    The Copper Cape Quest is almost over

    The copper cape is within reach!

    That big brass ring is right at our collective fingertips! Except in this case, it’s not brass but copper, not a ring but a cape, and the fingertips are replaced by the superior blocky hand. I have to say, I am so impressed by all of you! In the last two weeks, we’ve come together to build over 75 million copper golems and organized 500 million items! That is incredible teamwork, and it could only have been powered by the beautiful and noble metal that is copper.

    Before we get into the details for the last stretch, can we take a moment to appreciate how nice and organized everything is now?! Those clonky champs have cleared up so much stuff! I didn’t even realize I had half of it, and now I can keep ignoring it but in a much more informed manner. Especially with all the new, shiny rewards that the first and second challenges have bestowed upon us! Have you grabbed your Copper Golem Plushie and Copper Golem Slippers from the Dressing Room? All you Java players can sport your new Copper Welder skin by downloading it below:

    Three ways to earn your copper cape *

    What’s that? There are three ways to complete the final task and earn the Copper Cape? And you’re interested in all of these three mysterious options? Of course you are. This is Minecraft. The place where you can use a water bucket to water your crops or break your fall. So there is obviously more than one way to get that cape! But this is between you, me, and the rest of the community, got it? Anyone who doesn’t fall into that category, look away! Look over there! The rest of you, listen up.

    Place a copper golem statue in-game 

    The cape is a majestic piece of clothing, and nothing screams fashion more than striking a pose. So that is exactly what we’re all going to do! Place a copper statue in-game (Minecraft: Bedrock Edition only) before 10am PDT October 20, 2025. That’s it. Pick a pose, pick a spot, and place it in one of your Minecraft worlds and voila!

    There are two ways you can complete this challenge in-game. You can either wait for one of your copper golems to fully oxidize into a statue, pick it up and place it again for it to count towards the challenge – or you can just use Creative Mode. If playing in Survival, don’t get distracted by that gorgeous green hue and forget about the picking up and placing! The pick-and-place is key here. The move is probably going to be trending on TikTok by the time you read this, that’s how important it is!

    The choice is yours, chum! Whatever you decide, place that gorgeous copper golem statue and you’ll get your cape sent to you by October 31, 2025 so you can continue building with copper in style!

    Take on the WatchTime Quests

    The Copper Cape can also be yours through a series of WatchTime Quests on Twitch or TikTok. On TikTok, watch 3 minutes of Minecraft on any Game Reward enabled stream.

    The final time frame for the challenge is October 13, 8 AM PDT to October 20, 10 PM PDT. Congratulations for reaching the end of the challenge, and once again – great work! However you earn your cape, I hope you feel fabulous in it. The only thing more beautiful than the copper cape is this community. We did it!
