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.

    Ok, thanks, I’ll see if I can contact Microsoft; I’ve not had a good history with their support though.

    The link I sent, I also got from the waybackmachine

    Oh, did you? Your link is of the original page and not a waybackmachine link. Likely what you did was you copied the link from the in-website address bar by mistake. The address contained in it is the original version of the address; not the archived one. So to copy the actual waybackmachine archived version of the link, you need to copy the address from the web-browser its selves own address bar. I made the same mistake in my last comment, and I had to edit it to fix it, because the links were directing to the original pages rather than the archived ones which I had manually saved.

      Yes, I got the link from the waybackmachine. I went to the link and then right-clicked on the Sing in to Claim button and then copied the link, pasted it here and then removed the waybackmachine stuff so that the link is the original link again.
