Steve in Risk of Rain

You're Steve, and you just fell into Risk of Rain 2.

Play a whole Risk of Rain 2 run in first person as Minecraft's Steve. Other players see Minecraft's blocky Steve model, wearing the Steve skin from your own Minecraft. Real Minecraft runs alongside the game and draws your hand, held item, hotbar, hearts and XP bar, with Minecraft's own animations and sounds.

How it plays

• You drop in with bare fists.
• Enemies you kill drop real Minecraft items that spin on the ground the way Minecraft drops do:
  • swords and axes, from wooden to netherite
  • bows from plain up to Power V, plus arrows
  • golden apples, TNT and ender pearls
• Find the Enchanted Book of Infinity and every kill drops 2 extra arrows. Your hotbar stays with you through every teleporter for the whole run. Elites drop better gear, bosses always drop something, and the loot gets better every stage you clear.
• 1-9 / scroll wheel switch your hotbar. Left-click attacks with what you hold. Right-click uses it: draw and fire the bow, eat a golden apple, place primed TNT, or throw an ender pearl to teleport.
• Risk of Rain 2's own items and chests still work, so your Minecraft kit stacks with your RoR2 build.

Two loot pools

Pick one in Steve's special slot on the character select:

• Overworld Loot: swords, axes, bows, arrows, the Infinity book, golden apples, and ender pearls.

• Sky Loot: spears, maces, an elytra and firework rockets, plus golden apples and wind charges.

  • Brace a spear and charge into enemies.
  • Smash down with a mace from a height.
  • Glide with real elytra physics, boosted by rockets.

• TANK: slower, with 50% more health and 30% more damage. Enemies drop armour sets (leather to netherite), crossbows, axes, enchanted golden apples and a shield.

Steve and Alex

Skins: Steve, Alex (mastery), Minecraft Java's other default skins (Ari, Efe, Kai, Makena, Noor, Sunny, Zuri), and Your Skin: the skin on your own Minecraft account, which other players see too.

Press / for Minecraft-style commands: /give any Minecraft or Risk of Rain 2 item, /summon and /kill enemies, /tp to any stage, /clear and /help (Tab completes names).

Enchanted loot: weapons and armour can drop with real Minecraft enchantments (Sharpness, Looting, Sweeping Edge, Protection, Thorns, Feather Falling and more), and every one works. Rarely, enemies drop a Totem of Undying: it goes in your off hand and saves you from death once, with Minecraft's totem animation.

Unlock The Maniac! (clear 5 stages in one run as Steve): less health, much faster, a double jump, and chaos loot. Place end crystals and hit them to blow them up (they chain), knock bosses into orbit with the Stick (Knockback 1000), and throw Splash Potions of Harming, TNT, wind charges and fireworks.

Controls: 1-9 or scroll to switch slots, left-click to attack, right-click to use, N to drop the held item (Ctrl+N for the stack), F5 for third person, / for commands. Wear an elytra on your chest and jump in mid-air to glide, exactly like Minecraft.

Press F5 to switch between first and third person, as in Minecraft.

• Other players see Minecraft's own player model, animated with Minecraft's own animation maths, wearing your armour and holding your item.
• Beat the game as Steve on Monsoon to unlock Alex, the mastery skin.
• An armour column and an item tooltip beside the hotbar show what you're wearing and your held item's enchantments.

What you need

• Risk of Rain 2 and Minecraft: Java Edition.
• Melty installs everything else: BepInEx, a bundled Prism Launcher with Fabric and the mashup's Minecraft mod.
• The first time you play, Prism asks you to sign in with the Microsoft account that owns Minecraft, then downloads Minecraft 26.3.

Co-op for up to 4 players: friends join your Risk of Rain 2 lobby through Steam as usual. Each player plays their own Steve with their own Minecraft running alongside, and loot is personal: each player gets their own drops.

Minecraft's textures and sounds come from your own copy of Minecraft while it runs; none of them are shipped.
