Steve is one of the nine default skins that players can use in Minecraft, and the first to be introduced. The character originated from Zombie Town, an unreleased game developed by Notch in 2009 prior to Minecraft beginning development, and has frequently appeared in subsequent Minecraft media. Steve is commonly seen with Alex, the second introduced character.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • Steve was first named via a depiction in Super Meat Boy by Notch as a joke[5][6][7] but later confirmed in the "change skin" menu on minecraft.net, in-game as the default name in Bedrock Edition, and their name in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Prior to this, the player was nameless.
    • Even before this, mob entity models briefly present in Indev were already commonly referred to as "Steve" by the community.[8][9]
    • Notch later clarified in a 2012 blog post titled Gender in Minecraft, that the human model in Minecraft was designed as gender-neutral, representing a generic "Human Being" rather than a male or female.[10] He regretted earlier use of masculine terms like "he" for the default character (at the time was colloquially called "Steve"), advocating instead for the gender-neutral "they".
  • Prior to returning to the game in Java Edition 1.19.3, Steve's beard remained depicted in promotional material and merchandise throughout its thirteen year absence.
  • The original Steve skin and player model was originally created for another one of Notch's games called Zombie Town.
  • Steve's face was inspired by the unnamed player character model from Quake.[11]
  • The July–August 2016 issue of the LEGO Club Magazine mentioned that Steve is Alex's boyfriend. In the issue after, they corrected themselves stating that Steve and Alex are "just good friends". It is also mentioned that Steve is a miner, builder, and alchemist, while Alex is a builder, explorer, and hunter.
  • In Minecraft: Pocket Edition Lite, the name of the player was "Stevie" instead of "Steve".
  • In large part due to them being the only skins for an extended time, Steve is commonly paired with Alex.
  • Prior to the Texture Update, Steve's head appeared on the icons for nausea and glowing.
