== Trivia ==
* The cape is based on a "spare" {{MCD2}} cape concept resembling {{MCD2|the Sift}}, which [[Minecraft:Marc Watson]] and two other artists adapted.<ref name="marc">{{Bsky|marc-irl.bsky.social|3mwmcafh5is2d|Fun fact, I kinda sorta art directed this one? The original was one of our spare Dungeons II concepts, a Sift-like cape. I held onto it for a while, gave additional feedback, and two more Minecraft artists worked on the cape and wings. I think I named it too, it’s been “aurora” for a while.|September 28, 2026|userlink=[[Minecraft:Marc Watson]]}}</ref>
** Watson has said that "at least 6 people were involved in its design over time."<ref>{{bsky|marc-irl.bsky.social|3mwmccniupc2d|For such a simple art asset, at least 6 people were involved in its design over time.|September 28, 2026|userlink=[[Minecraft:Marc Watson]]}}</ref>
* The cape is referred to as the "CCC Item" on the page to redeem the cape.
