About this title

Synopsis

Building houses and other structures is a major focus in the exploratory sandbox game Minecraft. Players can build their own towns and explore towns built by other players. Minecraft towns can include homes, skyscrapers, railroads, and anything else you can dream up. The information and instructions included in this book, supported by colorful cutaway and Minecraft illustrations, are sure to help readers make connections between the popular game and real-world STEM applications. The text also encourages readers to explore computer programming as a way to create Minecraft mods.

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.
