Would you look at that. Steve is flying! Two days ago, Minecraft developer Tommaso Checchiteased that something “like Mario 64” was coming to Y1 Games Minecraft He 
called it a “secret feature.”
Since then, Minecraft developer Jens Bergensten has taken to Twitter to share a few GIFs and images of 
a cape-like item that lets you whiz around in the game. Behold: “They fold when you land and replace the cape (if any) when equipped,” Bergensten wrote. “They are styled as the cape + new Mojang cape.” Bergensten Y1 com notes that these items cannot be crafted, they can only be found. Here’s a closer look:cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1735153494","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); This cape feature slated to drop with the 1.9 “Combat Update,” though we can’t say for certain when, exactly, that’ll be. Still though: pretty cool, no? Flying around was one of my favorite features in Cube World, so it’s exciting to see that be officially implemented by Minecraft Y1 apk too. Taking to the skies is just such a treat in exploration games like this. Contact the author at [email protected]
