History

Trivia

• Similar to Steve's beard being confused for a smile, many players mistake Sunny's hair for a hat, such as a beanie.
  • By extension, it is also commonly called a bowler cut, which wasn't the intention.<ref>Template:Cite Discord</ref> Despite this, it is referred to as one in the character creator.
• Of all nine default skins, Sunny is Minecraft:Jasper Boerstra's personal favorite.<ref>Template:YouTube link</ref>
• Although not usable in the map itself, Sunny and Noor are used to promote the map Minecraft:Trial Chamber Legends.<ref>Template:Mcnet</ref>
• Despite there being an arm category, Sunny's prosthetic is actually a part of their base in Bedrock Edition.
• In a Minecraft:Minecraft Monthly video announcing the Minecraft:Beyond the Pale Garden event, Sunny can briefly be seen without their overalls, before suddenly regaining them. This is due to the fact that they are wearing different pants instead of their normal overalls.<ref>Template:YouTube link</ref>
• In multiple YouTube shorts, Sunny is usually depicted having a masculine voice.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>
• Prior to Sunny's introduction, the character Template:MCD in Template:MCD also had a prosthetic arm, designed as an intentional connection between the two.<ref>Template:Cite Discord</ref>
