Introduction
If you’re reading this book there’s a good chance you’re one of two people – a parent, wanting to learn more about what your kids are doing in Minecraft, or a teen or pre-teen wanting to have a quick reference to learn every little recipe you can get your hands on within the vast world of Minecraft. This book is for both of you!
Minecraft, or as Jesse calls it, “Virtual LEGOs,” are the building blocks of the new generation. From geology to construction to mining to gardening, and even electricity, programming, and logic, Minecraft will teach you (if you’re in the pre-teen crowd), or your children (if you’re the parent) all sorts of things as you explore this mystical universe.
Minecraft is all about exploring. The more you explore, the more you discover. It’s our hope that as you explore this book, you’ll also discover many new things you can try in the incredible world of Minecraft!
About This Book
From Jesse (Thomas’s Dad):
When I was 10 years old I took a programming course in the summer that changed my life. I was enamored by the ability to make things on the screen, and watch them perform, as I told them to perform. I started reading articles in the 3-2-1 Contact magazine I got every month and trying out the programming examples I learned in the back, adapting, learning, and soon creating my own things.
This type of learning has gone away in our current school system and society. We just expect our kids to gain programming knowledge, and there are not many places on computers for them to explore like I had growing up. It wasn’t until my kids started to play Minecraft that I started to see this environment of exploration come back into mine, and my kids’, life.
When I started building the concepts of this book, I realized how great a family activity the game of Minecraft is. The truth is, my son Thomas and my other sons are really the experts, and I’m here to learn from them, so I approached the book in this same manner. In fact I let Thomas write most of the book – yes, this book was written by a 12 year old just like you, your siblings, or even your children (if you’re an adult). Then, I would review his material, make sure you could understand it, and added any missing content I felt you might be interested in. Sometimes even his younger brothers Joseph and JJ, would pitch in a screenshot or a tip.
In this book, we assume you may have a little knowledge of Minecraft (perhaps through Minecraft For Dummies), but need a good reference on what you can do in Minecraft, and what types of things you need to gather to advance in the game. This book serves as a reference to help you start building, and once you know how to build, you can then focus on the exploring, the true essence of Minecraft.
This book is a reference. You should be able to pick it up, and sift from chapter to chapter and not even in order, and you’ll still be able to learn plenty. There is no need to read each chapter in order (but if you do, that’s great too!).
Minecraft is constantly updating. There will likely be new recipes, potions, and other types of creations that get released perhaps even before this goes to print. We did our best to include as many as we can in this book, but there will certainly be more!
From Thomas:
In this book, the knowledge that you get is nothing like anything you’ve ever seen before. When I started out on Minecraft, I knew a lot about the game, but I didn’t know any of the recipes, much less what the blocks could do. I didn’t know most of the enchantments, or much about brewing potions. This book takes a player with average or beginner experience, just like a 12-year-old me, and leads that guy or girl to a much higher level in the game. Most people don’t know a lot of things in Minecraft when they first get started. This book teaches you how to get there. As you read this, I’ll take you along the same journey I did.
