Steve is presented as a human character with a blocky appearance, which is consistent with the aesthetic and art style of Minecraft. The character has also inspired a considerable amount of unofficial media and urban legends, most notably the Herobrine creepypasta internet meme which became widely shared around internet communities during the 2010s. Considered by some critics as a mascot for the Minecraft intellectual property, his likeness has appeared extensively in advertising and merchandise, including wearable apparel and collectible items.

Depending on the version of Minecraft, players have a chance of spawning as either Steve or Alex when starting a new game.
