History of the Test cape

Mojang has never announced this cape. What is known comes from minecraft.wiki, which lists it among the API testing capes, textures that show up on Mojang's servers while the Java cape system is being tested. The wiki calls them unofficial and says they cannot be obtained.

The wiki reports that the texture reached Mojang's staging texture server on October 10, 2023 and the production server a week later, and that it first appeared on a Mojang software engineer's account. A bug later put it on one player's account. Its internal name is size-m, which the player who found it suggested looks like a key from a data file rather than a real cape name.

Design

Its colours resemble the sniffer's, according to minecraft.wiki.

Test cape FAQ

How do you get the Test cape?

You can't. minecraft.wiki groups it with the API testing capes that appeared on Mojang's servers while the Java cape system was being tested, and describes them as unofficial capes that cannot be obtained. The few accounts with it got it from Mojang's side, one of them reportedly by a bug.

Is the Test cape a Mojang staff cape?

Reportedly, yes. minecraft.wiki says it first turned up on the account of a Mojang software engineer and on another account in Mojang's staging database, before a bug gave it to one player. Mojang has never announced it.
