I wish Mojang still added stuff based on the random whims of the community like they used to. So many iconic things in the game began this way.
yeah, agreed
There april fool's updates feel like old minecraft updates. The poisonous potato update feels like something that could have been created a decade ago but in the modern game
I mean there’s the mob vote but those are more like warfare these days

steve was a zombie, and now fights the zombies. crazy
did the steve cured himself just to fight the zombies?

he was also black

Hello. I'm the guy who added the entries to the wiki, being a very active and eager 16 year old wiki moderator at the time, as well as the guy who managed to get Cake into Minecraft via the Quest for Cake campaign about 15 years ago.
The whole situation is strange, and so is how the names came about. I know we would have tried to verify the names. Though back then, these names were so ubiquitous, we simply just, knew what they were. For us at the time, it was simply common knowledge of their names.
I still don't know how or why, but the whole name situation is kinda fascinating. The community effectively brainwashed itself into believing the name was so, to the point that a year after they had been added and removed, in our archival attempts, I would make the pages for them and simply add their accepted "official" names.
It's quite a fascinating Mandela effect we all slipped into. A big lesson for other wiki editors too. Be sure of your sources. We seemingly did not dig deep enough at the time, and no doubt the wiki page only circulated the community misunderstanding further, to the point that it's now too late, these *ARE* their names now.
I highly doubt that.
@@hypersonicxxhighly doubt... what??
@@nimiugn highly doubt that this is the person perhaps?

I (a Chinese guy) chose my English name as Steve because I liked Minecraft so much, I'm glad to see the origin of his (and my) name explained :)
that's cool
Wait, you get to pick your English name? That's soooo COOL! 🗿🏆
To think that Steve went from being a base model / zombie - like hybrid to an actual character with who's so iconic he's in one of the biggest crossover games ever and has crossed over with many different universes including Sonic, Tetris, Mario, Angry Birds, Star wars & more just shows you how far he's come.
Let's not forget that Steve is in Super Smash Bros as well.
@@Quackra I kinda just assumed that's what he meant when he said that Steve is "in one of the biggest crossover games ever"

*Uno reverse card*
And Adventure Time.
In the Bedrock character creator, Steve's beard is in the facial hair section and the mouths section, labelled as "Steve's beard?" and "Steve's mouth?" respectively.
Mojang was never really sure and wasn't willing to ask Notch.
@@Solesteam It was always very obviously a goatee, the alternative falls flat because thats a child's idea of a "mouth"
no one with any artistic sense would draw a pixel art mouth that way, especially using the same colours as the hair
I cant believe this is even a question
@@mephisto8884 Human pattern recognition can easily consider it a mouth, way before a beard since it doesn't exactly go under the chin... at all. if there was a line of beard on the bottom of his head it would be easier to tell, it's not like it's impossible to make a mouth like that, and it's not exactly a convincing goatee either.
Not to mention Steve's mouth is pretty smeared and hard to see since it's isolated from the rest of his face by his beard...
Also Notch has proven he's not the worlds greatest sprite artist with his earlier textures... I mean, the old Crying obsidian texture says enough and that many textures are other flavors of cobbles like glowstone and endstone. It's really not that far fetched of an idea for Notch to have made a mouth like that.
1:29 so Steve was a Zombie before that makes sense for zombies look like Steve
That kind of goes with my headcanon that all the Zombies in Minecraft are fallen players, and that Minecraft takes place after a zombie apocalypse.
@@Masterge77 everytime Steve dies 1 zombie is spawned
ye
@@Masterge77 all the zombies are the old "player" mob that were risen from the dead since the alpha version.
And cave noises too
So steve was just a community name all this time? Wow, thats really sick tho.

