The player is the main character Minecraft, whom the users control. There are two default player skins Steve and Alex. At the start of the game, the player is put in a world, generated by a random or specified seed with an empty inventory.
The player has a Health bar with 10 hearts, and can be damaged by falls, suffocation, drowning, fire, lava, lightning, cacti, sweet berry bushes, falling into the Void, falling anvils and being hit by mobs and other players.
The damage of the Health bar can be alleviated by armor or Resistance potion and health can be restored by eating food and drinking specific potions in Minecraft apk download, or if the difficulty is set to Peaceful, health regenerates on its own. If the difficulty level is not set to Peaceful then the Hunger bar decreases over time and even faster while sprinting, jumping, or swimming.
Food refills the hunger level; however, eating rotten flesh and raw chicken has a chance of giving the player a hunger effect. Depending on the difficulty level, a low hunger level can also deplete a player's health.
