Matthew Needler

This is the 3rd book in the Schoolastic Minecraft handbook series and this one focuses on building, my personal favorite aspect of the game. Intriguingly written by Matthew Needler and Phil Southam, two members of the FyreUK team who are well-known in the Minecraft community for their amazing builds.

It gives you step-by-step instructions for various simple builds, like houses, ships, and castle walls, and then shows some extreme examples of some of the over-the-top things people have built show more online. I admit I was expecting something a bit different going into it, I thought it would give more practical advice about how to use different items to add depth and detail to buildings, but it was mostly step-by-step guides for replicating the builds in the book.

It was still interesting, and more importantly, it did inspire to jump back into Minecraft immediately after finishing the book and begin a new construction project, which is what a "construction handbook" should probably do. show less
