You'll unlock the Yearning Cape if you participate in the event and complete the movie-themed challenges. This event-exclusive cape will be yours to keep. This isn’t just another showcase — you’ll actively play a role in A Minecraft Movie’s world through three confirmed quests and possibly more quest types.

• Village protection quest – Defend Midport Village from an all-out piglin attack. These aggressive mobs won’t hold back, so sharpen your swords and get ready to fight.
• Cart protection quest – It’s your job to escort a cart filled with precious cargo while facing off against waves of enemies.
• Resource gathering quest – Collect vital resources and more.

The event will be packed with hidden items scattered across Midport Village and beyond. We don’t know all the details for now. You might stumble upon a secret reference to the upcoming movie or even unlock additional surprises.
