Find Best Price at Amazon"I've been playing Minecraft for 4 years now. When I first started playing I didn't have access to the internet so I learned everything on my own. I'm so happy I found these handbooks!! The Redstone handbook has taught me a general idea of how it works, but I'm still confused with the concept of "endless possibilities". I've learned many new things from each Handbook. (If you're old enough to play the game, you're old enough to read the books) They are made very clearly with photos of all explanations. In fact, if you put so much time into Minecraft that you ARE expert, then you'll want to have these books just as a fan."
"A great book for my seven year old to learn many tricks and shortcuts with the game. He learned how to make basic weapons and what the armor protected the player from."
"Make sure you get the updated editions, so you can have the most 'to date' version of the books - although, in another 6 months, we'll probably need an updated version of the updated version."
"There is no way for me to save the sticker except by carefully using a sharp scissor and cutting around it, so I todssed the sticekr with the discarded shrinkwrap. I also bought the "Minecraft: Redstone Handbook (Updated Edition)" Minecraft: Redstone Handbook (Updated Edition): An Official Mojang Bookat the same time in one Order Invoice."
"My son loves this collection."
"Lovely books, this was bought for my son whose is 9 yo and he keeps reading them and looking thing up all the time."
