In short - this Steve was deprived of his eyes in the Land for his violation of the oath given to the creator that greed would not be a priority for that, alas
Now he sees only in the dark, with the help of the Eye of the Edge flying next to him, in the light it simply disappears, leaving the mob completely blind (yes, in my canon, Steve is still a mob, not a player)
Has Steve changed since the curse? No, he is still the same greedy and even more cruel, from which he not only extracts resources on his own, but also resorts to killing other players in order to take resources
