Description

Minecraft has sold multiple hundred million copies all over the world (about 25 million of those units for the PC and Mac). Consistent with Mojang, since the beginning of 2016 Minecraft continues to average 53,000 copies sold per day. Microsoft bought Minecraft (and Mojang) in 2014 for $2.5 billion. In 2016, Microsoft released a version of Minecraft specifically for educators known as MinecraftEdu that may be used by thousands of teachers all over the world.

Minecraft for Makers explores the intersection of this creative and beloved electronic game with the real world. It gives readers the opportunity to take familiar objects from the game – such as blocks, jack o’lanterns, and mobs – and make real-world versions of them. Begin with simple crafting projects the usage of wood, paint, and LEGOs. Then move up to projects that involve basic electronics with LEDs. And, after all, advance to Arduino microcontroller projects that teach programming skills and basic robotics. The skills build gradually on one another, from chapter to chapter, and the emphasis is on fun the entire way!

Chapters include:

  • Basic Projects (Item Frame with Diamond Sword, LEGO Minecraft Block, Minecraft Chess Pieces)
  • LED Projects (Glowing Minecraft Block, Glowstone Chandelier, Minecraft Chess Board)
  • Arduino Projects (Minecraft Jack O’Lantern, Night and Day Clock, Robot Creeper)
