Minecraft Adds Female Avatar

Minecraft Adds Female Avatar

In the past, when you started Minecraft , you could only play as a blue shirted dude named Steve. However, this is all about to change. Mojang has said that this simple avatar choice does not accurately represent the diversity of their player base. Thus, they are introducing a new “Alex” skin pack to the game.

“Jolly old Steve doesn’t really represent the diversity of our playerbase,” Mojang developer Owen Hill said. “For that reason, we’re giving all players opportunity to play with an Alex skin instead. She brings thinner arms, redder hair, and a ponytail.”

Alex skins have been available on the PC for some time, but PlayStation and Xbox gamers will be able to control her as of April 29. It’s a small step, but a good one on the path to a more diverse world of gaming.
