Are you a reading enthusiast? Or perhaps you have a personal assistant who reads to you while you relax on the couch, savoring life and enjoying some delightful, tangy grapes? Well, now you can share some good news with them: they’re fired because nothing beats reading! We’ve gathered a small collection of fantastic Minecraft books that will convince you of this!
Over the past few years, we’ve compiled quite an extensive selection of books favored by players of Minecraft Pocket Edition. I often wonder why other authors approach this topic differently. Charles Dickens, no matter how great his work “A Christmas Carol” is, probably won’t teach you how to use even the most basic Redstone.
So, here are several books about Minecraft. Each one comes with a brief description to help you decide if it’s worth your time and what skills or knowledge you might gain from it. I hope you find a book that resonates with you.
Minecraft Island
Max Brooks, author of the bestseller “World War Z,” decided to take a break from zombie tales but ended up writing a book about… zombies? Yes, you heard right! This novel tells the story of a protagonist desperately fighting for survival on an island in Minecraft Bedrock. As he swims ashore, chops down trees, and tries to escape from the mobs lurking there, he does everything possible to win this brutal battle for survival, but unfortunately, he sees the message “game over”!
Who should read it: If you enjoy unique stories filled with interesting adventures, this book is for you. Almost everyone knows what it’s like to suddenly find themselves stranded on a deserted island in Minecraft. To read a free demo of the first chapter, click here.

Minecraft: Blockopedia
This truly useful book deserves a spot on every player’s desk who enjoys Minecraft Bedrock! It will be loved by block enthusiasts and despised by those who think they already know enough and would rather let it gather dust on their bookshelf. In this compact volume, you’ll discover plenty of valuable information about blocks: their origins, how to use them, hidden secrets, and where to find them in-game. This guide is perfect for “blockheads” (by the way, I wouldn’t recommend calling Minecraft players blockheads; they tend to react strangely to that term).
Who should read it: Anyone whose inventory is cluttered with colorful, dull, beautiful, and ugly blocks but has no idea how to utilize them or what their true purpose is in this world. Especially recommended for fans of Block of the Week, who want to enjoy fascinating stories about blocks without waiting too long.

Redstone Guide
After reading this book, many players acquire knowledge and learn tricks that leave me utterly amazed. My jaw drops, and my self-esteem shatters! While I struggle to wield a pickaxe, those who have read the Redstone guide invent working calculators, functional computers, Rube Goldberg machines, and trap-filled houses that even Kevin from “Home Alone” would consider excessive. I mean this in a good way. After finishing this book, your gaming achievements will reach new heights. You could say it’s a beginner’s guide to conquering new challenges and becoming a versatile builder! Check out the demo version of the book.
Who should read it: This is a must-read for everyone, regardless of skill level, as even seasoned players of Minecraft Pocket Edition will find something useful here. And if you’ve bought “Minecraft: Island” and can’t figure out why your Redstone skills haven’t improved yet, this book is the solution to your problem.

The Nether and End Guide
There are countless ways to spend New Year’s Eve. For instance, sitting by the fireplace, warmed by its crackling flames during this cold winter night. You could gather with family and celebrate together. But I’d like to suggest something else—something many fear to do: venture into the Nether and the End! Even the most experienced and legendary players flee at the sight of these terrifying realms. Fortunately, we have just the book for that. It will transform you from a novice into a brave, confident, and skilled player in Minecraft Bedrock. Good luck!
Who should read it: Anyone who frequently dies in the Nether (that’s definitely me). It’s also beneficial for improving overall skills.

By clicking here, here, here, and again here, and once more here, you can see some of them. I’m a true admirer of building in Minecraft Bedrock, but that doesn’t mean I only prefer grand and magnificent structures.

There, you’ll find tips and even instructions on how to make masterpieces that will leave all doubters in awe. Who knows, maybe we’ll showcase your successes to the world next year.
Who should read it: Creative individuals eager to learn how to build in Minecraft, including those with basic skills. The book will elevate your builds to the next level.

Exploration Guide
Have you ever gone for a walk, gotten lost, and couldn’t find your home? Or floated around carelessly, not realizing you were somewhere completely unfamiliar? I sit here wondering, how on earth are you going to create a map?? Well, well, I know the answer—you need this book. Soon after reading it, you’ll become the ultimate explorer! With this book, you’ll learn how to determine your location and navigate through other worlds in Minecraft Pocket Edition.
Who should read it: Those who have built multiple homes because they keep getting lost in similar terrains (I’m talking about the game, of course. If you get lost in real life, sorry, this book won’t help).

Official Minecraft Annual
This annual magazine returns for the second consecutive year, and I am at a loss for words regarding the Minecraft yearbook. Or maybe I have all the words, and I’ve simply forgotten how to read? Either way, this wonderful magazine is packed with ideas for builds, stunning constructions, insights from Mojang developers, and much more. To sum it up in a few words, it’s a paper paradise where the last 365 days of Minecraft come together in one splendid volume—perfect for those who prefer holding a book instead of browsing some silly website. Ah, hello there!
Who should read it: Anyone dreaming of a fantastic future book from 2019. However, everyone from Minecraft Pocket Edition fans to casual readers will find something useful within its pages.
