About this title

Synopsis

Minecraft is an exploratory sandbox game that has become tremendously popular. Players are able to craft tools, build homes, mine for gold and other resources, and do much more. Players can also build and run their own farms. Thanks to frequent updates, Minecraft farms are becoming more and more like real ones. Players can grow crops, build barns, and raise livestock. These activities will teach readers about real-world STEM concepts. Readers are also encouraged to learn about computer programming as a way to create their own mods for the game. Colorful photographs and fun illustrations show readers how to create their own functioning farms in Minecraft.

Reviews

Gr 2-4�It can be tempting to load up on Minecraft and other game guides in the hope of snagging kids who prefer gaming to reading. Unfortunately, books on the subject have been known to prompt derision or even animosity from players. This series offers very little new information, even for beginners, and provides only a few sets of instructions, which may frustrate dedicated Minecrafters. However, the information presented in the set is accurate, and it�s likely that kids with prior knowledge will read these books closely, with a high degree of analytical attention�a plus for educators, too. VERDICT High-interest titles with low utility. Consider for large collections.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
