Minecraft Dungeons 2 Codes: Every Cape Reward and How to Redeem Them

Minecraft Dungeons 2 has arrived with a selection of cosmetic cape rewards for players who want their adventurer to stand out. The currently known bonuses come from several different sources, including pre-orders, a Deluxe Edition purchase, prior play history in the first Minecraft Dungeons, and limited promotional campaigns.

However, the phrase "codes" can be slightly misleading in this case. Of the known rewards, only the Corrupted Creeper Cape uses a code that must be manually submitted in the game. Most of the other capes are entitlement-based bonuses, meaning they should be added automatically after a player has met the associated requirement and signs in with the appropriate Minecraft account.

That distinction matters, particularly for returning players trying to secure the Hero Cape before its eligibility deadline, as well as for anyone who received a Corrupted Creeper Cape code during an earlier event. Here is the full rundown of the currently known Minecraft Dungeons 2 cape rewards, what is still possible to claim, and how to use a valid in-game code.

All known Minecraft Dungeons 2 code and cape rewards

The following cosmetics have been identified for Minecraft Dungeons 2. Their methods of acquisition are not all the same, and some were available only during limited windows. A reward no longer being obtainable does not necessarily mean it cannot still be redeemed: players who already possess a valid code may still be able to use it.

For useful background on this topic, read The 5 Biggest Games to Watch in October 2026.

• Twisted Cape: Included with pre-orders of Minecraft Dungeons 2. This offer is no longer available for new purchases, but players who received the pre-order entitlement can still redeem it.
• Corrupted Creeper Cape: Distributed through select Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show promotions, as well as Twitch Drops and TikTok watch-reward campaigns. New codes are no longer being issued through those listed campaigns, but an unredeemed valid code can still be entered in-game.
• Hero Cape: Awarded to players who log into Minecraft Dungeons 2 using the same Minecraft account they used for Dungeons 1 before December 31, 2026.
• Soul Cape: Included with the purchase of the Minecraft Dungeons 2 Deluxe Edition.
• Aurora Cape: A separate viewing-related reward connected to Dungeons 2, but claimed in the vanilla Minecraft game rather than through Minecraft Dungeons 2.

For players checking whether they need to find a string of characters to type somewhere, the key point is simple: the Corrupted Creeper Cape is the only currently listed Dungeons 2 reward that requires a manual code entry. The Twisted, Hero, and Soul Capes are tied to account status or ownership rather than a code field.

How to redeem a Minecraft Dungeons 2 code

If you have a Corrupted Creeper Cape code from one of the earlier eligible promotions, it should be redeemed inside Minecraft Dungeons 2 itself. It is not claimed through the vanilla Minecraft reward flow, and attempting to use the wrong redemption location will not grant the Dungeons 2 item.

1. Launch Minecraft Dungeons 2 and enter the game.
2. Open the Settings menu.
3. Navigate to the General settings section.
4. Scroll to the bottom of that menu to find the code redemption box.
5. Enter the unique code exactly as provided.
6. Confirm the entry by pressing Enter or the equivalent button on a controller.

After a valid submission, the associated reward should be granted to the account. Because these codes are unique, players should take care not to share them publicly before redeeming them. A code that has already been used cannot be expected to work again, and codes obtained from unofficial resellers or social-media posts may be invalid, expired, or previously redeemed.

The Corrupted Creeper Cape is no longer being distributed

The Corrupted Creeper Cape is the most important reward to clarify because it is the item most directly associated with the code redemption menu. Codes were previously available through appearances and promotions connected to Gamescom, Tokyo Game Show, Twitch Drops, and TikTok watch rewards.

Those listed opportunities have ended, so players should not expect to earn a fresh Corrupted Creeper Cape code simply by watching streams or short-form video content now. Still, those who took part while the campaigns were active may have a code waiting in an event message, linked reward account, or promotional confirmation. If such a code has never been used, it can still be redeemed through the General settings menu in Dungeons 2.

This makes the cape a limited cosmetic rather than a standard unlock. It also explains why the game includes a dedicated redemption field even though the majority of currently known capes are attached automatically to a purchase or account history. The presence of that field leaves room for future one-time campaigns, convention giveaways, creator promotions, or event rewards.

How the other cape rewards work

Twisted Cape

The Twisted Cape was a pre-order bonus for Minecraft Dungeons 2. As with many pre-order cosmetics, the purchase period for obtaining it has passed. Players who pre-ordered should not need to enter a separate code if the bonus was correctly attached to their account; it is an entitlement that can still be redeemed by eligible owners.

If the cape does not appear as expected, the most useful first check is whether the game is being played with the same Minecraft account used for the original pre-order. Account mismatches are especially easy to make when a household has multiple profiles or when a player has changed their preferred sign-in method.

Hero Cape

The Hero Cape is the return-player reward. To qualify, players need to sign into Minecraft Dungeons 2 with the same Minecraft account previously used in Dungeons 1, and they must do so before December 31, 2026.

That deadline is the most time-sensitive item among the known rewards that can still be earned through normal eligibility. It is not enough simply to have played the first game in the past; the Dungeons 1 history needs to be associated with the exact account used to log into the sequel. Players with an old Dungeons 1 save or purchase linked to a different account should verify their login details sooner rather than later.

Unlike the Corrupted Creeper Cape, the Hero Cape is not described as a manual code reward. The game should recognize the returning account relationship and grant the cosmetic automatically once the requirement has been satisfied.

Soul Cape

The Soul Cape is the Deluxe Edition cosmetic. Its availability is connected to ownership of the Minecraft Dungeons 2 Deluxe Edition, not to an external event or a text code. Players who buy that edition should receive the entitlement through their account.

As with the pre-order cape, it is worth confirming that the account signed into the game is the one that owns the Deluxe Edition purchase. The reward is designed as an edition bonus, so entering a random code in the settings menu will not unlock it.

The Aurora Cape must be claimed in vanilla Minecraft

The Aurora Cape adds another wrinkle to the reward picture. It is associated with watching Dungeons 2, but it is not redeemed through Minecraft Dungeons 2. Instead, the reward is claimed in the standard vanilla version of Minecraft.

That separation is important. The Dungeons 2 in-game code field is specifically for Dungeons 2 code rewards, such as a valid Corrupted Creeper Cape code. It is not the place to obtain the Aurora Cape. Conversely, the vanilla Minecraft claim process is not the appropriate route for a Dungeons 2 code.

Players pursuing more than one cosmetic should therefore keep the two games and their reward systems distinct. A viewing reward can be connected to Dungeons 2 while still being delivered to vanilla Minecraft, whereas an event code intended for Dungeons 2 belongs in the sequel's own settings menu.

What may come next for Dungeons 2 codes

At present, the Corrupted Creeper Cape is the only known manually entered Minecraft Dungeons 2 code reward. But the inclusion of a dedicated redemption box suggests that it may not remain the only one forever. Limited cosmetics are a natural fit for community events, broadcasts, conventions, and promotional campaigns, all of which have already played a role in the cape lineup.

For now, players should focus on the rewards they can actually verify: redeem any unclaimed Corrupted Creeper Cape code they already own, make sure returning Dungeons 1 players log in before the end-of-2026 Hero Cape deadline, and confirm which account holds any pre-order or Deluxe Edition entitlement. Keeping those details straight is the best way to avoid missing a cosmetic that is already tied to an eligible account.

And if future Dungeons 2 campaigns introduce additional codes, the process is likely to remain straightforward: open Settings, head to General, scroll to the redemption box, and enter the unique code there.
