The character's core mechanic seems to be that they'll be able to physically change the stage and trap their opponents or keeping them from getting back on stage. During the character's teaser trailer, Steve was also able to create blocks that appear to be different materials (like wood, stone, and dirt). Steve appears to have the ability to conjure an undefined number blocks and build structures during a round of Smash Ultimate.
The trailer for the fighter teased a few mechanics that looked unlike anything any other Smash Ultimate character is capable of. Sakurai explicitly stated that Steve will be very different from the rest of the Smash Ultimate cast but didn't explain how exactly. What makes Minecraft Steve a unique fighter in Smash Bros. Players will get to choose which of the four they want to fight as before a round starts, but regardless of who they pick their move set appears to remain the same. While these are four separate characters in the Minecraft franchise they'll act as the same character in Smash Ultimate. Much like Hero from the Dragon Quest franchise that was added to Smash Ultimate in 2019, it appears that Steve will come with three distinct skins: Alex, Zombie, and Enderman. Nintendo What other skins will Minecraft Steve come with? Several Amiibo have been released for these additional characters, as well.'Minecraft' Steve joins 'Smash Ultimate' along with three other skins from the sandbox adventure.

You can even use the magma block to hit fighters on platforms above you. Steve has an attack similar to PK Fire that lets him set the ground alight, which should help with preventing fighters from dashing in, while his magma block works as another anti-air attack. It can be summoned nearly instantly when you need it. It's important to keep track of resources when playing as Steve, but not as necessary to always know where your crafting table has gone. Even if there is snow, you will find stone and wood to harvest and use for your weapons and gear. On the Minecraft-specific stage, you'll find the same resources located on the same spots on the ground, regardless of the biome you're playing in.
