Minecraft: Guide to Redstone (Updated)

The book was in excellent condition, very well packaged.

My son loves reading this book! Arrived in expected condition of new.

I have both the Redstone Handbook and the Guide to Redstone, both showing and giving information about Redstone. They are both the same and different at the same time, each having different contraptions that can be built using Redstone.Is the Guide to Redstone, the newest book on Redstone, better than the Redstone Handbook? In my opinion, not really, just different. While the Redstone Handbook talks about items that can be used with Redstone, the Guide to Redstone shows pictures of the items that can be used with Redstone. And as I said, each book has different contraptions that can be built using Redstone.Would I favor one book over the other? No, because both have valuable information on using Redstone for the person just starting out playing with Redstone. And you do have to play with Redstone to actually understand what is happening and how to make your contraptions work.A good way to learn about Redstone is to play with it in a flat world, with no mobs to distract you, grab either the Guide to Redstone or the Redstone Handbook and play with the basics you find in either book. And don't forget the videos on YouTube, they are worth their weight in gold when it comes to learning to make contraptions using Redstone.

My son loves this book since he is obsessed with anything Minecraft

Two stars because it is basically a 6 x 9 book really does not go through the steps on how to make things work. But I have been noticing that with all the Minecraft books. When playing this game there isn’t any guidance to what you should be doing in survival how to make things work how to mix or match things to make you a stronger warrior as an armor into defeating characters. It’s a guesswork throughout the whole game and so are these books I don’t know why I gave her the two maybe a zero

This book has not been formatted to be viewed on a digital device. Instead you are seeing the full two-page spread of the book as a single image that cannot be adjusted for font size or full screen viewing (except in portrait mode…) in the Kindle app. Because the images are two-page spreads, with no option to scale the text, they really need to be viewed in landscape mode to be readable but Kindle’s landscape mode has no full screen viewing option so it automatically cuts off the bottom of each page/image. You end up having to constantly zoom in and out. This could have been easily avoided if the images had at least been broken out per actual page rather than per spread.

My Grant son Likes it

If you will read it carefully, you will become redstone bro

I guess I had higher expectations for this book. It has great detail explaining the redstone and what it does, along with various related blocks associated, but other than that, that's about it. I was hoping for way more examples/ideas to put into my worlds. As much as its respectful to have some pages dedicated to an interview with Jigarbov (creator of red-stone?), I would have rather had a few more ideas. Of course, his being acknowledged in a forward or epilogue could have sufficed. Anyways, because of this I'll be returning the book. I guess that's what happens when you buy online instead of being able to browse the content in a bookstore before commiting. Before you ask yourself, out of 93 pages the book contains about 8/9 recipes which includes alternatives/variations of the same recipe.. so not much really.
