* SanitySlippage: Typically happens to Steve when he goes without sleep for days. In one instance, for little to no reason (except maybe to make traversal faster) he built a rail leading into the cave system he was exploring, and before he went to sleep, took a ride on the rail just for fun while there were Phantoms roaming about. [[spoiler:Sleep deprivation, unfortunately, is not the deepest slope for Steve as he grows genuinely unhinged even when he does get sleep as he has the Wither and the Ender Dragon in his head.]]

* YouKilledMyFather: The reason why [[spoiler: Alex wants to kill Steve. The old man Steve killed in Season One was her grandfather.]]

* LiteralSplitPersonality: [[spoiler:"Hero", as described by the Wither, is Steve's SuperpoweredEvilSide that came to be as a result of the Whither and Ender Dragon's corrupting influence and the totem Steve stole from a mansion resident. He essentially embodies Steve's desire to be a hero. Problem is, he thinks he needs to KillEmAll so there will ''never'' be any evil left in the world, while solely ignoring the fact that he himself is evil and flat-out says he wants to rule the world.]]

** Steve really gets annoyed whenever someone disses his craftsmanship, both because it happens so frequently and also because he's an adventurer, and as he points out that he's-

** Season 2 throws reveals that [[spoiler:Endy and Withy aren't the corrupting influences that turned Steve evil. WordOfGod states it's ''the Jebs'' who drove him mad, a claim supported by the Jebs' latest host Ron the Golem. Up until Steve had the Jebs in his head, he was mostly sane and didn't turn into a psycho until the Jebs hopped inside his head, and even the Wither and Ender Dragon were in Steve's head for several days. When Rob hosts them, he goes from being a dimwitted to passive-aggressive snarker who off-handedly threatens to bash his boss' face in, and he's had the Jebs for close to ''one day'']].

-->'''[[spoiler:Hero]]:''' For starters, if you're going to blame me for killing someone, you're going to have to be far more specific.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Barbara the Cannibal, despite being a follower of the Ender Dragon, is slow on the uptake and likes to take bites out of people. [[spoiler:She's also a scarily powerful witch who not only {{No Sell}s "Hero", but ''one-shots'' him. The aftermath of her blast leaves behind a giant crater in the middle of the village.]]

** Steve really gets annoyed whenever someone disses his craftsmanship, both because it happens so frequently and also because he's an adventure.

* Ron the Golem starts off as a dimwitted, ditzy, if not kind character who loves animals despite his unfortunate tendency to squish or crush and kill them. [[spoiler:When he gets the cube containing the souls of the Jebs put in him, he grows smarter and starts developing a mean streak. [[{{Foreshadowing}} Why do that sound familiar]]?]]

* UndyingLoyalty: The Raiders are devout followers of the Ender Dragon, referring to her as their Scaly Empress. One Raider is so devoted to her that when she tells him to jump off a cliff, he does it with no questions asked. Keep in mind this is after she threatened to charbroil him.

* DemonicPossession: Zigzagged. The Wither jumps into Steve when the latter traverses the Nether, but he lacks any sort of power or influence over Steve and doesn't have the means to take over his body since he lost most of his power when his body was destroyed. [[spoiler:On the other hand, just being in his head gradually corrupts Steve, which later gets amplified when the Ender Dragon joins in.]]

* EnemyMine: [[spoiler: Alex despises Steve for killing her grandfather. However, she teams up with him to kill Hero when she learns that the Wither is in his head (she started worshipping the Wither while looking for a way to resurrect her grandfather). She still promises to kill him later, though.]]

* FaceHeelTurn: In Season 2, [[spoiler:the Ender Dragon seemingly betrayed her friends, killing the Jebs and weakening the Wither enough to leave him helpless, thereby giving "Hero" a chance to conquer the world unopposed in exchange for ruling half of it. That said, it's implied that the Ender Dragon is possibly a FakeDefector as she's been leading him on wild goose chases, as his attempts to create the ultimate weapon have all ended in failure thus far, and when she is forced to lead him to something that will create the ultimate evil, it turns out to be a magic cube containing the souls of the Jebs. On the other hand, it also empowers Ron to the point where he can smash a hole in the wall the lair, which is made almost entirely out of near-indestructible Netherite]].

* NeverMyFault: Steve blames the old man for his current situation, i.e. having the Wither and Ender Dragon in his head. The problem is that, by the Wither's own admission, he was willing to jump into the first creature he saw and Steve happened to be right there, and the Ender Dragon ends up in his body is because he witnessed her death when the Whither ''explicitly told him not to look at the Ender Dragon as she was exploding'' (granted, he told him this ''while'' [[NowYouTellMe Endy was exploding]], but Steve still chose to ignore him).

