New Minecraft Skins With Default Minecraft Skins Recall Steve's Beard

Mojang has changed the default Minecraft skins, Steve and Alex - and Minecraft Steve's beard has come back after years sporting a clean-shaven style. The iconic blue-shirted face of the crafting game Minecraft Steve's original avatar featured an unnatural brown goatee that some players mistakenly thought was a beaming smile - but it was removed in an attempt to create a gender-neutral appearance for the sandbox game's default character.



Minecraft Alex was introduced in 2014 as the default skin. Alex has a green top , with longer red hair and a ponytail. This makes it a feminine version of Steve's. Microsoft studio head of Minecraft Helen Chiang said in a 2018 interview that Microsoft wanted to create the Minecraft brand to challenge traditional gender stereotypes by presenting Alex and Steve as having the same physical qualities and abilities.



With two options available, it was decided to bring back Steve's famous goatee. A post to the Minecraft subreddit outlined the new skins, which also improve the shading of Alex to give the second character an authentic three-dimensional appearance. The response so far is mostly one of joy and excitement, with many fans especially excited to see Steve's old bearded look returning.



Many commenters say that they're glad that Steve has returned to the style used in the majority of official artwork, including the character's appearance in Nintendo brawler Super Smash Bros Ultimate. "I can understand why they first removed it," says the most liked comment on the Reddit thread at the time of writing, "but it was clearly an integral part of Steve's style, and it seems that Mojang also agrees. It's wonderful to see it come back after all these years.

Jasper Boerstra, Minecraft's lead artist, commented on the new look via Twitter. He said, "I'm glad you like the return to the beard!" Boerstra also noted that traditional banding techniques and "pillow shading" are utilized in the new skins but he asked for feedback on whether this decision was a good one. The skins also have classic designs, if you prefer the older looks.
