While players have been able to buy and download skins of other characters Mojang s Simpsons vk pa

Just as Tom was everyone s first friend on MySpace back in the day, so Steve is everyone s first character skin in Minecraft vk . Now he s getting some competition for that role: a female character named Alex.
Now, everyone loves Steve he s probably the most famous minecrafter in the world, and has excellent stubble. But jolly old Steve doesn t really represent vk the diversity of our playerbase explained the company in a blog post .
Her introduction represents a change in policy for Mojang, since Minecraft s original developer Markus Notch Persson originally intended the game s default hero to be genderless even with the stubble.
The blocky shape gives it a bit of a traditional masculine look, but adding a separate female mesh would just make it worse by having one specific model for female Human Beings vk and male ones. That would force players to make a decisions about gender in a game where gender doesn t even exist.
Steve s unchallenged role as the default skin has not prevented Minecraft from amassing a huge audience that crosses the gender divide, particularly among children, where girls are as fervent Minecraft players as boys.
While players have been able to buy and download skins of other characters Mojang s Simpsons vk pack is launching for PlayStation players this week, too making Alex a free default option is a significant move.