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: This is what the Wither believes [[spoiler:with Steve and "Hero". The Wither, Ender Dragon, and the Jebs' attempts to kill "Hero" never stuck thanks to his ResurrectiveImmortality, so Wither thinks Steve is the one who kills him, as "Hero" is his [[LiteralSplitPersonality evil]] [[SuperpoweredEvilSide embodied]]. This is also why he resurrects Steve, much to the latter's chagrin]].

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Subverted. [[spoiler: Alex ''thinks'' this is what's going on when Steve doesn't know why she wants to kill him, [[YouKnowWhatYouDid but she just did a bad job of explaining]]. Once she states that Steve killed her grandfather, Steve connects the dots immediately.]]

* TookALevelInJerkass: It isn't so bad at first, but as the series goes on, Steve starts acting like an asshole. When he runs into the old man who told him how to reach the Ender Dragon, who was shipwrecked sometime after their first meeting, he refuses to help him solely because he despised the man's cryptic advice. [[spoiler:This is because of the Wither and Ender Dragon's influence, and the old man even tells Steve to get them out of his head quickly or he'll be corrupted.]] And if you thought his refusal to help the old man was a dick move, [[spoiler:then you'll consider his callous slaughter of the poor man and the destruction of his village at his own hand to be his absolute low]].

The series began on February 23, 2021 with the first season lasting four episodes. Season 2 began November 20, 2021 and will also last four episodes.

** Subverted with Steve's "roommates". The Ender Dragon can resurrect herself through her offspring and is simply using Steve as a convenient host while the Wither ''can'' leave once he has sufficient power. All he needs is a new body to inhabit. [[spoiler:It's unclear whether the Jebs can also leave Steve, but for the most part they're not too concerned about being in his head.]]

** [[spoiler:"Hero"]] ''really'' hates Steve, to the point that he refuses to call him by name and gets agitated when someone speaks his name. [[spoiler:The Ender Dragon likens it to having daddy issues, which isn't too far off the mark since "Hero" was technically born from Steve.]]

* BloodKnight: The Wither and the Ender Dragon, natch. They ''really'' love destroying stuff and raising chaos. The former practically drove the Pegasus population to extinction because he got addicted to their blood.

* CallBack: In Season 2 Episode 1, [[spoiler:"Hero"]], like Steve back in Season 1, has [[spoiler:the Ender Dragon living in his head since he made the mistake of watching her body explode, excusing his blunder by saying "Of course I was going to look!"]] In Season 1 Episode 3, [[spoiler:the Wither accuses Steve of watching the Ender Dragon's demise (which is how she wound up in his head), to which Steve replies, "Of course I looked!" since she was exploding in a ball of light.]]

* FaceHeelTurn: In Season 2, [[spoiler:the Ender Dragon seemingly betrayed her friends, killing the Jebs and weakening the Wither enough to leave him helpless, thereby giving "Hero" a chance to conquer the world unopposed in exchange for ruling half of it. That said, it's implied that the Ender Dragon is possibly a FakeDefector as she's been leading him on wild goose chases, as his attempts to create the ultimate weapon have all ended in failure thus far, and when she is forced to lead him to something that will create the ultimate evil, it turns out to be a magic cube containing the souls of the Jebs]].

* AdaptationalNameChange: [[spoiler: Herobrine is referred to simply as "Hero".]]

* BerserkButton: Steve really gets annoyed whenever someone disses his craftsmanship, both because it happens so frequently and also because he's an adventure.
-->'''Steve''': NOT AN ARCHITECT!

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:The Jebs were thought to have been killed by the Ender Dragon, as it was part of her deal with Hero so as to weaken the Wither. While she did destroy their bodies, she locked their spirits away inside a magic cube, which she convinces "Hero" into using so as to create [[ExactWords the ultimate evil]].]]
* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler: Hero's end goal is destroy everything that breathes, as there can't be evil in the world if no one's alive. "Winning by default", as Steve puts it.]]
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: This is what the Wither believes [[spoiler:with Steve and "Hero". The Wither, Ender Dragon, and the Jebs' attempts to kill "Hero" never stuck thanks to his ResurrectiveImmortality, so Wither thinks Steve is the one who kills him, as "Hero" is his [[LiteralSplitPersonality evil]] [[SuperpoweredEvilSide embodied]]. This is also why he resurrects Steve, much to the latter's chagrin]]

* BerserkButton: Steve really gets annoyed whenever someone disses his craftsmanship; not because he thinks he sucks, but because the people saying it sucks thinks he could do better.

* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:Contrary to Steve's expectations, the people of his village are ''not'' happy he killed the Ender Dragon. In fact, they never asked him to go on his quest for vengeance and he ran off without telling anyone and flat-out tell him they couldn't care less. They're more pissed about the fact that he chose vengeance over helping them rebuild. Steve...doesn't take the rejection well. At all.]]
