Minecraft’s default player skin Steve has finally regrown its original beard, after 13 years.
Developer Mojang has updated the character designs for both Steve and Alex for the first time in over a decade. The changes add extra 3D elements to both of their blocky models – and return Steve’s OG face fuzz.
Steve’s beard was lost back in 2009, as part of a move to make Minecraft’s default skin more gender-neutral. It wasn’t until 2014 that the ponytailed Alex made an appearance.
