This extremely rare cosmetic can only be earned when you travel to a unique version of the Overworld for the event before the movie releases in theaters. You only have a few days to collect the Yearn cape, so you'll need to meet objectives quickly.

As you can see, the Yearn cape is awarded to you for completing the last quest challenge, which asks you to finish all the other missions first. These quests test your combat prowess and resource management, as you'll be either killing enemies or mining for materials. Thankfully, I've found that The Mines area of the event server should have every resource you need, including the best level for Diamonds in Minecraft to finish the last quest's second goal.

There are two other capes available in the Minecraft Movie Live Event, named the "Home" and "Menace" capes. These items can be earned when you watch a Minecraft creator for at least 3 minutes on either TikTok or Twitch and gain a redemption code for either cosmetic.

From my experience, the challenges in the limited-time event shouldn't take too long to complete, especially if you pursue them with friends. Once you finally earn the Yearn cape in the Minecraft Movie Live Event, you will have earned the rarest reward possible to use in any other world you start in this iconic sandbox game.
