Minecraft:Pan Cape

Template:For Template:Infobox cape The Pan capeTemplate:Only or The Pan Cape!Template:Only is a Minecraft:cape given out for free to all players. The name is a pun, as the cape itself is designed to look like a stack of pancakes.

Appearance

The cape features a stack of pancakes on a white plate, covered in butter and syrup and displayed against a light blue background. The elytra design resembles a pancake when closed.

Distribution

Standard version

This cape was originally used as a placeholder to create other capes, such as the Minecraft:Founder's Cape.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>

When it first released, players who participated in Template:BE's development versions (then called Minecraft Beta) were able to use the cape temporarily. Since the release of Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 1.16.0, this cape has been given out to all Bedrock Edition players by default.

Since May 8, 2025, the cape has also been given to all Template:JE players by default, including those who purchased the game after that date. Opening Bedrock Edition is not necessary to use the cape on Java Edition; however, there does appear to be a slight delay after purchasing the game before the cape becomes available on Java Edition.

Duplicate version

Template:Main Template:Exclusive There is a second version of this cape that was originally the Minecraft:Mojang Studios Cape. However, due to an exploit that allowed non-employees to claim the cape, its texture and name were changed to those of this cape, causing it to appear as a duplicate version of this cape in the inventory of those who claimed it. Its rarity was also changed from Legendary to Common.

Players who were able to claim the duplicated version of this cape can still equip it in the Minecraft:Character Creator.
