Minecraft players have a limited-time opportunity to unlock one of the game’s rarest cosmetic items: the Zombie Horse Cape. This free cape is only available for a short window, and once the event ends, there’s no guarantee it will ever return. If you’ve been thinking about grabbing it, now is the time to act.
The Zombie Horse Cape is tied to Mojang’s official Minecraft event activities and requires just a few simple steps. No purchases are needed, only a valid Minecraft account and a bit of time.
Below is a step-by-step guide explaining exactly how to get the Zombie Horse Cape before it’s gone.

Step 1 – Launch Minecraft and join Mounts of Mayhem

Step 2 – Craft or obtain a Spear
The spear is the newest weapon in Minecraft, added with the Mounts of Mayhem update. It’s crucial for this challenge, you’ll need to use it to defeat enemies. Spears can be found or crafted depending on your world’s resources.
Step 3 – Defeat five Mobs with the Spear
Now the main task: defeat five hostile mobs in Survival mode using the spear. These can be zombies, skeletons, creepers, or any other hostile creature. As soon as you’ve defeated five with the spear equipped, you’ll complete the challenge.
Step 4 – Claim the Zombie Horse Cape reward
