I checked Mojang’s official cape guide plus Beebom, Pocket Tactics, GamesRadar, and Dexerto, and here’s the short version: there are no universal Minecraft Dungeons 2 codes you can type in for free loot right now. Only the Corrupted Creeper Cape uses a real in-game code. Everything else unlocks automatically through your Microsoft account. Here’s what you can still claim in October 2026:
| Reward | How to Get It | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Hero Cape | Play Minecraft Dungeons, then log into Dungeons 2 on the same Microsoft account | Active until Dec 31, 2026 |
| Corrupted Creeper Cape | Redeem a code from Gamescom, Tokyo Game Show, or Twitch/TikTok watch rewards | Redeemable if you own a code |
| Soul Cape, Blub Pet, 4 Skins | Buy the Deluxe Edition | Active |
| Twisted Cape, Twisted Chicken, 2 Skins | Pre-order bonus | Ended (claim if you pre-ordered) |
The Corrupted Creeper Cape is the only reward you actually type in. Mojang gave out 1 million codes through a giveaway that closed on September 21, so if you saved one, redeem it now. The watch-reward route finishes through an in-game quest called WatchTime. Mojang says more opportunities will appear at future events, so I’ll update this page when they do.
The other rewards aren’t codes at all:
Nothing has technically expired in the code box, but these are no longer obtainable:
| Reward | Previous Method | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Corrupted Creeper giveaway codes | Online claim window (ended Sept 21) | Closed |
| Twisted Cape, Twisted Chicken, Steve and Alex skins | Pre-order | Ended |
Pre-order and Deluxe rewards skip this box. Just log into the game with your Microsoft account and confirm your pre-order items. Bought a physical pre-order? Redeem the code in the Xbox, Nintendo, or PlayStation store first.
The Hero Cape and Twisted Cape also unlock in Minecraft Java and Bedrock. Once you can equip the cape in Dungeons 2, log into Minecraft with the same Microsoft account. The Soul and Corrupted Creeper capes stay in Dungeons 2 only.
The Aurora Cape is a separate promo. Watch a rewards-enabled Dungeons 2 stream for 3 minutes on TikTok or 15 minutes on Twitch before October 14, then redeem the code at minecraft.net/redeem by October 31. It’s a Minecraft-only cape, so it won’t work in the Dungeons 2 code box.
Pro tip: This is the mistake I see most. The Corrupted Creeper code only works inside Dungeons 2, while the Aurora code only works on minecraft.net. Mixing them up is the top reason codes fail. Still unsure which cape fits your build? Check my Minecraft Dungeons 2 builds guide and beginner tips.
Here are the slip-ups I’d avoid before you waste a code or a purchase:
Mojang also teased a fifth item, the Special Cape, but hasn’t revealed how to unlock it. For now, the official line is to stay tuned, and I’ll add it here the moment it goes live.
No universal ones right now. The Corrupted Creeper Cape is the only real code, and new copies can’t be claimed anymore.
Go to Settings, open General, scroll to Exclusive Content, and click Enter Code.
Play the first Minecraft Dungeons, then log into Dungeons 2 with the same Microsoft account before December 31, 2026.
Check for typos, and remember each code is single-use. Dungeons 2 codes only work in-game, and the Aurora Cape code only works at minecraft.net/redeem.