Steve's backstory
V V V
(Ok quick edit... The true backstory of Steve jostar: Early 1988, Steve was born on a stormy day in a sad old shack in the middle of the wood's his father Danny DeVito and mother Joline Jostar where poor people so Steve had a harsh child hood. Soon in his early teen years he was training in the art of shelf stacking. This training would last for 10 year's and during that time he unlocked his stand "Stressed out". During his twenties he realized how much stronger he has gotten and decided to start a fight he would never forget. Imagine harsh rain, it's set in a dark forest... Steve: GOKU AFTER ALL THESE YEAR'S I CHALLENGE YOU. Goku: I hear you are pretty strong... BUT CAN YOU PROVE IT! *the scene is set, two rivals staring at each other. as the wind intensifies it zooms into a rain drop. It all goes black for a second...* 3... 2... 1... GO *Steve awakens his third eye.* Steve: NOW I CAN PREDICT EVERYONE OF YOUR MOVES. Goku activates Mastered Ultra Instinct! Steve: I think we would end this planet if we fought here. *they teleport to space* NOW THE FIGHT BEGIN'S. *GOKU USES HIS ULTRA SUPRIME MEDIUM RARE KAMEHAMEHAAAAAAAAAA. STEVE ACTIVATES HIS MAGIC LASER BEAM. GALVANIZED SQUARE STEEL. SOON SHOCKWAVES ARE SENT ACROSS THE UNIVERSE AS THE TWO POWERFUL MEN SCREAM* GOKU: YOU REALLY ARE STRONG. BUT NOT STRONG ENOUGH. *Goku activates ★ultra instinct double duplex with a side of animal style fries★* Steve: YOU THINK THAT'S POWERFUL *STEVE UNLOCKS HIS HIDDEN FORM. W O U L D Y O U L I K E T O P L A C E A T I P™* Goku: NO IT CANT BE. *sfx: energy intensifies. Goku: you fought well* *he smirks as he gets defeated.* Steve: You fought well Goku... *he wipes a single tear away* goodbye my friend. soon Steve, finally mastering the art of the underpaid employee and finally get's accepted to his job. Nobody knows what happened to Steve some say he died others say he is training to finally be the manager. Some say he is still making random stories. And other's say "next person to comment is-gay ⬇⬇⬇" but the truth is. Steve is in retirement. Steve truly went on a bizarre adventure.)
*I know this seem like bait but if I get 10k likes i'll animate this fully. If you think it's bait than I wont.*
Steve the manager or the Employee 😂
XD
that one cashier you'll never see again
he touches people
Who always has the most random but interesting stories.
Steve is such a well known character, it's awesome to see him finally recognized for his amazing story! Another great video, keep it up!
Are we going to talk about the fact that some random dude named "Cial" literally coined the name of the most recognizable character in all of human history? (yes i do believe that most people nowadays recognize steve more then historical figures)
Cial is a legend.
some random woman called "Mary" literally coined THE name of the most recognizable person of all time, it's not that weird
_"The most recognizable character in all of human history"_ is one hell of a stretch.
Your statement seems as ill informed as those who genuinely believe Dwayne Johnson is the most famous person in the world. You're forgetting many demographics.
My grandparents aren't gonna know who Steve is, or what Minecraft even is. They sure as hell know who Mickey Mouse is though, who I'd say is a much better contender for "most recognizable character in all of human history".
I'd also put forward certain comicbook characters such as Batman and Superman as better contenders for that title than Steve.
Don't get me wrong. Steve is certainly an iconic figure across many demographics, but "most recognizable character in all of human history" is just too much of a stretch.
@@MothmanReturnsIGuessMother of jesus
yeah how about some dude named markus made the game that included the most recognised character
"Please, no rule 34 on steve"💀🙏 7:30
They didn't listen...
Rip Steve the slime 😥
I thought his name was Steve? with the question mark as part of his name. Just like Jean? is the name of the dragon.
Ah damn this makes me miss the IRC days so much 🥲
While I was going through the logs I saw your name multiple times hahahaha
Same

Hahaaa it was such a different time.
at least he grew his beard back in his new texture
lol
I wish Alex would stop shaving her beard too.
@@fenn_fren Which one? The top one or the bottom one?
@@ni__wolf143 Both. Both is good.
Steve Gaming

