My son is almost 8. He is fairly obsessed and amazingly proficient at Minecraft. He owns 3 of the smaller official guides (redstone, essential and combat) and one huge guide (the ultimate guide by gamesmaster, which he says is the best) and devoured all 4 of them while continuing to refer to them time and time again. He just spent his allowance on this and is very satisfied with it. He says he has learned some things the other guides have not taught him (like in the end and beyond chapter, where he learned where to summon a wither and build a beacon... I have no clue what he is talking about ). He does agree there aren't "hacks" in this guide, but still tips and tricks that are useful. In all, he says "it's a really good book!"His is also well constructed and seems sturdy, but reading the other review, I'll keep an eye on the book and update here if it starts to fall apart.
Content is good, but the construction of the book is deplorable. Pages fell out immediately upon opening. Sky Pony Press should be ashamed. I would give more stars based on the content, but frankly a book is useless if it falls apart. I hope the author can either switch printers or Sky Pony Press can fix their binding issues.
This book is so deplorably bound that it was already falling apart before I even took it out of the box. The hacks are for playing Minecraft on a PC, and the author issues a caveat that hacks may work "differently" on a game console. I was intending to give this to my grandsons who are into Minecraft, but all the loose pages make it very impractical for even light use.
My grand sons ages 9 and 11 loved this book. They are always looking for hacks for their favorite games. I highly recommend this book for any kids who are really into Minecraft.it is easy to read and has lots of moves.
I've been trying to find the perfect gift for my nephew, who is obsessed with this game. He's 11. I read through this book and decided upon it because it provides really helpful tricks that I know he will appreciate. The key is that the book is really user-friendly, really easy for a young person (and an adult like me!) to understand, rather than having to look everything up on YouTube. I highly recommend this for others struggling to find the right gift for a son or nephew or friend obsessed with the game. All they're looking for is how to be better at it, and this will for sure help them! Charlie
Stan! What's Minecraft and how do you tame a horse in it? Sad that I've started relating more to the parents.Really though.. Hacks? Why? What is this?The kid wanted it.. he seems happy with it. So Cheers.
THE BINDINGBad. Very bad. One of those books where the pages instantly begin to fall out. I checked at and sure enough other people have the same complaint. It's a shame because the book looks nice. It won't hold up except for the most gentle of readers.CONTENT'Hacks' isn't accurate. There's no coding here, but good advice for Nubs and Noobs and even more advanced players for stuff like how not to get lost when you first land, and how to find home. Also strategies for emergency situations, like what to do when you are out in the middle of nowhere and have no shelter and night is coming!For more advanced players there are strategies on how to perfect your fighting form, and how to generate aggressive mobs to practice on: mob farmThese days it's unlikely that any single book can cover everything in Minecraft, and this one doesn't give clues, for example, on how to find carrots. Nor does it mention that you can keep dogs, villagers, chickens, etc from drowning by covering a well or any non-running water with a lilly pad.In terms of presentation the basic page is black with light brown text boxes with black text. The text is largish and easy to read. The material is summarized next to the screen captures. Not all the images are bright.I think this book is worth a read. It might be worth tracking down a library-binding if it's available. The basic model is sadly lacking.You will need the internetz if you are newish. Not all terms --like pillar jump-- are defined. Nor does the author cover tidbits like how you actually make bonemeal. The internet will supply this minutiae.
My child lives, eats, breathes Minecraft! It has several tidbits of information you cannot find in other books and online searches. I loved the idea of him reading his guide and then applying those ideas. My way of getting him to practice his reading and he still gets to play his game. It's a good guide to have for the crafter in your life!
