Publisher's summary

How do you live through the first night in Minecraft?

Do you die over and over again?

Do you wonder why you cannot eat a pumpkin and yet there it is growing in the field?

Do you want to walk up to your friends and shoot off a bunch of fireworks while they ooh and ah at the amazing things you do?

These are issues we all have faced....

If only there was a book that contained basic, solid information on this square world - that makes you understand what kind of world you are in, that explains what a biome is, or how to build a home, and how to amaze your friends by finding the rarest block.

All you need is education, education, education, and...pretty pictures.

Here it is. The book for you. You will get the help you need and so much more.

  • Never feel stupid again when you walk into a village. You will be prepared. Pictures have been taken straight from the game so that you understand what is being discussed.
  • Tell the difference between a spruce tree and an oak.
  • Know what plants plant and how to use them.
  • Is fishing for you? Farming? Mining? Woodcutting? Or perhaps you are someone who wants to try it all?
  • You will be ready to see all the biomes and can categorically tell your friends where you are when you arrive.
  • You will become a well-rounded Minecraft player.

This book contains that and so much more in an easy, digestible understanding of the complexities of the Minecraft world. If you feel this is not enough information about blocks, there are other sources; however, none are quite as concise as the book you are about to buy. So just click “Add to Cart” and let the fun begin.

Oh, did we mention that we write with over 14 years of experience?

We know Minecraft. Do you?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Need to see the pictures!

Because this book is largely a how to book, you need to see the pictures and diagrams that the text refers to. The actual book is very good but it does not translate to an audiobook. This book is useless in its audio only version.

Not recommended

There isn't much "guide" to this guide. It's mostly a read of information that's already on the wiki, describing in detail things like what different blocks or resources are. Aside from the very basic "punch a tree" first-few-minute tutorial that can be found anywhere, there is very little actual guidance happening.

The mispronunciation of "taiga" and "lapis" absolutely is painful as well.

Wow Great Book

Our son is a Minecraft Guide and he loves this set of books. He takes them everywhere. Its cool because it actually gets him off of the game for a while and gets him to listen.

Best Guidebook I have Listen

Amazing, well making guidebook. Very informative. Leads on a step by step details on how to get started playing Minecraft. The information were kind of small, but you will get the point. This book has helped me to get better at the game. 10/10.

Useful Guides!

Really useful guide, even if you've already played. Minecraft the beginner's handbook is very helpful even though I've played it already. I recommend this book because it's fun and shows you useful guides.

Exceptionally Book

Exceptionally supportive for fledglings figuring out how to play Minecraft. It carried simplicity to follow bearings and drawings on how and why kids, youthful grown-ups the same can play, comprehend why their youngsters are so engaged with it.
