Editing Steve (Minecraft) (section)

==Trivia==

*'''Default Character Origins''': From the Alpha stage until version 1.7.10, Steve was the only default skin available to new players. His appearance could be altered using launchers. Before Alex was introduced, Steve was the only model and avatar option.
*'''Absence in ''Story Mode''''': Steve and Alex were notably absent from ''Minecraft: Story Mode''. Telltale Games decided to create a new original character to represent the player. However, Steve and Alex appear in ''Minecraft Dungeons'' as playable characters, making it the first ''Minecraft'' spin-off to feature them.
*'''Alex Cameo''': In ''Minecraft: Story Mode'' Season Two, Alex's head is featured as a target at an archery range.
*'''Player Appearance Consistency''': Whether in single-player or multiplayer modes, all players share the same model, with only skins and names varying. This applies to both ''Minecraft'' and ''Minecraft Dungeons''.
*'''Different Models in ''Legends''''': In ''Minecraft Legends'', the player characters feature different models than in other ''Minecraft'' games, likely to match the game's unique art style. Some skins even alter the characters' models due to changes in hair or clothing.
*'''Height Differences in ''Dungeons''''': In ''Minecraft Dungeons'', players are depicted slightly shorter than some hostile mobs, like zombies and witches. This contrasts with vanilla ''Minecraft'', where players and these mobs share the same height.
*'''Steve in Smash''': Steve is the first indie game character and protagonist to be a playable fighter in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. While other indie game characters like Sans and Cuphead appear as Mii Fighters, and Shovel Knight and Shantae appear as assist trophies or spirits, Steve is the first fully-fledged indie character in the game.
*'''Mysterious Lore''': The background of the player character in ''Minecraft'' is left deliberately vague, creating an air of mystery. Fans have speculated that the player could have a tragic past, being the last human in a lonely world. ''Game Theory'' has explored this idea, theorizing connections between the player and hostile mobs like the Wither and Ender Dragon.
*'''Notch's Vision''': Notch, the game's creator, and Mojang developers never intended to add specific lore or human NPCs to maintain the game's mysterious atmosphere. Steve and Alex are meant to be simple, genderless human beings.
*'''Player's Size''': A player in ''Minecraft'' is 32 pixels tall, equating to about 2 meters (6.56 feet). Their cubic volume is estimated at 322,273 cubic centimeters, meaning they would weigh approximately 342kg (754lb) in real life.
*'''Heroic Acts''': Before version 1.11, the player's only heroic tasks in ''Minecraft'' were defeating the Ender Dragon or Wither and protecting passive or tamed mobs. With updates, more advancements like saving villages and defending iron golems from illagers have given players more opportunities for heroic deeds.
*'''Appearances in ''Dungeons'' and ''Legends''''': In ''Minecraft Dungeons'', the player characters are adventurers on a quest to stop evil forces from world domination. In ''Minecraft Legends'', the players are humble adventurers chosen by the Hosts to fight evil and restore peace across the land.
*'''Pop Culture Icon''': Steve is widely recognized by fans and gamers and has made appearances in movies, TV shows, and other video games as easter eggs or cameos.
*'''Steve’s Early Name''': Before being named Steve, the default character was known as "The Minecraft Guy" or "Mr. Minecraft." Despite this, Notch has said that Steve was not his original name. The player is often referred to simply as "The Player," with a personality that reflects the user.
*'''Popular in YouTube Animations''': Steve became a popular subject of fan-made animations on YouTube, further expanding his recognition in the gaming community.
*'''Movie''': In the 2025 film ''A Minecraft Movie'', Steve is portrayed by actor Jack Black.
*'''Lego Club Magazine:''' According to ''Lego Club Magazine''''',''' there were initial suggestions that Steve and Alex had a romantic relationship, highlighting their differing interests—Steve's focus on mining and alchemy versus Alex's love for exploration and hunting. However, in a subsequent issue, this was corrected, stating that Steve and Alex are actually best friends. Overall, the characters in ''Minecraft'' are typically considered asexual, with the exception of villagers and certain animals, which can be seen having offspring in the game. This portrayal emphasizes the focus on creativity and building within the ''Minecraft'' universe rather than romantic relationships.
