During the presentation, Steve and the other characters cannot jump as high as most characters but they can build blocks to help out!
They also need to consider biomes and balance the game to accommodate the new fighter.
While in the air you can press B and you will create a block right under you.
The Minecraft gang also has the ability to use cart tracks and fly!
Skins
Steve will come with alternate skins allowing you to swap as Alex, Zombie and Enderman.
Stages
The Minecraft World stage will be coming to the game, and there are six different biomes.
The biome you play on will be randomized at the beginning of the match!
Crafting
During the fight, you will be able to upgrade each of your weapons!
You will be able to mine throughout the match which will grant you materials.
Then heading over to the crafting block on the battlefield, you will have to press B and this will upgrade the weapon you hold.
You are also able to mine walls on the map.
It is also important to note that all weapons get crafted at the same time!
Kirby
The star of the showcase yesterday may have been Minecraft Kirby, after all, how can you not love this adorable face.
