Introduction

Before I even thought about writing this book I found it popping up more and more fre-
quently in random conversations among all age levels—everyone from my nine-year old’s
best friends going on up…way up. Minecraft’s unique open-endedness offers an equally
open-ended fascination to people of all ages. Fifty million of them, and counting.
Clearly, Minecraft was enjoying unparalleled success for an independent production, but
there was something strange going on. The game still lacked an in-depth tutorial or docu-
mentation of any sort. And while there is no paucity of online resources, how do you
explain a game where every block bends to your will; where the terrain can dance to your
tune; where an electrical system can do a crazy range of things including simulating its own
computer; and where other elements such as casting enchantments, brewing potions, and
finding a way to get to and defeat the final boss require some curiously specific, obtuse
steps and strategies?
The online community has stepped into that breach admirably, going to the point of
decompiling the code to understand and document specific game mechanics, but the essen-
tials are often buried among hundreds of thousands of random Minecraft videos or tucked
in with other encyclopedically detailed documentation. And, among all that, there are liter-
ally thousands of junk sites trying to trick you into clicking on ads or installing malware.
This book fills the gap, bringing together all the key information you need in a single place.
Written from the player’s perspective, it takes you through the essentials and then far
beyond with all the background information, crafting recipes, strategies, and ideas you need
to make your Minecraft world truly your own. It covers everything from first-night survival
to hosting your own Multiplayer server.
If you are a parent wondering if Minecraft is suitable for your own kids, consider it to be as
far from a consumption-only experience as old-school rote learning is from an active educa-
tion filled with exploration and discovery. Minecraft will inspire great feats of imagination
and a thirst for understanding how its many facets enmesh and evolve. Best of all, it’s like
one of those great movies or books that are marketed toward kids but entertain adults on a
whole other level. Play it together—even turn off the monsters through its creative or peace-
ful modes—and enjoy your time playing together with kids as young as four or five. But I
warn you, it’s addictive. Please remember to give them a go now and then.
No matter who you are or how you play, you’ll find Minecraft to be an endlessly fascinat-
ing, wonderful, enjoyable world. It’s going to be quite the journey!
