Minecraft wiki entry for Black_Steve, associated text: Black Steve was a passive mob. It had no animation, so it glided aimlessly around the world in the same pose and occasionally jumped, although no jumping animation existed either. As a result, it would simply be raised off of the ground and then fall back down. Upon death, Black Steve would not fall over to the ground or flash red or white and appear to die, as most mobs do. It would just disappear shortly thereafter, and drop the items it was designated to drop.
