Minecraft Dungeons II guide
How to get Hero and Twisted Capes
Hero Cape requires playing Minecraft Dungeons I and then logging into Dungeons II before December 31, 2026 with the same Microsoft account. Twisted Cape requires a pre-order, then an after-launch Dungeons II sign-in to confirm the pre-order items.
Use the cape cards to choose the right route. Before launch, you can prepare the account, play Dungeons I for Hero, or place a Twisted pre-order; the Dungeons II sign-in steps wait for release.

What you can do before launch
Minecraft Dungeons II releases September 29, 2026. Before launch, choose the Microsoft account you will use in game, play Dungeons I for Hero, or place a Twisted pre-order if that offer matters to you.
The Dungeons II sign-in steps cannot happen until release. The listed Twisted offer expires September 28, 2026, with no stated cutoff hour or timezone.
Keep planning: Separate the pre-order offer from edition extras

Optional: use the cape in Java or Bedrock
If you only want a cape in Dungeons II, stop after it is available to equip there. Java and Bedrock are a separate follow-on step, not another requirement for the Dungeons II route.
If you want the cape there too, first confirm it can be equipped in Dungeons II. Then sign into the Java or Bedrock version you use with the same Microsoft account.

If you pre-ordered a physical copy
This is an extra branch for a physical Twisted pre-order. Redeem the code in the package through the matching platform service before you continue the promotion flow in game.
Platform-code redemption is separate from signing into Dungeons II with the Microsoft account used for the promotion. An internet connection is needed for promotion verification.
Official code redemption: Xbox: redeem a code · Nintendo: redeem a code · PlayStation: Profile > Redeem Code
If a cape has not appeared
Start with the game where you expect the cape. For Dungeons II, recheck the relevant promotion conditions and the Microsoft account you used in game. For Java or Bedrock, first make sure the cape is available to equip in Dungeons II, then recheck that account there.
For a Twisted pre-order, recheck the order or receipt; for a physical copy, also recheck the package-code redemption. Stay connected for promotion verification. The official instructions note that confirmation can be delayed by technical issues, without giving a fixed arrival time.
If those checks do not explain the result, read the promotion instructions or use the Minecraft Help Center.
