I'm really late to grab mine, but can I even still get it? The cape is still being advertised in the official launcher, but whenever I go to the redeem page which was linked in the article advertised in the launcher, I keep getting taken to the 15th anniversary page where all they tell me is about all the bedrock edition marketplace content you can redeem for the anniversary, and a history of Minecraft over each of its 15 years.

I can't find anything about a cape on the page. I also can't find anything about it being a limited time offer (but it would make sense to be at least limited to 2024) outside of an unofficial guide on redeeming the cape mentioning it apparently being the case; but I can't seem to follow along that guide because nothing they tell you to do seems to be possible whenever I visit the linked pages.

I found an official guide when hunting around in the Minecraft Help Center, but it also seems to not work just like the unofficial one I mentioned. It says to go to the 15th anniversary page (the one that currently tells us about buying tickets for Minecraft Experience) and scroll down to the "Get the 15th Anniversary Cape!" section, which doesn't seem to exist anymore. So I think this is just a case of Mojang not updating their help page's information. I decided that as much as I really want the cape, I can't be bothered going through Microsoft Support for it; Microsoft Support just sucks, lol.

I also don't know why Mojang/Microsoft handles it this way. They could make it available by next year, because I don't think Minecraft has another birthday this year where there's another cape. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you can still get the Cape.
