Reuben was a main character in Minecraft: Story Mode through the first four episodes. He was Jesse's pet pig and best friend. They both lived in a treehouse, with Axel and Olivia. He was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker. He first appeared in The Order of the Stone.

Reuben is intended to be an adolescent pig, much like Lluna.^[1] As a result, he possesses traits similar to both adult and baby pigs. His head is large, with long ears, a pink snout, and eyebrows, but his body is closer in proportion to an adult, if shrunk.

Reuben had a friendly outlook, and loved Jesse unconditionally. However, he could be seen getting upset with Jesse, especially if they ignored him or forgot about him momentarily (determinant). He does not like being called a pet or mascot, as seen in The Order of the Stone.

Reuben died from injuries obtained by falling from a great height. After retrieving Jesse's enchanted weapon, he fell into a pit inside the wither storm, later landing on the stone below and missing the body of water nearby.

In remembrance of Reuben’s sacrifice, a memorial was erected in his honor. A banner depicting him was placed inside the Order Hall.

Jesse reflects on him from time to time, experiencing a sense of sadness.

He remained a significant figure in Founding Day celebrations. In Hero in Residence, three pigs were candidates in playing the part of Reuben on the float for the celebrations. Jesse can choose which pig plays the role.

Reuben is Jesse's best friend and pet, the two showing a consistent bond throughout the game, with Jesse going out of their way to save Reuben many times. In A Block and a Hard Place, Reuben sacrifices himself to help Jesse, which deeply moved them.

At first, Olivia doubted Reuben’s abilities just because he was a pig. However, after he helped save the world, she mourned his death alongside the rest of the group and changed her view of him.

Axel loves sharing jokes with his friends, including Reuben. Even though they don’t spend an excessive amount of time together, they get along well. In The Order of the Stone, Axel even got Reuben an ender dragon costume for EnderCon. Unlike Olivia, Axel has more faith in Reuben’s abilities despite him being a pig.

• The name "Reuben" is a reference to real food; pork loin reuben, similar to how Benedict's name is a reference to eggs benedict and Waffles' name is a reference to chicken and waffles.
• In The Order of the Stone, if Jesse chooses to do nothing while talking to Otis, Reuben will beat him up. He would also appear angry in Ivor's hideout at EnderCon.
• In Assembly Required, if Jesse decides to go to Boom Town, they can choose pink wool as a building material (insisted by Reuben) in the Death Bowl. This will result in them building a statue of Reuben.
  • If Jesse doesn't pick a name, Axel will step in, calling Jesse the Pig Master. It appears to be a reference to Reuben himself.
• In The Last Place You Look, if Jesse chooses to rescue the Order’s Amulet instead of helping Reuben and Axel, the option to high five Reuben will be unavailable, and Reuben will glare at Jesse before walking away. He is later seen with Lukas.
  • In the same episode, if Jesse talks to Reuben enough times while in Soren's research lab in the End, Reuben will tell them a joke. This will result in the "That's Some Pig" achievement to be unlocked.
• When Jesse was constructing the formidi-bomb, Jesse's Gang, Soren, Magnus, and Ellegaard could be seen in the background building a statue of Reuben with sunglasses to distract the wither storm.
• Depending on the player's choice, Reuben's expression will be different at the end of The Last Place You Look. The three expressions will be worried, indifferent or angry.
• In A Block and a Hard Place, it was revealed that Reuben was initially found by Jesse near a waterfall.
  • In the same episode, if Jesse chooses to craft an ultimate hoe, Reuben will laugh at them.
• In the files of A Block and a Hard Place, assets for Reuben's armored design exist.
• During the siege into the wither storm, if Jesse doesn't choose anything when picking a strategy, Olivia or Petra will suggest they build a Reuben minecart launcher. Listening carefully, pig noises can be heard every time Jesse lays down a pink wool block.
• When Reuben dies, there will be a gray box on the top left corner saying "Reuben will be remembered". It can also be seen in Jesse's speech. When Jesse asks what really mattered, they have the option to say "Reuben" (if you didn't say you had Reuben) and it will say "Reuben will be remembered" again.
• Reuben can be mentioned in every episode except Jailhouse Block and Below the Bedrock.
  • In Order Up!, Jesse, Petra, and Lukas visit the Order Hall and see Reuben's porkchop, remembering him. Jesse later sees pigs in the Sky City dimension and has the option to say that they miss Reuben.
  • In A Portal to Mystery Jesse has the option to insult the White Pumpkin saying, "Cats suck! Pigs are way cooler!", which refers to Reuben.
  • In Access Denied, after chipping Petra and Lukas, PAMA mentions Reuben by saying "An adorable pig friend". Later, either Lukas or Petra will mention Reuben while under PAMA's control, reminding Jesse of Reuben's death to bruise their morale.
  • In A Journey's End?, Hadrian implies that he's managed to "find Reuben," only for it to turn out he captured Reuben the Endercon usher and assumed he was Jesse's Reuben.
  • In Hero in Residence, Reuben is mentioned in Lukas' story. Jesse can visit Reuben's Memorial in Beacontown, and Reuben is also mentioned by Stella.
  • In Giant Consequences, the Prismarine Colossus form of Romeo destroys Reuben's memorial during the fight. Jesse can later rebuild the memorial.
  • In Above and Beyond, Jesse can visit rebuilt Reuben's memorial one more time.
• Reuben was planned to have survived from the wither storm in the Netflix version, and to have him accompany Jesse’s gang through the portal hallway, but it was ultimately cancelled due to the closure of Telltale Games.^[2]