There's probably no real deep meaning behind cial going with the name "Steve". It's the same principle with naming random things on a whim with the first name you think of at the top of your head, and you tend to go for generic, easy-to-remember names like Brad, Joe, Bob, or Steve. That's probably what happened there.
of course no one in that chat could've anticipated the Butterfly Effect possibly stemming from that one throwaway line lol
Raccoons need HUGS
In 20 years we'll still be figuring out tidbits about early Minecraft mysteries and history
Game: Drink a shot every time he says "Steve" in this video.
around 76 steves, i guess i don't need kidneys anyways.
The best thing about the situation was the first sentence in with steve was mentioned was with rule 34 😂
My personal headcannon is that White and Black Steve fused together with the help of Beastboy to become Steve
Edit: Ah I see what was going on in the comments and I wanted to clarify that I meant "headcanon" not "headcannon". Though seeing this made me chuckle for a bit
What's headcannon.
Is headcannon something similar to the siren head? Or is it a cannon that shoots heads?
@@Bioh9z9rdheadcannon is someone's personal cannon. Cannon refers to confirmed lore/story, that has been confirmed to be real. A headcannon is when we don't have an answer, so we make up our own
@@Pasi123😂😂
@@quujiniito The first part of your comment might be right for headcannon, but the second parts is just about headcanon which shouldn't be mistaken with headcannon
I’m still mad about the Steve retexture in Bedrock Edition, it looks SO BAD 😭
he has a weird pixel on his face
if you download the legacy skin pack you can be old steve
@@verifios yeah it looks like a pimple
Download a skin pack or make your own Steve idk. It works for what Bedrock edition is.
@@ivorycxxxx It really didn't need a change also most console players can't download skins from their parties...
Calling things and characters Steve was VERY common from 2006 to 2010ish...
Blame over the hedge. A scene has the squirrel saying " let's call him Steve" and the internet at the time did just that... To everything. That and gir hoodies.
We named things weird back then. Lol
700k by the end of the year? Get this mf to 1 million🤠
7:18 HOLY SHIT there's no way the time "White Steve" was coined C418 joined Minecraft. That's an insane coincidence
He probably joined the IRC channel multiple times a day so it's not that big of a coincidence
people leave and join irc channels all the time when they disconnect and reconnect. really not that special.
Drink 1 glass of water everytime he says "STEVE" in this video.
I am hydrated
Misread the directions, now I am a puddle
warning, do not use a fishbowl as a glass of water
I Dededestroyed my toilet
I tried now I can't stop pissing
Imagine randomly naming a random model then it becomes one of the most popular character name ever years later
steve is that one uncle that we all wished we had
7:28 Boy would Snowman be disappointed now.
Imagine if Cial said "I was going to post a message, but it may have changed the entire course of the game, so im not posting it >:)"
Would have been a different name them
Melvin
lol, guys. Steve is clearly named due to Docky's model resembling *Captain America* (see also: Beast Boy being, literally, Beast Boy).
this is my thought Rana means frog so that makes sense, then ofc beast boy because he look's like the superhero so then why not Steve because he looks like Steve Rogers (Captain America) then my only other guess is the person thought the last model looked simmular with a differn't skin tone so they probably thought it would be either funny to call them "black Steve" or they just got lazy and didn't want to think of a new name because that was easier to remember.

0:01 what about mario????

