Steve lives on a wheat farm. He has everything he needs to live in the Minecraft world: a bed, a house, and food. Steve likes to spend his mornings in the NCP village and trade his wheat for emeralds, armor, books, swords, and food. One morning, he finds that Zombies have attacked the villagers. The Zombies have also turned the village blacksmith into a Zombie, leaving Steve without a place to get swords. To protect himself and the few villagers that remain, Steve goes on a quest to mine for forty diamonds, which are the most powerful mineral in the Overworld. He wants to craft these diamonds into a diamond sword to shield him and the villagers from the Zombies.

Far from his home, with night about to set in, Steve fears for his life. Nighttime is when users are most vulnerable in Minecraft. As he looks for shelter in a temple, he meets a trio of treasure hunters, Max, Lucy, and Henry, who are trying to unearth the treasure under the temple. Steve tells them of his master plan to mine for the most powerful mineral in the Overworld—the diamond. The treasure hunters are eager to join him. Facing treacherous mining conditions, a thunderstorm, and attacks from hostile mobs, these four friends question if it’s better to be a single player than a multiplayer, as they try to watch out for each other and chase Steve’s dream at the same time.

Will Steve find the diamonds? Will his friends help or hinder the search? Should he trust his new treasure hunter friends? And will Steve get back in time to save the villagers?

This book is perfect for Minecraft fans or gamers. Most of the books can be read on an app called epic.

i think this book was awesome max rules

oh yeah, you need two pieces of wooden planks to get a stick

wow! The diamond sword is the strongest. Here are some things that are strong and you can make: Wooden Pickaxe- 2 sticks, 3 wooden planks, put one stick in the middle, and one underneath that, then put the three wooden planks on top and put them in a row. Make sure to have 8 peices of wood, put one wood in your inventory to get 4 wooden planks, then put four of those wooden planks in the box and you get a crafting table. Now get 4 more pieces of wood and put three of those in your crafting table, you made a wooden pickaxe, a stone pickaxe is different but you need three pieces of cobblestone, most found in mining. Put that in the top row and boom, you got yourself one.

I recently got this book from, My Step-Aunt Kim, and i loved it, its actually a book series and i have the other Five Books

This book is about Steve and how he has a village that is hit by a Zombie Siege, and he wants to get a diamond sword so he can stop the zombies and finds a trio that wants to help him. He and Henry, Max and Lucy. Steve also goes on an adventure to the nether and gains a portal to the End. He and his friends get a lot of obsidian and kill the Ender Dragon, the most fierce creature in all of Minecraft. Steve and his friends fight a lot of zombies and kills the most powerful zombie, and has a party in his house with all his friends.

Its a very very good book in my opinion! Its also very very detailed. I think that you should read it if your into Minecraft or want to learn about it! I wish I could read this book for ever!
