How tall is steve?

In the game Minecraft, you control a character named steve. But how tall is steve and how does he stack up to the most dangerous places and objects?

As a baseline, ever block in Minecraft is said to be 1 meter by 1 meter by 1 meter. With that said, each of these blocks are 16 pixels long. This means that each pixel is about 6.25 cm long.

Jumping back to steve, his head is 8 pixels square meaning his head is 50 cm (19.7”). His torso is 10 pixels or 62.5 cm (24.6”), his arms are 12 pixels or 75 cm (29.5”) and his legs are 14 pixels or 87.5 cm (34.4”) giving Steve a total height of 32 pixels or 200 cm or about 6.6”. On top of that, his shoulders are just over 3 feet across… Not the kind of guy you want to run into in the forest.

So how does Steve stack up to the world of Minecraft?

Well for starters, this typical tree is 7 meters tall (23’) and this villager structure is 11 meters (36’). If you were to jump off this building it’d be like jumping out of the fourth floor window but for Steve this isn’t a problem.

Now to the bad guys. An enderman is big dude at 2.9 m tall (9.4’). A creeper on the other hand is only 1.6 m or just over 5’. The skeleton is about the same height as Steve at 1.9 m or just over 6’ while the zombie is about the same height as Steve. The scary one would be the spider that is 1.7 m or 5’6” long with meter long legs (3.3’). If it had fangs they would be about 0.3 m or almost a foot long!

The terrain in minecraft is also quite a sight. Steve traverses it by jumping block to block. Again, with each block 1m tall. That isn’t impossible as this guy points out, but I certainly can’t do that. Speaking of terrain, the world of minecraft is quite short. This is a jump from the highest buildable point in the game to the lowest. The fall is 250 m (820’) and takes just under 5 seconds. In contrast, a fall like this on earth would take about 7 seconds, meaning gravity in minecraft is about 75% greater than that of earth.

With that said, it’s no surprise that Steve is such a tough built dude, his body has to withstand a far greater force.

Anyways, that’s been a quick look at the world of minecraft and just how large it really is. If you liked this video be sure to show your support by sharing this video on twitter and rating the video. Anyways guys, thanks for watching!
