Summary
Minecrafthas shared some important lore about Steve, revealing that he is considered a monster. Players encounter a variety of creatures in the world ofMinecraft, including animals, monsters, and villagers. When it comes to human presence in Mojang’s sandbox, the player is the only case.
It all started in version rd-132328 when Mojang introduced a mob that ran around the world and was known as “human.” With subsequent updates, Steve was promoted to the official player model, being the most remembered ofMinecraft’s default skins, getting recurring appearances in official artwork. But while Steve’s origin is known in terms of gameplay, players don’t know much about the lore surrounding the character, with various theories about his existence in theMinecraftuniverse.
Now,Minecrafthas surprised its players by revealing that, canonically, Steve is considered a monster. DuringMinecraft Live 2024, Mojang’s annual celebration of the popular franchise, a cinematic was shown in which villagers explore the forest at night and tell each other to watch out for dangers such as “zombies, skeletons, and Steve.” Making the moment even funnier, one of the villagers holds up a photo of the character, while they debate the appearance of a new creature that was recently spotted in the forest.
Minecraft Reveals New Biome and Mob During Annual Event
In the comments section of Reddit user JPmagic_’s post, other Redditors reacted humorously to the revelation that the villagers see Steve in the same way as skeletons and other hostile mobs. One of the comments noted that it makes sense for them to think this way, since Steve’s appearance is completely different from theirs, and he is capable of things like alchemy and “opening a portal to hell.” Other comments joked about the things players do to the villagers whileplayingMinecraft, saying that they understand why they think Steve is a threat.
As well as sharing this unusual lore about Steve, the cinematic shown during the event served to introduceMinecraft’s new biome and mob. After leaking the information a few days before Minecraft Live 2024, Mojang revealed the pale garden, which lives up to its name and is a biome with pale colors that becomes incredibly scary at night. Part of this scare is due to the creaking, the new hostile mob that inhabits the place and looks like a tree, making it easier to miss its presence. Despite the exciting announcement, there is no date for the debut of the pale garden and the creaking, with Mojang promising to share more details soon.
