Minecraft is a computer game where you build structures, collect items, mine materials and fight monsters in order to survive. But Minecraft is way more than a computer game. It's an alternate universe of creation, exhilaration, survival, adventure, passion! Don't enter that universe alone. Take an experienced guide who'll help you constantly-- from living through your first night, to hosting your own Minecraft server! Stephen O'Brien will take you deep inside craft and mine, cave and menagerie, farm and village. He'll reveal combat traps and tricks you need to know-- help you survive where few dare to go. Customize your experience: monstrous, peaceful, and more. Harvest resources, craft tools and shelters. Grab your pickaxe: mine iron, gold, diamonds, and redstone. Escape 14 types of hostile mobs. Get friendly mobs on your side and build automated farms. Brew potions to cure ills, gain superpowers, and throw at enemies. Transform your shelter into a palace.
