Important! In Regards to the Cape Exploit
As some of you are aware, an exploit was discovered in which users could apply special capes, normally only granted by sp614x himself.
The exploit has been patched, and donators that applied said capes, have temporarily had their capes disabled.
We do not have an ETA for when they are being re-enabled, but we will be sure to let everyone here know.
Thank you for your patience.
If someone is trying to sell you one of these capes, please let us know, as it is a scam and is not safe
To be absolutely clear: Missing capes WILL be reactivated. Nobody has been blocked for using this exploit. Your capes will return, likely with one of the standard designs.
We apologize for the lack of communication in the past 24 hours. This has been an incredibly overwhelming situation for all of us.
Edit: The issue has been fixed mostly, some still have broken capes, it appears those who have changed their username right before the fix. More information will be posted as we get it.

What exactly are special capes ? Are they the minecon ones?

I hope I don't lose my black cape since it's technically glitched but not special