@@stickbugstickbug6320 what did you not understand
@@Paxnar what 3d modeling class?
@@Paxnardo they know steve
Thats cool... Nice to know this as a Minecraft Player who loves watching these type of videos...
I think we all can agree that we called him steve before hearing his/this mobs name.
Whoa, that's crazy! I've been seeing a very lengthy and in-depth discussion about this going down on the Minecraft Wiki discord server were all this was unearthed. Fascinating!
Edit: One of the people involved in the discussion is Kizzycocoa, who shows up in the IRC logs and was the first to add the names to the wiki!
How many times did you say Steve?
I do remember that the Steve skin in some versions of Legacy Console was referred to as "Steve?" instead of flat out Steve, so.. yeah
4:09 if I'd have to guess, if the characters were for another game, Dock just gave Notch the models to see how they would work in a game and Notch just put it out in an actual release for funsies, Minecraft wasn't nearly as big yet and this is stuff that could just very well happen.
Any time you mention your sub goal I'm kinda shocked by your sub count ngl
You deserve wayyy more subs imo
After watching this video, the word “Steve” was said so many times that it just sounds weird now
I love how Minecraft most core features was made because of the community
I remember once hearing about something similar to this before and it mentioned how in super meat boy Steve is a playable skin but because Steve was added before he was named Steve he was simply called Mr. Minecraft and then I think one of the developers suggested the name Steve to Notch and he liked it
I heard this a few years ago and I’m going entirely off of memory
This is how actual historians will be in the far future
The fact that the people on the forms started referring to "white Steve" as just "Steve" even though "black Steve" was the original is crazy. People just decided that white was the default 💀
Systemic racist ideology unfortunately 😔
thats gotta be racist💀
Racism moment
Its probably caused by the fact that in most games theres the black/negative variant of a character. (Like eggman nega)
I think it’s just that black Steve has white hair so he looks discoloured
Jesus, your editing skills are so nice. I clicked on the video and could not click off
this reminds me of when wynncraft added a raidboss to their server known as The Nameless Anomaly, and then it became a meme in the playerbase to give the anomaly a name, and they all collectively decided on Greg.
7:25 Predictions are crazy
I miss Notch so much
What if steve was named when a guy call the model "steve" after looking at the model and be like "hey this model looks like my uncle/friend" and then tell his friends about it 😅
Dude talking to his grandkids in the future " oh im the guy that gave steve from mine craft his name me and notch used to share memes about neckbeards" grandchildern in unison " sure grandpa whatever you say"
huh i always thought it was the other way around, funny how the steve we know today was named after another steve lol
Steve, what has he been hiding for 15 years?
Some guy called one of those mobs Steve, and Steve stuck.
Fun fact: in the older pocket edition versions (before it became Bedrock edition), the game’s default name for the player is Stevie. It wasn’t Steve for some odd reason.
And here I was thinking that super meat boy began the Minecraft Steve name
So this is my back story.... nice
Yoo didn't know Steve was like that, keep up the work! you'll get to 1 million soon
It's crazy and cool how you can look back at chat logs that are over a decade old.
Yay a history video!
Steve
4:11 - I read that Notch decided to not use the models because he and Docky couldn't work make the models/rigging work with the game. Notch thought it was complicated to do collaboration work and decided to go back to going solo.
Yet another well done documentary keep it up 🗿🍷👌
wait, minecraft has lore???
have you ever played minecraft?
Always has been 🔫
Always has been *BANG*
Does he know ?
You don't watch a lot of Game Theory do you?
cial be asking for royalties now
I thought it will be about original alpha lore.
Steve always spawned on the beach, and first players not knowing the game but hearing the simple lore somewhere always thought that there is a city somewhere that has to be found, far, far away and steve was some castaway survivor.
When im reminding the lore myself im also reminding the 2010 youtube ans have a literal nostalgia attack.
7:30 "Please no rule34 on steve..." And that's where another story started...
wonder where Cial is now
You really think steve is more famous than mario?
the creeper is but maybe not steve
That random game designer who created the beast boy and others, must be walking around must knowing her worked on one of the greatest games ever. Aura is unlimited
From the different uses of "Steve" shown in the video, it seems like "Steve" was either a running gag (Like calling a random person "Schmitt" because you're referencing a joke from a show you like), a term/shortened term for the game's entities that became a name, or a generic name used for unnamed people like John or Jane Doe.
7:31 Rule 34 was popular back then?
I thought no one cared about Rule 34 back then until it got popular by the memes
Rule 34 is "If it exists there's corn of it"
So it isn't a specific website or something
Rule 34 has been there since the 2000s...
It came from a set of rules.
@@CuriousNeon according to wikipedia, it came from a webcomic, then became part of that 'Rules of the Internet' meme
The memes?
I can feel the brainrot coming inside me
"Steve is the most recognisable character in all of gaming" I'm pretty sure Mario, Sonic, and Pikachu all have him beat in that department 💀
Minecraft is the biggest game and he is the face of it
@@PluralOfSillyGoosejust because its the biggest game ever doesnt mean hes the most recognized character of all time, mario is literally the face of video games and had a billion dollar movie
steve doesn't really have a personality, but even people who haven't played video games will probably recognize at least one of those three
Ew a sonic fan
@@Brick_Boi_ they mentioned mario and pikachu in the same sentence theres not even a reason to think theyre a sonic fan, not to mention there isnt really a problem with that..?
either way all he said was that sonic was a more recognisable character than steve, which honestly im not sure about in either direction
There's a universe where Minecraft's iconic character is named Darrell
Rana means frog in spanish, hence the outfit.
Today's Fact: The first exoplanet, a planet outside of our solar system, was discovered in 1995 orbiting a star called 51 Pegasi.

Yeh,
I remember hearing ages ago that Steve skin was based on some NPC from GTA SA but because of how popular minecraft got trying to Google it not only gives me mods for adding in minecraft Steve to that game so I can’t confirm nor debunk that claim
What a ripple effect man
"lets make black steve hunt!" is wild 💀
steve is like that one guy you see at the airport and never again
nice, scott buckley music in the backround
The idea Steve is just Steve because some guy thought a removed version of him looked someone named Steve is so funny
Steve is how I first found out about minecraft. After reading a diary of the wimpy kid book, I randomly googled one of the characters - Strong Steve. Doing this led me down a rabbit hole of animations, and as a little kid, I was enamoured by them. For years afterwards, I continued to consume Minecraft content, and I continually begged my mom to buy me Minecraft. After a few years of me annoying my mom with Minecraft, she finally bought it for me. That was 6 years ago, and still to this day I continue to play it
Black and white steve is cray
9:46 this got me crying bro 😂😂😂
Only TheMisterEpic can make Steve sound this ominous
In this house we love steve
7:35 omg Tesla was in the chat :o
Steve was a zombie but he was turned into back into a human to protect the villagers and fight the evils of their world (the Ender Dragon and the Witcher and their minions, other hostile mobs) by White Steve and Black Steve. Those two went on to become mythical creatures who have a conversation at the end of the game. (Their dialogue is blue and green because of their significant colors)
7:25 i did not expect rule 34 to being even older than i thought and the fact that i learned this info from a minecraft video no less
What texture pack did you used to change the sky in minecraft?
