Minecraft Combat Handbook is about how to kill monsters in the land, or the Nether. The monsters in the land are: silverfish, slime, zombie, spider, enderman, creeper, and skeleton. the Nether monsters are: zombie pigman, wither skeleton, ghast, blaze, and the wither. To go to the Nether, you will need: enchanted armor and weapons, torches, food, and flint and steel. The weapons that I learned that are the best to fight monsters are a diamond sword, and a bow and arrows. Ores are important to find because it gives you better weapons. The way to find ores are in the mines.

I liked this book because I like to read about Minecraft, and also like to fight monsters in the nights. My favorite part about the book is about the monster of the Ender Dragon. The Ender Dragon is fun to fight. Another part that was pretty interesting was about the zombie pigman life, and attack methods. My favorite part about the land monsters is the attack methods of the slime. I would continue to read the Minecraft series.

This book will teach you the basics of combat, how to spawn mobs, what to need when you are going somewhere, what tools/items to have when you are doing something, how to make posions, it has everything you would need for combat related things.



I'm really liking this series so far, and I would recommend this series to anyone. This is the second book of the series that I've enjoyed so far. It halped me defeat the mobs in minecraft.

Before laying my eyes upon the Minecraft Combat Handbook, I was but a fly beneath the giants of Minecraft player versus player combat. Unable to claim victory in a single session. The strike of my sword hit like the wet slap of a spaghetti noodle. Since viewing the awe-inspiring wisdom located within this text, I have claimed combat abilities on par with the United States Military. Long gone are the days of disappointment and dismay on the battlefield. I dine now on the sweet tears of my enemies. I sleep well knowing my seat in Valhalla is reserved.

This book... This single guide book... It helped me through many twist and turns... It taught me everything about Minecraft so I could survive... It made me who I am today, and I will never forget that enthralling experience reading this so I could act cool in front of my friends and family. It will forever be ingrained in my mind. From the bottom of my little Minecraft heart, thank you.

While reading this book I enjoyed most how the author listed all sorts of informational facts that the reader/minecraft players might not even know ever existed. For example, how much durability a weapon has or how much damage it can do. Another thing i found interesting in this book was how much health hostile enemies had and their weakness. For example, did you know that zombie pigmen have 20 health points? That amount of points would be equivalent health to wither skeletons. The best part of this book is that the information is by experts in the game and they know the best strategies on what to-do and what not to-do. This book also is a great source for people who want to make traps or even a cannon!

Šī arī laba grāmata sērijā - pastāsta no cita viedokļa un līdz ar to arī daudz iemāca. Bērns grib pāriet no radošā uz izdzīvošanas līmeni tagad.

I think these are one of the most popular Minecraft books, they are one of mine anyway! Very ,very, useful, mostly for beginners, but experts could also learn a thing or two.

There is a list of contents at the beginning of the book to easily find the subject matter you are looking for, eg skeletons, potions, witches or ghasts, etc.

There are lots of informative diagrams on every page, which really helps explain the tips and hints given, eg, with zombies, the diagrams tell you to lure them out into the sunshine, and don't get trapped in a corridor with them. The diagrams really help prevent the book getting too complicated and make understanding a lot faster and easier. What you see on the page is what you see in the game.

I own another Minecraft book on how to build complicated buildings, but it has all text and absolutely no diagrams. I couldn't understand how to build any of the ideas, because the book was so wordy, very complicated and confusing. A picture tells a thousand words, and the diagrams in this book are what make it so successful at explaining how Minecraft works.

Minecraft is a very popular game for kids. It's about trying to survive on an unknown land while try to survive monster like skeletons zombies and other scary creatures, so to survive we have to defend ourselves. This book is for that it tells us everything about combat. But it's not violent because it is all blocky so you literally don't know what is going on. There are other books that are also about Minecraft but so far this is my favorite one. This book is about Minecraft, it has an ideal information about the game but this topic is is my favorite. It is a guide to show how to fight in the game and get the best out of the hits. It also tell us how to craft and has lots of useful tips on the game.

The minecraft combat handbook is not that new so, when I finished the book, it had lots of stuff not added in. example : the nether currently does not exist on P.E. (Pocket Edition). The nether does exist in Pocket edition. It also has redstone features which is not supposed to be there. Then there is incorrect stuff about mobs. The small magma cube does more damage.

[Jana]

I thought it was useful to the game, when you play.

[Dylan Monson]

Good if you like the game and wanna get better at it.

[Jack]

It is a great book to help with minecraft combat.

[Gruff]

[Tomás Bagan]

[Andrew Parkes]

[Stacey]

[Leo]

This book is great if you want sum of those epic wins when murdering you're friends because they kidnapped your 24 cats which is pretty poggers if you ask me✌️😎🔥

[American Mensa]

This book is an informational handbook that tells you so much about the world of Minecraft. It tells you who you may face, how to defeat them, and what useful drops they have in store. It tells you how to construct swords, headgear, and other armor. And that`s not all!

What is the End? Where do you find diamonds? How do you enchant an item? The answers to these questions and more are in this book! My favorite part was how to defeat the Ender Dragon. The fact that its drops are top secret automatically made me want to fight the Ender Dragon. I rate this book 5 stars because, after reading it, it made me want to begin playing Minecraft. I hope you enjoyed my review.

A book that i read was minecraft combat handbook and it gives you a lot of info on how the game works this book is a good book and i would recommend it to newcomers to the game so they could get some practice.This book is also so useful as for many other books of the same genre that will help anyone just get a good beginning to what you would expect and what will happen during playing this game.If you could just skim through this book you would understand what kind of help this book would have during any survival game especially this game.

[David]

This book would have saved me months of trial-and-error in Minecraft, including my very first encounter with an Enderman. That being said, the book details the various statistics (health and damage included) of Minecraft creatures, the best ways to take them on, and ways to booby-trap things to catch other players off guard. I'd never imagined booby-trapping a tree with TNT. The PvP section is such a devious read.

[Manuel]

This was really helpful to now all the animals health how much harts do iron golems and the ender dragons health. It also helps with how much durability a weapon has or the amount of uses it has how much damage something does. Its very helpful if you barely started playing Minecraft or if your a fan and just started playing. This was helpful when I was a big noob and it might be helpful to you in my opinion this a good book.
