Minecraft wiki entry for Human, associated text: Humans were the first mob ever added to the game.
Humans, when spawned, may head to the left for half a second, before turning around to attack the player. Zombified piglins may also do this on occasion.[verify]
If a human spawner is placed in Java Edition Beta 1.8 or later, it appears blank and no mobs spawn.
Coding for humans was still present until Java Edition 1.8 (under the generic name "Monster"). Only the human model was removed in Beta 1.8. Notch also used the name "monster" for the green humanoids in his unfinished game: Legend of the Chambered.
Humans use the old player model, so they are actually slightly taller than the player.
Despite being taller than the player, humans looked up at the player when chasing them. This is because their actual hit-box and eye height were shorter than the player's hit-box and eye height.
