Minecraft Blockopedia 
Nonfiction 
Minecraft Blockopedia is your indispensable guide to the very stuff of Minecraft: the blocks!
Minecraft can be an overwhelming place in which to first set foot, but with this book you’ll always know what’s around you, in the air, under your feet, and at your virtual fingertips. Every single block is featured with its location, function, and behaviour. Blockopedia is grouped into helpful sections by type of block: naturally generated, ores and minerals, plants, and liquids and gases. In addition to their properties, you’ll get all the stats on blast resistance, transparency, light emittance, and block drops. You’ll also discover the secrets of each block and informative facts about how they behave. Basic blocks such as dirt, grass, and cobblestone are found in abundance in the Overworld. But for the rarer variety, such as the Monster Spawner, it will mean a trip into the Nether dimension.
