Book Synopsis

The most comprehensive guide available for new players learning the ropes of the world's most popular game--Minecraft!

NOT OFFICIAL MINECRAFT PRODUCT. NOT APPROVED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH MOJANG.​

Immerse yourself in a new, vibrant, delightful world--exploring, fishing, farming, fighting (if you want), fossil-hunting, and so much more. Unlike any other game world, in Minecraft, you can touch, pick up, and place pretty much anything you see, anywhere; you can travel as far as you want in any direction, from desert to ocean to snowy mountains and crystal caves; and you can create any structure, from a humble animal pen to a giant working rollercoaster, using just the blocks the world is made of.

There's just so much to do in Minecraft that it's very easy to overlook some of the extensive and fantastic gameplay. This guide will show you how to survive and thrive in this deep, broad, and complex world. It's chock full of pro tips, challenges, and step-by-step instructions that will get you on the ground and running--and sneaking, boating, swimming (or even flying with rare elytra wings)!

From how to find or build a simple shelter on your first night, to finding exotic hidden temples (and loot) and dimensions, this guide will step you through the must-know basics, including:

• What to do on your first day (and second, and third, and more!)
• The important places to visit and loot
• How to travel and what to bring with you
• How to avoid getting lost
• How to gain the upper hand with skeletons, zombies, and other creepy mobs
• The sturdiest and strongest weapons and tools to craft
• How to build and destroy (TNT anyone?)
• The best way to mine for precious diamonds
• Where to go if you like a battle (and how to avoid them!)
• How to find the hidden dimensions (and denizens) like the Nether and the End
• Pro tips, challenges, and step-by-step activities to get you in the groove
