Steve and Alex’s default ability allows them to mine material from around arenas. Pressing B will automatically mine the floor ahead of the character, with materials mined dynamically changing based on the location.
Players can then use collected material at a crafting table to automatically craft the highest level tool they have enough material for. Players can summon the crafting table using the block move.
The fighters’ neutral attacks have them swinging a sword, axe or pickaxe, which players can level up to five times.
Material is also used to fuel various moves, including an ability to summon and ride a minecart. If players run out of iron material, the move will end. For balance, materials will appear at a predetermined rate on competitive stages, to avoid random elements.
Steve and Alex’s other abilities allow them to summon a magma block, drop an anvil or pull opponents toward them and automatically place them inside a pen.
The characters can also spawn temporary block platforms when in the air, or spawn wings and glide. Steve and Alex’s Final Smash move summons a piston used to knock opponents into the House of Boom.
The DLC’s new arena, Minecraft World, consists of multiple areas with their own biome, which randomly change with each match and feature plenty of blocks for players to destroy.

Apple's FineWoven cases rumored to get one final release – AppleInsider
Apple has probably stopped production of its poorly-received FineWoven cases for the iPhone, but a new report from the same herald of its death says there is one last set of seasonal colorways coming.
Now according to leaker Kosutami, who first reported the cancellation, there could still be one more push for the FineWoven cases.
Pressed on the rumor, Kosutami emphasizes later in the same thread that if this is correct, it will be for only one more season. It’s now almost eight months since the launch of the iPhone 15 range, so it’s unlikely that there is to be a new mid-cycle color of the iPhone, but perhaps there can yet be new colors for the FineWoven cases.
Consequently, this rumor can at best be said to be possible, especially if Apple had already committed resources to the new colors. However, since FineWoven has proven to be startlingly poor at stain resistance or even just durability, it’s more believable that it is gone for good than it is that FineWoven will get a last hoorah.
