Beast Boy in Minecraft

Beast Boy was a randomly spawning mob in the world during Java Edition Indev 0.31 20100130. However, there is not much information available on its spawning.

Beast Boy was a passive mob that had no animation. It would aimlessly glide and jump around the world in the same still pose, never stop moving around. This behavior was identical to Rana, Steve, and Black Steve. When it died, it 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.

When Beast Boy died, it would drop string (0-2), feathers (0-2), gunpowder (0-2), and flint and steel (0-1) (extremely rare). The most common drop was a string.

Beast Boy did not make any sounds, and there was no audio associated with its presence in the game.

Beast Boy did not have any displayed name, savegame ID, or numeric ID associated with it.

Beast Boy was made by Dock, the artist for Minecraft at the time, one day after Steve and Black Steve. Beast Boy was named and modeled after the character of the same name from DC Comics, most well-known as a member of the Teen Titans. However, Beast Boy was only present in the game for a short time, as it was removed the next day.

The reason for its removal is unclear, but it is speculated that it was because the model was changed during Indev before becoming the human mob again. The human mob itself was pending a split, so it would have been better to wait and then merge Beast Boy into either Mob or Monster, depending on which entity it corresponds to.

Beast Boy was an interesting addition to Minecraft during its early stages. It was a humanoid mob that behaved differently from other mobs in the game, and its drops were unique. Although it was only present for a short time, it left an impact on the Minecraft community, especially for fans of the Teen Titans.

As Minecraft continues to evolve, we can only wonder what new mobs and features will be added to the game. However, it is always interesting to look back at the game's history and appreciate the mobs that were once a part of it.
