The '''Copper Cape''' is a [[Minecraft:cape]] that was given out to promote [[Minecraft:The Copper Age]].

== Appearance ==
The cape's design depicts a variation of the pattern that appears on [[Minecraft:Chiseled Copper|chiseled copper]] and the top of [[Minecraft:Copper Chest|copper chests]]. This pattern has various stages of [[Minecraft:Oxidation|oxidization]], with the top of the cape depicting copper that is not oxidized, and the bottom of the cape depicting fully oxidized copper.

The [[Minecraft:elytra]] design uses a similar oxidization gradient, but depicts [[Minecraft:Copper Grate|copper grates]] instead.

== Distribution ==
