How to read it

Edition tells you whether a cape works on Java, Bedrock or both. Everything issued up to 2018, including all five MINECON capes, is Java only.

Status is the one that matters for value. Retired means the route that produced it is closed permanently, so the number of accounts carrying it can only fall from here.

Category explains the supply. An event cape is capped by ticket sales, a staff cape by headcount, and a promotional cape by however many people showed up inside the window, which is usually millions.
