Minecraft: The Island: An Official Minecraft Novel

Product Information

Green Aesop: Early on, the protagonist accidentally makes apple trees go extinct and doesn't realize it until later. This galvanizes them into leaving half of the island exactly as-is while they'd freely mine the other half. Audience Surrogate: The protagonist can't remember their gender, family, or what they look like, making it easier for the reader to imagine it were them. Max Brooks: Yeah! When you go into the map, it’s way after Summer and Guy have moved on, so the mountain you’re seeing is not exactly as it was in the book. Actually, that was another huge challenge. I was two-thirds of the way through writing The Mountain and I sat down to play the game, and the whole Nether had changed, top to bottom! But instead of getting angry, I realized that was probably the greatest life lesson! When the world changes, you gotta change with it.

The artwork in this beautiful guide to the mobs of Minecraft is absolutely peerless. More attractive than even our most handsome readers – seriously, I don't care if you're Beyoncé Knowles (jk if you're reading this Beyoncé, and thanks so much for reading and supporting my writing career over the years). Learn more about all the mobs in Minecraft while oohing and ahhing over Anton Stenvall's stunning sketches. A coffee-table must have! Alex: Sobering stuff! But when they get together, we realize their two personalities work together well. Coming of Age Story: What little the protagonist remembers of their life is sedentary and without challenge, and they find great joy in doing things themselves instead of having someone to take care of them. PERFECT FOR: Anyone who can't find their house (in the game – if they can't find their house in real life, then 'succesfully reading a book' might be a little beyond them).

Body Horror: Early on the protagonist is horrified at their square body, especially the fingerless hands. An unnamed castaway from a world much like ours arrives in the world of Minecraft one day with little memory of their world and who they are, and no idea how to survive the first night. Max Brooks: Guy has to think and then talk through everything, and Summer is a do-er. She rushes in where angels fear to tread. I think a lot of that comes from the biome she spawned in. Guy had this island, this safe space where he had time to think and talk it out, whereas Summer spawned in the taiga, this frozen wasteland. This was the early version of the taiga, when there was almost no food, and she was freezing all the time, living on zombie flesh, and mobs came at night from every direction, so she had to fight for her life. I think it helped shape her, and so when confronted by a problem, Summer is more likely to jump in and then deal with the consequences, as opposed to Guy, who’d take a couple of days, maybe a week, to look at all the angles. a b c d e Alter, Alexandra (July 26, 2017).

Laser-Guided Amnesia: The protagonist remembers their world, but nothing about specifically themself.Do you enjoy reading? Or do you have a special butler for that who's currently reading this article to you while you just lounge around being fed grapes? Well tell him he's fired, because reading is AWESOME and we have a selection of great Minecraft books that prove it! And the Adventure Continues: After making the island safe, the protagonist leaves the island to see what else is out there. Based on a True Story: Several of the novel's events were inspired by things that happened when Max Brooks played Minecraft. This is a simple and easy Minecraft island base to make. If you're new to the game or want something small that works well, this is the one for you. Gurgling zombies and snarling wolves lurk in the night, and they’re closing in. With nowhere to hide, the lone traveler flees up a mountain, trapped and out of options . . . until a mysterious figure arrives, fighting off the horde singlehandedly. The unexpected savior is Summer, a fellow castaway and master of survival in these frozen wastes.

The top priority is finding food. The next is not becomingfood. Because there are others out there on the island . . . like the horde of zombies that appear after night falls. Crafting a way out of this mess is a challenge like no other. Who could build a home while running from exploding creepers, armed skeletons, and an unstoppable tide of hot lava? Especially with no help except for a few makeshift tools and sage advice from an unlikely friend: a cow. Max Brooks: That was the whole point of this book. Book one was: you’ve got to learn how to live with yourself. Book two is: you’ve got to learn to live with someone else. That makes this book timely. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of kids are basically trapped on the islands of their homes, and they’re going to have to leave those islands pretty soon and reintegrate, and that’s going to take a lot of social skills that have maybe atrophied. You have these two characters who are king and queen of their kingdoms and then they come together, so it's about the compromise of their friendship. How do you tell someone what you’re thinking without upsetting them? And how do you listen to them? Friendship is very complicated, when you think about it. Narrative Profanity Filter: Curses are sidestepped in the narrative, usually by saying they said a bad word but not saying which one. Max Brooks: Research is very important to me in everything I do. I don’t write that many books because I have to spend years researching. With something like Minecraft, I live under the fear of someone saying, “That would never happen!” So I played thousands of hours of Minecraft, making sure the physics of the game work in the book. Plus, there are certain things that just happen in Minecraft that you could never think of on your own. In The Island, my character shoots his last arrow at a creeper and hits a bat that happens to fly by. That really happened when I was playing Minecraft!

Reading Is Cool" Aesop: The protagonist discovers books and the knowledge they give, noting that people either didn't read them, edited them, or burned them because they disagreed with their words, but every book can expand your horizons. Once completed, this survival island base protects hostile mobs such as zombies or skeletons as long as you light up your whole island at night.
