Where almost all other games would now be relegated to the discount bin, picked up by only a few 6 0001-0208 Minecraft Creator-Resize1.indd 6 5/7/14 6:53 PM new players here and there, Minecraft has only become more and more played with each passing month. Instead of fading away, Minecraft has outright exploded as it has aged, being released on almost every major gaming platform and gaining millions of new players with each passing year. There’s obviously something about this little blocky, pixelated, lighthearted game that sets it apart from other games. But what is it exactly that makes Minecraft so unique in the gaming world? What keeps players interested for years after frst picking it up? Why is Minecraft different? Minecraft is different because it is not a just a game, it is a medium. Like painting, singing or dancing, Minecraft is a way for people to express themselves. To put out into the world what is in our heads. It is an imagination facilitator like few that have ever come before, and every single day, in fact every single hour of every single day, there is something new being done in this odd little game. Every day, in some corner of the world, someone is tucked away in a bedroom, using the tools of Minecraft to create something entirely unique, entirely new and entirely brilliant. This book is about sharing those brilliant, new and unique creations that the players of the world have made inside this insanely and, we believe, appropriately popular game. Inside this book you will fnd everything from dazzling medieval castles that soar up to meet the sky, to sprawling underwater bases that are so high-tech they give most sci-f flms a run for their money. You will fnd mind-blowingly enormous structures, cities that will make even the best computers scream for mercy as they try to render their awesomeness and tidy little homes that’ll have you envisioning a master architect at work, placing each and every block with care and precision. There will be boats, temples, towns, foating islands, sublime mountainscapes, incredible inventions, addictive mini-games and not just a few dragons. You will, to put it simply, fnd a whole lot of amazing creations in this book. These are the builds of the Minecraft universe in all their glory, but we think that they’re not just that. To us, and to many of the fans out their, these builds represent what the human mind is capable of dreaming up. They are quite literally the imagination of the world. And they’re really, really cool. Let’s dive in. 7 0001-0208 Minecraft Creator-Resize1.indd 7 5/7/14 6:53 PM THE ULTIMATE MINECRAFT CREATOR Where We Live: Houses & Homes The frst thing almost every Minecrafter builds is a home. Otherwise, Minecraft can be pretty tough (those Creepers ain’t gonna stay away out of politeness), and so there’s no more appropriate place to start our tour of the Minecraft universe than the houses and homes that our virtual players live in. Now, while little Dirt hovels and your basic Cobblestone castles are all well and good, classic even, here we’ve collected some houses and homes that will have your mind teeming with new possibilities for shelters. From painstakingly crafted feudal huts to modern domiciles that look like they belong on the cover of a real-life architecture magazine, here are some of the best homes of Minecraft. 8 0001-0208 Minecraft Creator-Resize1.indd 8 5/7/14 6:53 PM Where We Live: Houses & Homes All-in-One House By MinecraftPG5: This house is truly unique; in fact we’ve never seen anything like it before. The brilliant and prolifc creators at the MinecraftPG5 group have worked their Redstone magic and created a home that features literally everything you could need all in one room. Meant to be buried or to have walls built around its mechanisms (which feature Rails, Pistons and much more), the room looks entirely empty when you walk in. However, push the labeled buttons on the wall and the mechanisms in place will draw back portions of the room to reveal everything from a Bed and a Furnace to a Brewing Stand, Glowstone lighting and more. 9 0001-0208 Minecraft Creator-Resize1.indd 9 5/7/14 6:53 PM
