New Capes that we can easily obtain.

the only cape I have for minecraft (for the nintendo switch) is the pan cape, and my gold creeper cape has vanished. So I like to have a customizable cape, capes for marketplace, or perhaps exclusive capes for each console! (a nintendo switch cape would look so dope! :D ) I am in desperate need of more capes.

    Why can’t we just customize our capes, like we can with the rest of our skin? My custom skin kinda needs its own elytra design, which can only be obtained by activating a cape. (Tell you what, I guess the capes are more like trophies, so of course you can only get them under certain conditions, but there should be more circumstances where you can get a cape as well.)

    The reason they don't have more capes that are easier to get is because capes are supposed be to exclusive trophies for those select few who go to certain events and stuff, so they feel special or whatever... having a customizable cape that can be edited like a player skin (in reply to one of the comments) would ruin that exclusivity.

    However, I think they should have a generic cape that you can choose the color of using a color wheel/box, but the symbols on the cape are exclusive to events, so those lucky few who get them can still enjoy their special capes.

    Yes! I agree.

    This wouldn't ruin exclusivity, as certain symbols and textures could be exclusive while everything else isn't. I imagine it wouldn't be difficult to tell that a cape is special if the non-exclusive ones were more simplified.

    Perhaps certain capes for completing different lineups of achievements?

    The point mentioned by a certain commenter, (https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/7736193947917/comments/7747966207117) raises an excellent point. Several capes are associated with participation in an event, making them special for both the reason of exclusivity and sentimentality. However, locking all capes, and *only* releasing exclusives also feels pointless and counter productive. Why?

    First, lets talk about the Pancape. Pancape is in no way special or exclusive, just a fun sort of "default" BE players enjoy, and it serves to prove that having an easily attained cape didn't make the others any less special nor exclusive. In other words, I may have the Pancape in my inventory, but that gets me no closer to owning the Minecon Enderman cape.

    Capes are a fun means of expression, and I do believe we can have both common/easily attainable capes while also having exclusive/special capes that must be earned. In other words, The Minecraft Movie capes that had to be earned would rightfully remain exclusive to those that earned them. Expressive capes that came from circumstantial means like playing Bedrock (Pancape), or getting it free on the marketplace (Progress Pride Cape) feel wrong to limit/remove from use. There is a workable balance here, should people on all sides of the argument try.
