The player

The player of Mine Blocks is also known as Frank, and is the alleged protagonist of the Mine Blocks.

Behavior

The player can jump about 2 blocks high by pressing the up button, although a higher jump can be achieved by jumping on a bed or a slime block. The player can also use the movement keys up, sneak, left, and right (or W, S, A, and D, respectively) to move on land, and swim through water. To climb ladders, the player can use the up button, and the sneak button to stop. The player can attack mobs and break blocks using the left click button. They can also enter portals by standing in them, ride entities (pigs, minecarts and rafts) using the use button and left click and then the movement keys, and interact with other items in the world using the use key and left click. The player can also run by pressing the "right/left button" twice, quickly. Furthermore, the player can lose health.

In survival mode, most hostile mobs are in pursuit of the player. Some mobs, like the zombie pigman, are hostile only when attacked first. In creative, hostile mobs will only pursuit the player if attacked by the player first, though they can't deal damage to the player.

World effect

The world is only active in a 30x30 box around the player. However, this is neither centered on the player, nor placed in a fixed grid, so it is necessary to test for every player position you might want to use this for. The most extreme above:below or left:right inequality found so far is 18:11.

Appearance

The player has the same height and size as a zombie.

The skin is the graphics that the player appears as. The default skin is often compared to a pirate, or more jokingly, as a hobo. Beneath the blue jacket is just skin.

The skin is now customizable as of 1.26, to any uploaded and publicized skins or you can upload one.

Trivia

• Prodevus, the artist who designed the player's default skin, argues that Frank is a teacher. [1]
• The Player can technically jump 2.5 blocks if jumping from slabs or a stick to a full sized block.

Bugs

• Sometimes when sprinting into a wall, the player will clip into the wall. they can fix this by either tap jump repetitively to climb it, or just press the opposite direction of the wall. This glitch is shared with mobs as they spawn too close to a wall, and they will often use the former method automatically to escape.
• The player sometimes fully avoids fall damage by landing on the very edge of a block.
• When the player prompts to enter a command with T, the player's sprite will freeze, displaying the last sprite image shown before pressing T.
