We bought this book to get an idea of how we could play Minecraft with our son. We mostly bought it for him. What I can say as we have sat down with him is that these builds are a great way to have fun if you're stuck or would rather follow someone else's build. It also gives the players an idea of how they can create their own ideas based on how some blocks are being creatively used. You don't have to follow things to the T either. If you want you could feasibly swap for adjacent colors, or block types, etc... This book has given me a chance to bond with my son and help me build better in Minecraft. I've gotten out of my lane small building rut too because my builds are smaller than the books builds. I even made my own mountain castle not featured in this book nor copied, based on how some folks were experimenting with blocks. If it's hard for you to see what you can do in game, sometimes it's best to draw inspiration from other sources.
