Reason: This mob is actually the same mob as the Human, just that the model was changed during Indev before becoming the Human again. (The Human page itself is pending a split, though, so it'd be better to wait and then merge this into either Mob or Monster, depending on which entity it corresponds to.)
Black Steve was a humanoid mob available during Java Edition Indev, they were available from Java Edition Indev 0.31 20100129 until 0.31 20100131 (for 2 days).
Spawning[]
Black Steve spawned randomly in the world in at any light level as long as there was enough space.
Behavior[]
Black Steve was a passive mob. It had no animation, so it glided aimlessly around the world in the same pose and occasionally jumped, although no jumping animation existed either. As a result, it would simply be raised off of the ground and then fall back down. Upon death, Black Steve would not fall over to the ground or flash red or white and appear to die, as most mobs do. It would just disappear shortly thereafter, and drop the items it was designated to drop.
Drops[]
Upon death, Black Steve drops:
- String (0–2) (most common)
- Feather (0–2)
- Gunpowder (0–2)
- Flint and Steel (0–1) (extremely rare)
