    Building a Minecraft City - Sarah Guthals

    INTRODUCTION

    SO YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO BUILD LIKE A PRO IN MINECRAFT? That’s a great idea!

    Building in Minecraft can be a ton of fun. Minecraft gives you an endless world to build, with infinite resources in Creative mode and a challenging resource collection in Survival mode. Whether you are on Minecraft PC or Minecraft PE, you can build homes, skyscrapers, fountains, and even water slides and roller coasters! This book gives you strategies for building and ideas for making an awesome Minecraft city that you and your friends will want to live and play in.

    ABOUT MINECRAFT

    Minecraft is a world made out of blocks. You can play in two modes: Creative and Survival.

    In Creative mode, you have an infinite inventory of resources at your fingertips. You can fly and you never die. You can build anything you want to build, and you have a world that never ends to build it in.

    In Survival mode, you have to live by the rules of the world. You have to find resources by breaking down trees to build tools to help you mine for metals and rocks. You use furnaces and crafting tables to turn raw materials into usable ones, and you have to defend yourself against creepers, skeletons, endermen, and spiders at night.

    Either way you play, you will have fun and get to be in control of your very own world.

    ABOUT THIS BOOK

    Building a Minecraft City has four projects that help you learn how to create homes, skyscrapers, fountains, and city attractions like roller coasters. The earlier projects are simpler and easier to do in any version of Minecraft (PC or PE and Survival or Creative). Some of the later projects will work best on Minecraft PC in Creative mode.

    Sometimes in this book you’re asked to type commands. Commands will be in monofont. If you’re reading this as an ebook, you can tap web addresses to visit websites, like this: www.dummies.com.

    ABOUT YOU

    Everybody has to start somewhere, right? I had to start writing this book by assuming that you’re comfortable doing this stuff:

    Typing on a computer and using a mouse or mobile device. You may know how to use a Windows system or a Mac; either one will do. You might even be playing Minecraft on a mobile device, like an iPhone, iPad, or Android tablet. This book shows examples on a Mac and sometimes on an iPhone.

    Playing Minecraft. You don’t need to be a Minecraft expert, and you don’t have to be an expert Minecraft Builder. You can play on Windows or Mac for Minecraft PC and on any mobile device for Minecraft Pocket Edition (PE). Not everything in this book will work on Minecraft PE.

    ABOUT THE ICONS

    As you read through the projects in this book, you’ll see a few icons. The icons point out different things:

    warning Watch out! This icon comes with important information that may save you from the trouble that the pro builders sometimes have.

    remember The Remember icon comes with ideas that you should keep in mind.

    tip The Tip icon marks advice and shortcuts that can make building easier.

    BEYOND THE BOOK

    In addition to what you’re reading right now, this product also comes with a free access-anywhere Cheat Sheet that gives you some pointers on building better Minecraft projects. To get this Cheat Sheet, simply go to www.dummies.com and search for Building a Minecraft City Cheat Sheet in the Search box.

    PROJECT 1

    ENTERING MINECRAFT

    IN THE SANDBOX-SURVIVAL GAME OF MINECRAFT, YOU BUILD STRUCTURES, FIGHT MONSTERS, COLLECT ITEMS, MINE MINERALS, AND WORK TOWARD YOUR OWN GOALS. This 3-D, grid-based game features naturally generated landscapes and challenges.

    In Survival mode, you must manage your resources and acquire increasingly useful items to advance through the game. In Creative mode, you can build or design whatever structure, setup, or invention you want in your personal universe. However, most of the information you need is found in Survival mode. This project explains how to obtain Minecraft, start on a Survival world, and familiarize yourself with the basic game controls.

    REGISTERING A MINECRAFT ACCOUNT
