Minecraft has earned its place as one of the globe’s most beloved video games and has significantly influenced pop culture since its launch 15 years ago. As excitement builds, a live-action film based on the game is set to be released, alongside a series on Netflix.

‘The World of Minecraft’ serves as a visual chronicle of the game, narrating the journey from a simple one-person initiative in 2009 to its status as a worldwide sensation within just a few years. The rich history surrounding this pixelated universe is as captivating as the game itself.

This publication can be regarded as an exhaustive Minecraft encyclopedia, segmented into multiple chapters, each spotlighting a distinct element of the game’s evolution. For instance, the first chapter delves into:

The game’s inception and initial release
How it transformed during its formative years
The obstacles encountered in its early phases
The origins of Minecraft’s first servers

In today’s context, with extensive budgets and sizable teams behind the game, it’s easy to overlook its humble beginnings as a solo project. The developers never anticipated that it would grow into such a powerful and influential entity. With more than 15 years of engaging fans, Minecraft’s popularity continues to soar.

Reflecting on the book, the juxtaposition between the game’s formative days and its current status is fascinating. It includes a foreword penned by lead developer Jens “Jeb” Bergensten.

Additionally, each chapter showcases notable artwork and in-game visuals spanning from early design concepts to final iterations. This visual journey illustrates the transformative nature of the sandbox experience. Initially, the game was positioned as “Minecraft: Order of the Stone,” but Notch later decided to remove the subtitle as it didn’t resonate well.

You can find the book at prominent retailers such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Target, Walmart, Hudson Booksellers, and Bookshop.org. The hardcover edition retails for $40, while the ebook is priced at $14.99. Fans have the option to place online orders as well.
