Other

Standard Tactics: As Steve or Alex are controlled entirely by the players, they are a wild card in their actions, though through the usage of trailers, their fighting styles normally have them use swords and bows in combat.

Weaknesses: If Steve or Alex are hungry, they are vulnerable in combat and cannot self-heal. Armor has a "toughness" factor that determines what amount of damage can be reduced per hit. If lowered, the incoming attack will hit with more power, thus causing more overall damage to Steve/Alex.

Note

• Do not attempt to upgrade Steve to Tier 2 or higher based on the end poem. The end poem has been directly confirmed to be metaphorical and not an actual addition to the Minecraft lore, with beings such as The Entities never being referenced again and the very author of the poem himself saying this is merely a metaphorical journey. Even if we were to assume this is legitimate, this would mean that Minecraft is completely featless, as it's just a regular dream.
• Do not attempt to upgrade Steve and Alex under the impression that they can carry an infinite amount of blocks with no effort. This is due to the Dimensional Storage ability most fictional characters with an inventory have, and we visibly see Minecraft characters shrink blocks down to store them away.
