Minecraft Construction Handbook is about how to make creations made out of blocks. For example, if you want to make an epic roller coaster, you will need wood staircases and powered rails. One of the hardest things to create is a red dragon coaster. In order to finish building that, it will take a very long time to finish. Another one would be a floating island, because you will need to plant blocks and destroy them. The easiest creation in the book is the wooden house. In order to build it, you will need wooden planks, torches, and cobblestone. I would continue to read the Minecraft book series.

I liked this book because I like to be creative. One of my favorite creation in this book is the royal hall. Another one I liked was the floating island. I liked that one a lot, and it looked awesome. I am interested in building a half pipe design to make a ride fun. I love roller coaster rides, and they are fun to ride on.

Το να έρθει κανείς σε επαφή με τον κόσμο του "Minecraft" είναι το πρώτο βήμα. Το ότι θα κολλήσει μαζί του, ειδικά αν είναι "παιδί της τεχνολογίας", είναι το βέβαιο. Αυτό που πρέπει να κάνει, λοιπόν, μετά από μια πρώτη σύσταση, είναι το να εξερευνήσει ακόμα βαθύτερα τον κόσμο αυτό και τις δυνατότητές του. Κι εδώ οι εκδόσεις Κλειδάριθμος, μετά το "Εγχειρίδιο του νέου χρήστη", έρχονται να μας παρουσιάσουν την νέα, βελτιωμένη έκδοση του "Εγχειριδίου κατασκευών" που δίνει στους χρήστες άπειρες δυνατότητες και προοπτικές εξέλιξης μέσα στο "Minecraft". Δημιουργείστε ό,τι μπορεί να βάλει ο νους σας και να χωρέσει η φαντασία σας, χωρίς περιορισμούς, ξεφεύγοντας από τα αυστηρά στεγανά των έτοιμων ψηφιακών κόσμων, δημιουργώντας από το μηδέν τον δικό σας και φτιάχνοντάς τον όπως εσείς ονειρευτήκατε. Με απλά βήματα, και χωρίς περίπλοκες στρατηγικές, το εγχειρίδιο αυτό θα σας λύσει τα χέρια αλλά και θα σας ανοίξει νέους δρόμους σε έναν νέο κόσμο, οι προοπτικές του οποίου είναι μοναδικά αστείρευτες.

This book is about how to build things in Minecraft.
I picked this book up because it is about Minecraft.
The reason I finished this book is I really wanted to improve my skills.
I think Clark would like this book because he needs to improve his ability to make a barrack to hide in.

Some pretty neat builds. I'll be building a lot of these. I especially liked the roller coasters. Some of the builds were just OK, but perfect for beginners.

I am not a beginner. I am a master builder.

This is a brilliant book, as a fan of Minecraft, I love anything associated with it, and this book has some really, REALLY impressive build ideas in it, from the amazing team at fyreUK. I bought this to get some tips on new and interesting builds, and it has inspired me greatly, I now have a bunch of new ideas I want to try when I get back on the games. This is a must have for any fan, as it's a lovely presented hard back book, or simply if you are looking to take your builds just that block further ;)

This handy little book is full of ideas and illustrations for constructing several styles of houses, city walls, ramparts and fortifications. They also address floating islands, ships and roller coasters.

While billed as an instruction guide, no step by step instructions or design maps are given. Instead, golden nuggets of tips and tricks are sprinkled throughout. Several amazing builds are well illustrated to spark the imagination.

This book is ideal for the beginning Minecraft player or for anyone needing a bit of inspiration. Its compact size easily fits in backpacks or coat pockets.

I’ve used this book to make Minecraft buildings in the past, but finally sat down and read the whole thing. It has beautiful pictures of creations, and it’s also helpful for writers — it will give you tips for creating a unique setting and using the terrain, creatures, and world for inspiration!

The Construction Handbook shows awesome illustrations that will help players who are interested in becoming Minecraft master builders.

Minecraft is a construction video computer game that’s based on the idea of building 3D constructions out of blocks. The Minecraft Construction Handbook provides tips and instructions on building construction from the expert builders FyreUk. The Construction Handbook shows awesome illustrations that will help players who are interested in becoming Minecraft master builders. The players will learn how to construct bridges, ships, houses, rollercoasters and floating islands. My favorite design in the Handbook is the Pirate Island Ship created by Heaven_Lord and his team. They studied old builds of ships and then decided to add small cannons along the side of the hull and use yellow and black wool instead of the standard brown color. I feel the Minecraft Construction Handbook is great to have and will be very challenging for some Minecraft builders.

It was very creative. I was using it for building houses in Minecraft. The book had ideas about how to build styles of houses. I recommend to people who like building things and architecture in Minecraft.

I learned so much about architecture in Minecraft. I was able to make all these incredible things. This might be my favorite handbook.

Frustrating. The instructions are incomplete and doesn't go into a lot of detail. I tried to make the wooden house and it said to leave space for a porch yet there's no porch in the picture of the back of the house. My Mom is a really good builder and helps me build houses but even this frustred her. She even stared at the pictures and tried counting blocks. She had hoped to spend the evening curled up with a new book from a favorite author but spent it trying to build this dumb house. She finally gave up and built her own version which is so much better.
