Steve (mob)

Don't be confused with Steve (Super Meat Boy)

"Steve" was the name of one variant of the now disused human mobs. They were originally in-game as a test during the Indev phase. At that point, it had been stated that the player avatar would look like Steve in future, albeit with a miner hat and a different skin.

Steve was made by "Dock", Minecraft's past artist, as were the similar looking Rana, Black Steve and Beast Boy. All four of them were scrapped when Dock left the development team. The player model will remain the same as the Human NPC.

Trivia
The current Minecraft player model appears in Super Meat Boy as a playable character called Steve. Notch isn't sure that this is his official name, as he always puts a question mark symbol after it.
