Steve is the popular default skin in Minecraft since it is the oldest in the game. It is essentially a brown-skinned male character with a light blue t-shirt and navy blue pants. This was the first skin players were allowed to use for their in-game character when the game released in 2011.
While there are multiple kinds of default skins in the game today, Steve used to have loads of different variations simply because of its popularity. Here is a list of every Steve skin variation in Minecraft's entire history.
