Steve is one of the main protagonists of A Minecraft Movie, modeled after the default player skin with the same name. Steve was originally born on Earth, and eventually entered the Overworld, spending multiple years there amongst the villagers. He is played by Jack Black.

Appearance

Steve is a tall, rotund middle-aged man wearing a blue shirt that is carried over from his video game counterpart, albeit fully covering his neck whereas it is visible on his voxel model in the game.

Steve has a much larger beard compared to his counterpart's shorter goatee beard. In scenes of Steve first entering the mine and discovering the Overworld, his beard is completely brown. He has fair skin and shoulder length wavy brown hair. In later scenes, however, the beard has grayed with only his mustache and some parts remaining brown. He wears blue jeans and chocolate-brown loafers.

Personality

Having lived in the Overworld for many years, Steve is very experienced with its properties and lore. He functions as an almost mentor figure to those around him, reciting lessons and techniques learned across his adventures, such as how to use a crafting table. However, he is also a rather jolly figure, cracking jokes and excitedly shouting to enhance his statements.

His passion can turn into determination, and in turn bring him into danger. When young, he was obsessed with becoming a miner and exploring the underground, leading him to acquire dangerous equipment and trying to sneak into an off limits area.

Powers and abilities

Due to a lifelong interest, Steve is incredibly gifted at mining and wielding a pickaxe. Upon entering the Overworld, this took on a greater nuance, making him incredibly adept at placing blocks. Very quickly, he proved to be skilled, creative, and ambitious, building structures larger than those typical of the realm. In at least one scenario, he managed to erect several large figureheads of villagers within an incredibly fast speed with no signs of fatigue, and claimed to have "moved mountains with [his] mind."^[1]

As he grew and mastered his skills, Steve has become an expert on survival, displaying many feats. While battling a zombie, he proved very resourceful, weaponizing one of its own arms against it. As daybreak set in, he appeared immune to the flames of the burning zombie, emerging triumphant. He has also shown near superhuman reflexes, managing to pour a water bucket while falling out of the sky, seemingly materializing the bucket out of nowhere.

Instructions: Finish plot outline; add events in the Redstone Mines.

As a child, Steve grew up on Earth, dreaming of exploring a mine outside of Chuglass, feeling a great intuition to explore the underground. However, he was prevented from entering by an old miner that guarded the entrance. As an adult thirty^[2] years later, Steve was forced to grow up, taking up a dead end job as a doorknob salesman. The career proved very demoralizing, as his co-workers laughed at all his attempts to be creative, including his dioramas, presentation songs, and homemade costumes.^[2] One day, while eating his lunch, he was reminded of the mines and sculpted a miniature version of it out of his food. Steve quit the job and returned to the mines to fulfill his childhood dream of entering it. Finally entering the mine, he began trying to harvest materials, accidentally discovering the Earth Cube, which leads him to the Overworld.

In the Overworld, Steve met and tamed a wolf that he names Dennis. He eventually became an expert on the unique functions of the Overworld, and lived in a village alongside its villagers, making several useful redstone contraptions such as Steve's Lava Chicken!, a theme park, as well as an advanced underground mineshaft. At one point, he defeated a great evil known as the ender dragon, which he later described as "a hell of a foe."^[1] At another point, Steve found an obsidian gateway and discovered the Nether, giving way to Malgosha aiming to destroy the Overworld as she claims the Orb of Dominance. Steve spends a seemingly long time in the Nether, held captive by the piglins. Eventually, Malgosha allows Steve to return to the Overworld, but orders him to return to Orb of Dominance to her, lest she kill Dennis.

Back in the Overworld, Steve meets a group when they enter the Overworld, helping them understand their surroundings. Disappointed in the destruction of the Earth Crystal, he decides to bring them home to Midport Village. There he introduces them to many things, such as villagers, an iron golem, and his lava chicken contraption. Taking Henry and Garrett into his stash, he teaches them how to use a crafting table, and is fascinated by Henry's invention of the potato launcher. After speaking with Garrett about his potential, Garrett strikes up a deal with him to help pay off his debt in exchange for the Orb of Dominance.

