History of the Millionth Customer cape

Minecraft passed one million copies sold on January 12, 2011, while the game was still in beta. That day Jeb said on Twitter he could find the buyer of the millionth copy with a database query and asked whether he could draw that person a special cape.

The buyer turned out to be the player akronman1, who confirmed on Reddit the next day that he had made the purchase. According to the Minecraft Wiki, Jeb credited the finished art to Kinten.

Kinten is Pontus Hammarberg, one of the three people behind Oxeye Game Studio along with Jeb. That studio later shows up again in the cape list as the Oxeye cape.

Design

A purple cape with what looks like a yellow star in the upper half. The Minecraft Wiki credits the drawing to Kinten.

Millionth Customer cape FAQ

How do you get the Millionth Customer cape?

Nobody can get it. Mojang made the Millionth Customer cape for one person, the player who bought the one-millionth copy of Minecraft on January 12, 2011. It was never sold, never handed out at an event and never offered as a reward, so the only way to see it on a player is on that original buyer's account.

Can you still get the Millionth Customer cape?

No. The cape marked a single milestone sale in January 2011 and went to one buyer, akronman1. Mojang has never reissued it or released anything like it for other players, and nothing in the game or the launcher unlocks it.

Who designed the Millionth Customer cape?

Jeb (Jens Bergensten) proposed it on Twitter the day the sale happened, and later said the artwork came from Kinten. Kinten is the handle of Pontus Hammarberg, who worked with Jeb at the indie studio Oxeye Game Studio.
