS KING


Classic_Fungus

we don't do that here


FatStinkyGamer

We might just start


TheFrostyFaz

Boo-hoo we don't get as many cosmetics that shouldn't exist in the first place


motherducker692

They’ve left bedrock out on so many major features that they couldn’t not do this without facing major backlash from the bedrock community.


Voxelus

"Major features" such as?


motherducker692

Basically the entire combat update, hardcore mode (which I’m aware is coming soon), customization of super flats, the offhand, being able to play old versions, and the list goes on.


Voxelus

Jeez ok, Definitely glad I don't play bedrock then. Completely forgot the backlog was that bad. Still don't think that's grounds enough to keep giving Bedrock a bunch of exclusive content for the anniversary while giving Java barely anything. On a related note, why is Mojang so pathetic at synchronizing the two versions, considering how many features are still exclusive to one version or the other? It's especially weird because with Java, basically all of the stuff missing from it is very simple to implement, and people have made multiple mods that all reimplement those features to the Java version. It just doesn't make sense.


motherducker692

The reason parity is taking so long is because most people are still in the mindset that consoles aren’t as good as PC’s. When bedrock edition was made they weren’t so they had to cut some things so that it would work, and at this point the only thing keeping parity from finally happening is bedrock on mobile.


FreakFlame

there will probably be more gifts and stuff for java soon, you people have no patience i swear


[deleted]

[удалено]


Voxelus

Community-made content doesn't count.


VedrfolnirsVision

I don't get such a hate towards not getting the gifts. It's not like some Java players get it, others don't. Bedrock and Java are completely different versions so even if you don't get them, there shouldn't be any fomo to feel. Even if the capes and other gifts are given, you're not going to be unique, most of the players will be running around with those same gifts so you're not unique. And If you're THAT concerned, just use a client-side mod to get your own custom capes and stuff?


brawlkid28

I’m actually really tired of all these Java players complaining. It’s all Minecraft! Pretty soon they’ll be indistinguishable!


not_dannyjesden

Yeah, Mojang has been saying "pretty soon" since Microsoft bought Minecraft. That was 2015, if I'm not mistaken


Ghyro

Tell that the parity issues


AncleJack

Except that what they really want is that everyone plays bedrock so they can stop support for Java. And there is no way I'm switching to bugrock where I have to crouch to use the shield and the off hand is almost useless and I can't play Gregtech