Things take a turn when General Chungus arrives to reclaim Steve's own debt, raiding the village and slaughtering several innocent villagers. Steve attempts to defeat the piglins, but Garrett accidentally knocks him unconscious by swinging his buck-chuckets. After awakening, he and the male heroes evacuate to a drop, using elytra to escape.

During the final battle against the piglins, Steve dons his full set of diamond armor and faces Malgosha. When the Nether portal is destroyed and the effect it had on the Overworld is undone, Steve gains the upper hand on Malgosha as she begins zombifying. He is able to effortlessly dodge all of her final attacks, due to her weakness, and leaves her to die.

In the aftermath, Steve initially plans to stay in the Overworld while the other humans return to Earth, sharing a farewell with Garrett, but allows Dennis to go with Dawn as a thank-you for changing his life. As the humans leave, Natalie encourages Steve to bring his ideas to the real world, convincing him to return to Earth. Since then, Steve has helped develop the video game Block City Battle Buddies and holds singing performances at Game Over World with Garrett. In addition, he returns to his old house to reclaim his past belongings and meets the current homeowner Alex.

Relationships

Earth

Growing up, Steve claimed to have felt very restricted by those around him. He was denied his dream of entering the mines until he became an adult, and his creativity was stifled by unspecified people. As a result, he felt little grief about being trapped in the Overworld, and in fact seemed thrilled to be on his own.^[1] However, he felt little resentment towards the people of the world, hoping to inspire them like his adventures did to him. As a result, he eventually relented and decided to return, helping create a hit video game along the way.

Garrett Garrison

Steve and Garrett possess an immediate bond, doing a handshake upon meeting and making a deal. Over the course of the film, they embark on many adventures together, such as flying together with elytra and working together in a fighting ring. Steve is also shown calling Garret "Gar-Gar" as a nickname. Although they are shown to get along, Steve is also more wise and knowledgeable than his friend, not afraid to make fun of his fumbles. Upon preparing to leave, Garrett expressed great sadness, and specifically referred to Steve as his brother, showing a deep bond between the two. When Steve decides to return to Chuglass with the misfits at the end of the film, he commonly spends time with Garrett and performs a song with him at Game Over World.

General Chungus

Somehow, Steve managed to become "dungeon buddies" with Chungus, and knew him well enough to refer to him on a first name basis. Since escaping from the Nether, Steve appears to recognize how dangerous he is and dreads encountering him in combat. Chungus however does not appear to hold any ill will towards him, reminiscing fondly about his chicken jingle and referring to him as an old buddy. When told to "end [Steve's] life" he shows hesitancy, but doesn't fight the order and proceeds to try killing him, albeit semi-casually.

Malgosha

As soon as the two come into contact, Steve and Malgosha possess a contentious relationship. Shocked by his roundness, Malgosha's first reaction to seeing Steve was confusion, quickly replaced by greed as she learns of him possessing the Orb of Dominance. As Steve ends up getting captured by her forces, he quickly proves quite antithetical to her beliefs, having apparently befriended fellow prisoners who willingly posed for him to sculpt. After killing them, Malgosha attempts to barter with Steve, tricking him into thinking she has Dennis captured if not killed so he can try and claim the Earth Cube for him.

In spite of Steve agreeing to her offer, he immediately quells any chance of actually helping her, at most hiding certain details from the misfits as he meets them. As the piglins arrive to rendezvous with Steve, the deal is effectively off, the meeting turning into a full-scale invasion. By the time the conflict ends, Steve contemplates showing mercy for Malgosha as she slowly suffocates to death, only to be met with repeated attempts to stab him with a knife. The last time Steve sees Malgosha, he knows not to trust or even humor her, as her mind fades from zombification.

In an early version of the film, the role of Steve was given to a character called "Wiki".^[3] This was presumably a reference to the Minecraft Wiki or Wikipedia. In another version of the film, Steve's role was given to a piglin who betrays Malgosha.^[3] Remnants of this idea can be seen in the final film, where Steve immediately knows the Nether is against creativity upon entering and was at some point "dungeon buddies" with Chungus.

Trivia

• Prior to portraying Steve, Jack Black voiced the audio book of Minecraft: The Island, which featured Guy, a character who parallels the video game's Steve.
• In a Mini Mode set promoting the film, Steve is depicted identically to his game counterpart.^[4]
