The Yearn Cape is a cape that was given out as a promotion for A Minecraft Movie, alongside the Home Cape and the Menace Cape.

Appearance

The cape's design depicts the mine entrance as shown in A Minecraft Movie, with rails leading into the mine. The backside of the cape depicts a view into the outside world from within the mine.

The elytra design depicts the movie's version of Steve, as portrayed by Jack Black.

Distribution

Main article: A Minecraft Movie Live Event

The Yearn cape is obtained by completing all 6 quests in the A Minecraft Movie Live Event, an event server hosted from March 25, 2025 to April 14, 2025 on Bedrock Edition.[1]

History

?The "Idaho Cape" became available through the Marketplace. This was determined to be a placeholder for a cape related to the movie.

March 25, 2025The A Minecraft Movie Live Event server starts.
April 2, 2025The cape could be first obtained, because the sixth and final challenge could already be completed, even though appearing still visually locked.
April 4, 2025The final challenge was released, making the cape officially obtainable.
April 7, 2025Originally, the live event server was supposed to end, but it was later extended by seven more days.[2]
April 14, 2025The A Minecraft Movie Live Event server has ended.

Trivia

  • "Idaho" is a codename used for Marketplace items related to A Minecraft Movie.
  • The name and design of the cape is a reference to a quote from the film, wherein Steve recounts his origin story of "yearning for the mines",[3] which quickly turned into a meme before the movie had even been released.
    • This was itself a reference to an internet meme that jokingly suggested Minecraft's popularity among children indicated their desire to partake in child labor.[4][5]
