Didn't even know there was a sequel to dungeon maker untill someone told me about it.  Loved playing the first one and so far this one's looking like it'll be as good.

I couldn't be more pleased with the christmas morning reaction on this one. My girlfriends son (13) is a HUGE minecraft fan, he said "OH MY GOD! Where did you find this? I have NEVER even SEEN these anywhere?" Score geekpoints for me! It turned out to be a pretty good way to help he and I bond a little through our shared nerdity =)

I love this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It was very interesting! It was great because I really like minecraft and I can visual the details. Ex. When Crafter was dying and was blinking red. It also gave me a few tips like at the beginning when Gamenight999 had his hidey hole he didn't place a door because of griefers. Thank you so much for writing this book and for many more to come.

After Minecraft, this is the next progression for my kids.  My son loves this game.  Seems more interactive than Minecraft.

I liked that the zombie had a human friend named Steve. Especially since I am the character Steve in Minecraft.

A blast from the past. I was never a LEGO kid growing up. The blocks never held much imagination in my opinion, although they do adhere to real-life architecture very well. I was gifted a huge K'Nex box one birthday and I've spent many years after that building my own creations. I love the cogs and rods better than the blocks and minifigures.
Finally, my daughter can have her own set, and I can relive that magic with her. The pieces feel like they used to when I was a kid. Sadly, I have no idea what happened to my kit, so I can't compare.
That said, we immediately started building when it arrived and have tried to create the initial sculptures I used to build as a kid. We finally went on to the other designs offered in the instructions; they're taking a little more time, but we're halfway through the Ferris wheel. My daughter is busy creating her own little creatures while I'm doing most of the work.

If you haven't heard of Minecraft you are probably not really a gamer.

Minecraft is a build your own adventure type game. You can play alone or with 7 other people at once. You cut down trees, smelt sand to make glass, tame horses, wolves and ocelots to make pets. You can raise, sheep, pigs, cows and chickens, for meat, wool, milk and leather. You can fight zombies, skeletons, creepers (green monster with 4 feet that can explode) witches, endedmen and perhaps a dozen more from mini zombies to magacubes. There are 3 lands you can go to the overworld The End and the Nether. You collect goods like diamonds, emeralds, gold, iron, stone cobble stone to make tools and at our.

Build your own house to any specification you desire, make it big and elaborate or small and efficient. Cook food, craft potions, trade with villagers, hunt, farm. The possibilities are endless.

There is no story line to actual game of Minecraft, but fan fixture and a back story exist to Minecraft if you care to look it up.

I enjoy this game, I play with my 14 year old son. I like getting the animals my self raising a huge pack of dogs and exploring the. At on horse back. The game can be a lot of fun. I play on XBOX 360 however you can play on Playstation 3 maybe, PS4 for certain, XBOX One, Playstation Vita, iPads, iPhone, perhaps other smart phones, & computer with even more people, items and maps. I don't know if the Nintendo has a Minecraft or not.

Loved playing this as a kid. It was my favorite computer game (besides Roller Coaster Tycoon). Actually, I'm a teen now and it's still fun!

When we first got this my 11-yr old daughter was very excited but then quickly went back to Minecraft and Roblox. We tried it out with her iPad and she made a few things but didn't stick with it for long. I was kind of disappointed actually because I thought this would be her thing. She's much more interested in creating worlds and doing it on a big screen with a powerful PC, not so much her small iPad. It's a very cool concept though and it worked as advertised.

Learn to Program with Minecraft: Transform Your World with the Power of Python presents a fun use case with Python. It covers how to install Minecraft, Python, Java, the Minecraft API, and a single-player Minecraft server called Spigot to allow you to take advantage of Python to do things to your Minecraft world. One thing to note is that installation is only covered on Windows and Mac OSX. The book also covers using the IDLE editor with Python, the Python shell, and all the basics of the language within the book-long use case of making modifications and improvements to your Minecraft world. Topics covered include variables, expressions, operators and basic mathematics, strings, booleans, if/then/else statements, loops, functions, lists and dictionaries, files and modules, and the basics of object-oriented programming. Good stuff. The text is presented with full-color examples and beautiful graphics throughout. The writing is clear and easy to follow.  If you are focused only on interacting with Minecraft and modifying my game using Python, this would be a useful resource.

For anybody with kids into Minecraft they probably know who DanTDM is. In case you don't he posts videos on YouTube about playing Minecraft. This is a cool idea for an "exclusive" Minecraft figure if you will. I'm giving this 4 stars because it doesn't have much articulation; but then again I didn't expect much. It's a cool figure your kid will love it, mine certainly did. Just don't expect much. Doesn't seem to be made like other Minecraft toys you can buy at the store. Like it's somehow a lesser plastic but it does seem like it will hold up well.

This is a review from an eight year old MineCraft expert. The book was quite long so he was allowed to have it read to him (from Kindle's text-to-speech). He was following the text because when the screen shut off he would need it back on to follow the text.f

"I give this 4 stars, because it tells you facts over and over. Most of these facts I already knew. But thats okay, it was fun to read. I knew about eating spider eyes, and protecting diamonds, but the one thing that I didn't know is to start a mineshaft in your basement. It decreases your chance of dying. Id like to see them put in some new facts about diamonds. I think they should update the book when Minecraft has new updates."

I received this product at a free or discounted rate in exchange for an honest review. These opinions are my own. I appreciate and rely on honest and accurate reviews from others when making purchases.

Kid is addicted to Minecraft, now. It was a successful present, I guess.
