Minecraft is now rolling out a stunning free Cherry Blossom Cape for certain players. Here’s all you need to know about whether you’re eligible to get one.

The upcoming 1.21 update is fresh in players’ minds, with new features being announced regularly, from new enemies, complete mob redesigns, and so much more.
