Minecraft for Makers: Minecraft in the Real World with LEGO, 3D Printing, Arduino, and More!: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Minecraft for Makers: Minecraft in the Real World with LEGO, 3D Printing, Arduino, and More!" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Minecraft has sold more than one hundred million copies worldwide (about 25 million of those units for the PC and Mac). According to 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 called MinecraftEdu that is used by thousands of teachers around 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 olanterns, and mobs - and make real-world versions of them. Begin with simple crafting projects using wood, paint, and LEGOs. Then move up to projects that involve basic electronics with LEDs. And, finally, advance to Arduino microcontroller projects that teach programming skills and basic robotics. The skills build progressively on one another, from chapter to chapter, and the emphasis is on fun all the 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 OLantern, Night and Day Clock, Robot Creeper)

Thanks to the many makers around the world who, like me, were inspired by Minecraft to build things in real life.

About the Author

John Baichtal has written or edited over a dozen books, including the award-winning Cult of LEGO (No Starch Press, 2011), LEGO hacker bible Make: LEGO and Arduino Projects (Maker Media, 2012) with Adam Wolf and Matthew Beckler, as well as Robot Builder: The Beginners Guide to Building Robots (Que, 2013) and Hacking Your LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Kit (Que, 2015). John lives in Minneapolis with his wife and three children.

Introduction

O ne of the many charms of Minecraft involves translating the real world into the computer realm. How many examples of this have we seen? There is a Minecraft Taj Mahal, Tower of London, Washington DC Capitol, and a million others ranging from famous buildings to ones childhood home.

Thanks to a simplified building system, anyone from beginners to experts can re-create these structures. Oftentimes the block-like nature of the Minecraft interface makes for awkward translations, but frequently these projects impress viewers with their faithfulness.

Ironically, many of the adorably awkward Minecraft elementsespecially the most commonplace oneshave no parallel in the real world. Finding a precise, one-meter block of granite in a forest is not something you can expect to happen very often outside of Minecraft, yet it occurs all the time in-game. There is, therefore, a delightful disconnect between the two realms that fascinates many players.

The purpose of the book is to reverse the paradigm of re-creating real-world elements in-game. Instead well take those eccentric Minecraft elements and introduce them to our world.

What Youll Learn

This book consists of nine projects that will guide you along this approach:

Chapter 1: Item Frame with Diamond Sword

This wall-mounted decoration evokes a fanciful Minecraft element, an Item Frame that stores one object and displays it much like a painting. The chapter begins with a treatise on how to measure in-game objects and translate them to the real world.

Chapter 2: LEGO Minecraft Block

The worlds favorite toy, LEGO evokes a similar feel to Minecraft because you also use blocks/bricks to re-create the real world. LEGO even offers numerous Minecraft-inspired sets, further reinforcing that point. In this chapter Ill show you how to build the classic Minecraft block using LEGO bricks.

Chapter 3: Minecraft Chess Set

In addition to geological elements, Minecraft includes a number of monsters like zombies and wolves, collectively known as mobs. In this chapter Ill show you how to re-create these mobs in the real world, in order to make them pieces of a chess set.

Chapter 4: LED-Lit Minecraft Block

The iconic Minecraft element, the ore block has become synonymous with the game for many people. In this chapter youll build such a cube, equipped with an LED and a battery pack so that you can make it light up.
