Zuri is one of the nine default skins players can use in Minecraft, and the seventh to be introduced. First appearing as a forager in Introducing New Default Skins!, Zuri has become a major mascot of the brand, appearing in promotional material for updates such as Spring to Life and Trails & Tales.

Zuri is typically depicted with wide arms, dark brown skin, and short black hair in a buzzcut. Their eyes are dark brown, lips cordovan, and possess noticeable cheekbones or a blush. Zuri's shirt is red polo, with white cuffs and hiked up, light brown trousers resembling khakis.

In the character creator, Zuri has approximately five unique items.
