Buyable Capes

This could apply to both Java and Bedrock, but I think in-game capes (not unique Minecon ones or similarly exclusive ones) should be purchasable for all versions of Minecraft. This could help out certain people really make their skin pop, and would be a great addition to how people show their personality in-game, in addition to their skin.

    AWFUL IDEA PLEASE NO

    Okay so that was just my instant reaction to this post but to explain myself, essentially:

    Capes are supposed to be given out to celebrate players for achievements, dedication or milestones. Making them buyable takes away all of the special feeling that capes have. Terrible idea

    This would be great for Bedrock.

    I disagree, the whole thing with capes is that you cant buy them, you get them for doing something as a reward, as someone who never had the opportunity to go to minecon i wish there was a way to get earlier capes, but that shouldn't be paid

    I agree, I feel that theres a risk of bad actors targeting you because they want your capes, I would like to have an avenue to get the ones I like back instead of living with the fact they are GONE FOREVER if something happens to my account.

    For one, I didnt knew there was a cherry blossom cape until one entire year later, I would be open to pay a sum of cash to get it now.

    Spending some money for a cape its not a new concept for Mojang, think back to 2010s Minecons and the leaked attempt of including a cape with a merch purchase.

    I read some people's concerns, buy if the cosmetic content limits to only capes in Java, I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

    Maybe they can offer a cape for an event for free, and after the event is over, you can still get the cape for a price, I see it as a win-win for Mojang and users who want to collect capes but cannot follow the "Be there or Be square" MO all the time.

    It'd be good if they make capes exclusive for a year and then make them earnable through brand new achievements. That'd be even better than putting them up for sale. For the ones that had custom servers, maybe they could patch the servers into the game as minigames so you could still play them and earn their respective capes?

    They should make you do a goal, and give you an option to buy it after you completed challenges. To ensure they are still a rare thing. Not limited time thing, but like achievements unlocks clothes.
