Once you've successfully signed in with your Microsoft account, the Cloak will be ready to be worn in both Bedrock and Java. The way to attach the cloak is slightly different in both versions, but overall you don't need to do anything complicated.

Before starting the game, go to the Skins tab, select the character you want to 'customize'. Find the Cape section, select the Cape, then press the Save and Use button and you're done.
