Mind's been wandering on ways to nerf Steve and I felt like sharing some of my ideas.
Steve's blocks can no longer be placed in the air. There must be ground near it for it to attach to. This includes walls as you can place blocks on walls in Minecraft, so if you are hugging a wall, you can place a block right under you as usual.
Steve's resource gathering is altered a bit, Steve starts the round with no tools or resources. There is also no crafting table, leaving him with absolutely nothing at the start. He has to mine the ground with his fists to start getting some wood to get his game going. The only resources he can gather with his fists are dirt (Or whatever the equivalent block is for that stage) and wood. He must create the crafting table with shield + b once he has adequate wood and then he can craft his wooden tools once he has the resources. He can then begin to collect stone with said wooden tools to craft stone tools. With stone tools, he can begin to collect iron to craft iron tools and gain access to anvils and minecarts. Iron allows him to begin collecting all other resources such as redstone, gold, and diamonds. Without iron tools, he cannot collect diamonds, gold, or redstone. This means he has to gradually upgrade between each and every tier instead of being able to go straight to diamond.
When Steve dies, he'll lose all of his resources and tools and won't respawn with any of it, meaning he has to make use of his upgrades to try and gain a lead before he dies and is sent back to square one.
