If you’ve managed to snag a rare promotional code for Minecraft Dungeons 2, or you’re just curious what all those capes and pets are about, you’re in the right place. This guide covers every cosmetic unlock tied to Dungeons 2 — which ones need codes, which unlock automatically, and exactly where to go to redeem them. We’ll walk through it step by step so you won’t miss a thing.
Before You Start
Minecraft Dungeons 2 launched on September 29, 2026, and introduced a collection of capes, skins, and pets. Unlike the original Minecraft, where you redeem codes on the official website, only one item in Dungeons 2 uses an in-game code — the rest are tied to events, pre-orders, or special editions. So even if you’ve heard about “Dungeons 2 codes,” the actual redemption flow depends on which item you’re after.
Edition & Platform
All steps below apply to Minecraft Dungeons 2 (not the original Minecraft Dungeons) on any platform where the game is available. You don’t need a specific modloader or launcher — just the game itself and a valid Microsoft account signed in.
The Only In-Game Code: Corrupted Creeper Cape
“Only one of these is an actual code, and that’s the Corrupted Creeper Cape, which can sadly no longer be obtained, but can still be redeemed in-game if you were lucky enough to get one.” — Danielle Rose, GamesRadar+
The Corrupted Creeper Cape is a glowing, electrified cosmetic that was originally given away at events like Gamescom, Tokyo Game Show, via Twitch Drops, or TikTok watch rewards. New codes are no longer being distributed, but if you have a valid unused code, it will still work. Here’s exactly how to redeem it:
- Lancement Minecraft Dungeons 2 from your platform.
- From the main menu, open Paramètres (the gear icon).
- Sélectionnez l'option Général tabulation.
- Scroll all the way to the bottom of the General settings menu. You’ll see a Code Redemption box with a text field.
- Enter your Corrupted Creeper Cape code exactly as it appears (case-sensitive) and press confirm.
- If the code is valid, the cape will be added to your cosmetic inventory immediately.
That’s it! This is the only item redeemed directly inside the game. Every other cosmetic either activates automatically or gives you a separate code for the vanilla Minecraft game.
Other Minecraft Dungeons 2 Cosmetics & How They Unlock
Many of the fancy capes and pets you see are automatic unlocks — no code entry required. Here’s a quick rundown so you know what you already own or can still earn.
Capes That Unlock Automatically
- Hero Cape — Play the original Donjons Minecraft and then sign into Minecraft Dungeons 2 avec le same Microsoft account avant December 31, 2026. The cape appears automatically in Dungeons 2. After that, the game provides a 25-digit code to redeem the same cape in Minecraft Java and Bedrock Editions (see below).
- Twisted Cape, Twisted Chicken pet, and Steve/Alex skins — These were a pre-order bundle for Minecraft Dungeons 2. They are no longer obtainable unless you pre-ordered the game.
- Soul Cape, dark-golden skin variants, and Blub pet — Exclusive to the Deluxe Edition of the game. If you own that edition, they unlock automatically with no code needed.
- Special Cape — Teased as a future promotional item. No details on how to get it have been announced yet.
The Aurora Cape (Vanilla Minecraft Code)
Le Aurora Cape (a stunning, northern-lights-inspired design) is obtained by watching rewards-enabled Minecraft Dungeons 2 livestreams on TikTok and Twitch during a specific window:
- TikTok: watch for a minimum of 3 minutes.
- Twitch: watch for a minimum of 15 minutes.
- Promotional period: September 29 – October 14, 2026.
After meeting the watch requirements, you’ll receive a code for the vanilla Minecraft game (Java and Bedrock), not for Dungeons 2 itself. Redeem it on the official Minecraft website under your profile settings.
Redeeming Vanilla Minecraft Cape Codes
When you receive a 25-digit cape code — for example, from the Hero Cape unlock or the Aurora Cape — you’ll need to apply it to your Minecraft account, not in Dungeons 2.
- Go to the official Minecraft Redeem page: minecraft.net/redeem.
- Sign in with your Microsoft account (the one linked to your Minecraft license).
- Enter the 25-digit code and click Redeem.
- Lancement Minecraft édition Java ou Édition Bedrock — the cape will appear in your character creator or skin customizer.
That’s the full picture! Most Minecraft Dungeons 2 goodies don’t require any code at all — just a few clicks or some loyalty to the franchise.
Quick Recap & What’s Next
You now know that only the Corrupted Creeper Cape uses an in-game code in Minecraft Dungeons 2, and you can still redeem it if you have one. Other capes unlock automatically based on your game edition, pre-order status, or by linking accounts before the deadline. Livestream rewards like the Aurora Cape give codes for the main Minecraft game.
