Steve is the default skin of the Player in {{uv|Minecraft}}.

In August 2022, Steve and Alex received an update on their model, now fitting with Jasper Boerstra's modern design of ''Minecraft''. The changes include folded sleeves for both characters, smoother skin, hair, and clothes textures, and the return of Steve's unused beard from its long-outdated texture in 2009. During Minecraft Live 2022, seven more default characters were added to the game alongside Steve and Alex (namely Zuri, Sunny, Noor, Makena, Kai, Efe, and Ari), granting a total of nine default skins to choose from.

In ''Java Edition'', it is possible to customize the avatar's appearance with a template (allowing for entirely player-made appearances), while other versions of the game offer skin packs and mash-up packs (mostly based on public domain characters, other gaming properties such as {{uvm3|Fallout}}, {{uv|Banjo-Kazooie}}, and {{uv|Mario}}, and non-gaming media such as ''{{iw|wikipedia|The Simpsons}}'', ''{{iw|wikipedia|Adventure Time}}'', and ''{{iw|wikipedia|Stranger Things}}''). Within the limited lore of the game, Steve and Alex are indicated to simply be vessels of the actual player's manifestation in the ''Minecraft'' world, having no other discernable personality or role. Most of Steve and Alex's abilities come from tools. Unarmed, they are capable of walking, running, jumping, crawling, punching, and crafting small items (on a two-by-two grid). These abilities are augmented by the tools they create (usually on a Crafting Table, which utilizes a three-by-three grid). As a sandbox game, ''Minecraft'' has a variety of options available to the player depending on their playstyle: mining, building, farming, hunting, and adventuring are only a few.
