Minecraft Crash Course — Megan Miller

As a complete beginner to the world of Minecraft, readers learn to build an impressive home base, fight formidable enemies, and craft everything from a pickaxe to an automated farm.

Heralded as one of the greatest video games of all time, Minecraft is an inconceivably vast, constantly growing open world -- and downright intimidating if you aren't sure where to start.

Have no fear: Minecraft Crash Course is here!

In a beginner's guide that takes readers from the launch screen to the strange (and dangerous!) realms of the Nether and the End, they'll learn the most efficient ways to craft, travel, and battle in a world that is uniquely their own. Chapters are loaded with hands-on challenges, so novice players have the opportunity to learn everything their world has to offer, and find various hidden secrets scattered throughout. Readers learn tips for mining rare ores, protecting villagers from enemy raids, making healing potions, building advanced, automated contraptions with redstone, and more!
