After redeeming the new capes, sometimes they do not appear available to equip in the launcher for Java Edition until launching Bedrock Edition and equipping the cape there first. We have had numerous people come to Minecraft Community Support with this issue, and so far the remedy has been completely successful to my knowledge. This issue has also been reported semi-widely across Reddit, and the Bedrock Edition fix seems to work there also.
Steps to Reproduce:
Get a Cape redeem code via an available method (i.e. TikTok)
Redeem at minecraft.net/redeem (Image)
Attempt to equip cape from launcher; it does not appear as an option (Image)
Open Bedrock Edition and equip the cape
Restart the launcher
Verify that the cape is now visible in the Java Skin Selection page (Image)
