A new skin pack commemorating Minecon 2015 has been released on Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Sony consoles. The pack is available for free from today, for 15 days, and will be removed at the end of the time period. The pack has released to celebrate Minecon 2015 taking place at the ExCel London next week, a Minecraft based convention hosted by Mojang.
Included inside the pack are 8 new skins, showcasing 4 different capes from Minecon over the last few years. These capes are on the two main Minecraft characters, Steve and Alex.
The following skins are included:
• Minecon 2011 Cape – Creeper
• Minecon 2012 Cape – Pickaxe
• Minecon 2013 Cape – Piston
• Minecon 2015 Cape – Iron Golem
There is no cape for 2014, as no Minecon event was scheduled. This was detailed further in a blog post from Mojang COO Vu Bui.
Check out the official statement given by Owen Hill from Mojang:
“Even more DLC news for y’all! To celebrate the awesomeness that is this week’s Minecon 2015, we’re releasing a free bundle of skins for consoles. This pack is extra-special because it features Alex and Steve wearing a selection of smart Minecon capes.
The Minecon 2015 Skin Pack will be available for just 15 days from the 1st of July onward. Download it from the Xbox Games Store while it’s still hot. You’ve got nothing to lose but your bandwidth!“
