What capes and names say about a Minecraft account
Every profile shows the skin, the capes and the name history. Three of these things say how rare an account is: the capes, the name and, above 6 capes, the collection. The profile sums them up in a small tier; most accounts are Standard.
Which capes stand out on a profile?
Mass capes add little: Migrator gives 2 points. Event capes with a few thousand owners give far more, like MineCon 2011 with 65. The rarest cape of an account counts in full, the second rarest at 50%.
| Cape | Known owners | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Pan | 3,442,458 | 0 |
| Migrator | 6,132,061 | 2 |
| Mojang Office | 209,403 | 8 |
| Founder's | 178,752 | 9 |
| Minecraft Experience | 58,064 | 15 |
| Crafter | 5,942 | 40 |
| MineCon 2011 | 3,540 | 65 |
The fewer accounts have a cape and the longer it has been unavailable, the more points it gives. All 49 capes.
What does the name say?
- A very common short word like Stone: 80 points
- A common word like Harbor: 60 points
- Three pronounceable letters like Zor: 52 points
- An everyday handle: 3 points

Does a big cape collection count?
Yes, above 6 fully counting capes: every further one adds 4 points, 40 at most. Free capes do not count and code capes count a quarter, so stacking cheap capes hardly makes an account rarer.
How do the parts add up?
They are not simply added: each part closes part of the gap to 100. Two rare things give more than one, the score never passes 100, and another cape can never lower it. How rarity works.
Do account age or server stats count?
No. Server stats such as those from DonutSMP are shown on the profile, but they say how someone plays, not how rare the account is. Ranks and cosmetics on most servers cannot be seen from outside, and we cannot see when an account was created. What does not count.
